koolforkatz Posted May 17, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Does anyone have any experience yet testing with the government freebie tests (Rapid Response in B.C.) for boarding a Celebrity ship in the med? We used them without any issue for a mini cruise out of Vancouver on HAL last month. I have no reason to think they won't be accepted because Celebrity's Canadian website just states "negative antigen test" so I assume they're good. But would be nice to hear firsthand experience. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue12 Posted May 18, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I don’t know if this helps but we brought free rapid tests from home and used Azova ($20 U.S. each) for the tele monitoring part. We sailed MSC out of Genoa, Italy on May 14 and had no problem at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookbabe Posted May 18, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 18, 2022 We used Azova and the Ontario-issued Rapid Response tests to board NCL at the beginning of May. Quick and easy, no problems with having them accepted. https://www.azova.com/travelvideo/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
