taveller Posted September 5, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Hello.... anyone know if onboard covid testing is being done prior to return to US from Caribbean? Is the tracelet uncomfortable to wear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWFL Cruisers Posted September 5, 2021 #2 Share Posted September 5, 2021 We were on the Equinox on August 1st and no testing was required on return. As for the tracelet, I wore it on my belt loop and never knew it was there and my wife kept hers on her purse strap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sox Fan Cruiser Posted September 5, 2021 #3 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Barely noticed that I had it on. It’s adjustable like a watch with many holes to have it as loose or tight as you want. One time I went to shower and took off my watch and completely forgot about the tracker on my other wrist. Ooops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DCPIV Posted September 5, 2021 #4 Share Posted September 5, 2021 The tracelet was a non-issue and not at all uncomfortable. I would forget it was there. The biggest deal was getting used to putting it on because I wore it on the wrist of my dominant hand, but I had that down by the end of the second day. No big deal at all.

cangelmd Posted September 5, 2021 #5 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Tracelet was no big deal as others have said. In early August testing was available for persons on B2B and for non-US citizens who needed testing to re-enter the US. Not routine testing. Not sure about current status.

Rare TravelBluebird Posted September 5, 2021 #7 Share Posted September 5, 2021 There are some reports on the board of people who boarded Equinox today that said they were not given tracelets. So I don’t know if this has now changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DCPIV Posted September 7, 2021 #8 Share Posted September 7, 2021 DW and I didn't mind the tracelets at all, but we did question their efficacy. Here's hoping for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Anne Posted September 8, 2021 #9 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I do not believe that tests to return to the US are required for ships that left from a US port and return to a US port. We were tested in St. Maarten after our Summit cruise two weeks ago because it was required to fly into the US from a foreign port. Tracelet didn't bother me at all but I'm pretty sure they are going to facial recognition for contact tracing....I know Royal is doing that.
