JandJ Cruisers Posted May 5, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 5, 2022 According to the Princess website. As from 7th May there is a change of Covid embarkation requirements. an Antigen Test can be carried out up to 3 days prior to boarding, with the exception of passengers boarding in Athens who still have to take a test 24 hours before embarkation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace_Caliente Posted May 8, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I also see now it is written in bold that it will cost $60 USD per person to have it done at the terminal, whereas before I believe it just said complimentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeniseAtBeach Posted May 8, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Thanks for the head’s up J&J! Surprised Princess has not advised us as we sail from Barcelona 21May and we’re going to do the C19 Test at the pier AT NO COST. Yes I see where the USD60 per person will go on the cruise folio. We have made appts to get tested at home 2 days before embarkation. Good thing I came onto CC and saw this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point it was $100 pp, then free, and now $60 pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanr204 Posted May 8, 2022 #6 Share Posted May 8, 2022 So is it three days prior including embarkation day or not including? In other words if we’re boarding on a Saturday can the test be done on the Wednesday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this requirement sticks, we can do test at home on a Wednesday in late Sep before flying to FCO and the test will be good for boarding day since we land two days prior and depart evening three days prior. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karabear15 Posted May 12, 2022 #10 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Alright, I just can't keep any of this straight anymore. If this is still the case come August...If we fly out on Wednesday evening (17th) and land at FCO the next morning (18th), but board on the 20th...are we cleared to get a rapid test Wednesday morning-and it fits in the 3-day window or are we better off getting one at one of the many pharmacies in Rome?
