San Francisco Covid Testing at Pier for Ruby

[Cruzinnana47]

Tried posting on West Coast Departures board re info. on SF cruise terminal....guess I wasn't specific enough.  What we really want to know is, exactly where at Pier 27 is the pre-cruise Doc Go covid testing done for the Ruby?  Is it located in the terminal---where specifically.  Or, is it done outside.?  1st time embarking from SF.  Will be sailing May 10.   We booked with Doc Go. just in case we can't get results in time from tests done in our area before we fly out to the west coast.  Better safe than sorry, so we're going to "double-test".  Scheduled appts. right within boarding window (A)  This has been the most stressful part of planning the cruise....LOL.

 

TIA!!

Thought about it, but not crazy about the idea..would rather have someone else administer the tests for us.   Don't want to deal with the online aspect.   Not great with those kinds of things.  Had hard enough time with the Medallion app.  Too much frustration!

Sailed on the Ruby Princess on February 25th out of San Francisco through the Panama Canal. We are located on the east coast and decided to use the Doc Go test since we arrived in San Francisco 3 days before the cruise. When we got to the pier for our boarding time, we found out that Princess was giving everyone a rapid covid test in the terminal before embarkation. Because of this, we never used the Doc Go testing. Once we were onboard, we went to the Guest Services desk and they reimbursed us for the Doc Go test. The credit appeared on our shipboard account.

I would suggest that you call Princess to find out what they are doing now since this was almost 2 months ago.

As of 3/27/22.  As you near the main terminal entrance ( that leads to security), a sign just outside the main door splits the line.  As I recall the left line is for covid testing and in-transit passengers.  The right line is for arriving new embarkation passengers. 

The main terminal entrance doors will be very obvious.  You will likely see a line of new embarkation passengers waiting to enter.  Be sure not to accidentally go to the end of the embarkation line
