MAGSMFC Posted June 8, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 8, 2022 We are boarding a Celebrity ship in Barcelona after disembarking from another cruise line. We will be staying overnight in Barcelona - hotel not booked as yet. Can anyone advise me whether we can do a test before boarding at the port. If not can anyone give me any advice as getting worried about what to do. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaLegsAl Posted June 8, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 8, 2022 WE did a RC cruise recently from Barcelona. There was nothing at the port but at the airport there was a 15 minute test centre. I'm sure there are others around Barcelona also but this I know is there (well was a few months ago). It is located in the departure terminal, not arrival terminal.

Tony UK Posted June 9, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Lots of UK options for take with you tests. If you are switching ships same day you could do your test on line before you debark. We used project screen by prenetics but there are lots of others. We paid around £28 and pre booked our appointment which was over zoom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michidoeme Posted June 9, 2022 #8 Share Posted June 9, 2022 We had good experience in this testing centre which was efficient and cheap (think 25 Euro ). https://democratest.com/test-antigenos/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIk42A5tKK9wIVhBTUAR1FCwp0EAAYAiAAEgI1VfD_BwE These are their most central locations: Clínica Veneer´s, Ronda de Sant Pau, 34-36 (we used this one, is a bit difficult to recognize as it is in a dental centre and is close to Las Ramblas) Cínica C.E.M, Plaza de Dr Letamendi 34, Clínica Arisa, Paseo de Picasso, 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted June 9, 2022 #9 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Another option might be one of the new services that do proctored tests with ANY test which I would think would cover regular antigen tests available in UK pre-cruise. https://onpoint-testing.com/product/certified-teleservice-covid-testing/?gclid=CjwKCAjwyryUBhBSEiwAGN5OCHNIpbqRJyWDeYQSvgqh7KwesMLm_fQm1o7f8WQCiqqUHLDDmKQJAxoC77kQAvD_BwE Virtual Proctoring | Covid Testing by Total Testing Solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkesbaynz Posted June 10, 2022 #12 Share Posted June 10, 2022 There is a thread on the Barcelona Port CC section. We are off in September. I can recommend Prenetics but as we are travelling with IT illiterate friends will likely book at a test centre in Barcelona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are centrally located near Sagrada Familia. They provided results in English and included our passport numbers. Only took 10 minutes and cost 45€. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a COVID test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elleluv Posted June 10, 2022 #14 Share Posted June 10, 2022 If you do a proctored covid test, you need to make sure the test kit you use is FDA approved. I'm not sure how available they are outside the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
