Covid test for UK Cruisers

[cruisevirginuk]

Hi UK cruisers,

 

Can anyone recommend a rapid Antigen Covid test provider that will be accepted by MSC cruise?

Just want to make sure no problems with the test when boarding.

Thanks and regards.

Randox self test Antigen LFT is accepted for boarding in Southampton. They are around £13 each as well so very good value.

I thought self tests weren't acceptable (and they have to be official lab tests)

Self tests are acceptable provided that you receive a lab result certificate showing your result. NHS self tests with a text or email are not acceptable.
