Rare Bruce4fun Posted October 11, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Does Virgin require a Covid 19 test before arrival or at the pier like most cruise lines now do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodjs Posted October 11, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 11, 2021 No, Virgin tests everyone at the pier before boarding in Miami. Cost is covered by Virgin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chamoretta Posted October 17, 2021 #7 Share Posted October 17, 2021 The testing is well organized in regards to cueing and paths but you need to pack patience. It took a while to get results and people in the same party that were tested at the same time didn't get results at the same time. My husband got his exactly 45 minutes before I received mine. We tested at the exact same time. You also are pushed into a waiting room with lots of people before they have figured out who may be positive. I wish I would have packed some water and snacks. We only had breakfast as our plan was to hit up The Dock for some small bites before dinner. I expected to be on the boat at 2:15. We didn't get on until after 5:30. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having to wait 3 hours in a packed room where there could be COVID positive travelers does not sound like a "well organized" process to me. Sounds like a huge cluster fuss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
