mscg2000 Posted October 28, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 28, 2021 What has your experience been on a BTB with the Covid test? For the second cruise do we need another test? Should we bring home test with us? This is our first BTB in the Covid era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted October 28, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 28, 2021 On B2B you will be tested onboard for free the last day of the cruise. They combine this testing with the B2B meeting. Be careful on your first cruise. If you are identified as a close contact of someone who tests positive on the first cruise you will not be allowed to sail on the second leg even if testing negative multiple times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a super easy process done at the b2b meeting.... you get official results with your docs on turn around day, but if no one tackles you i the 3 or so hours after your test, you can assume you're negative lol 😉 Also, we honestly spent the first week socializing normally with people onboard, but almost never took the elevator.. off ship we wore masks whenever indoors or in crowds... had a fantastic & worry free trip both legs 🙂 enjoy your cruises ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted October 28, 2021 #4 Share Posted October 28, 2021 We were on a B2B in September, and were also tested following a short meeting for the B2B passengers. There were only six B2B passengers, so the process was very quick. We were not charged by Celebrity, and Celebrity was also doing complimentary testing for those who needed the tests to fly to their home countries.

smurf1635 Posted October 29, 2021 #5 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Wondering if Celebrity would test us for our Carnival cruise that we are embarking on when we disembark the Edge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely plead your case. Side by side to X is covered, as has been RCL, but there have been a few reports here of testing for cross-company side by sides as well. Lines are probably hoping for reciprocity. I'd have a Binax ready just in case, though. Too few reports of how it has been handled to put money on it.

You can certainly ask. Only way to know and I would want a YES in writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
