IanFaith Posted June 13, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Hi everybody Apologies if this has already been answered, but I’ve had a quick search and can’t find anything relevant. I can’t find anything specific on the RCCL website either. Does anybody know if a test taken in the UK, or any other country for that matter, will be valid for a US departure if taken two days before the sailing date? We are planning on flying into the US the day before our cruise departs and ideally would like to test before leaving. If anybody has had any experience of doing something similar it would be great to hear from you. Many thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshrich Posted June 13, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Hi, yes, any observed test should be fine, we are having one done on Wednesday in the UK for a friday departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to CC. The RCI site lists the criteria the test should have. Edited June 13, 2022 by Biker19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wandering two Posted June 13, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Yes, did the very same in April. Tested on a Thurs morning at Randox in Dublin before a flight, at that point of course we needed it to get into the USA, so the one test covered us for our cruise on the Saturday.

BekkaW Posted June 13, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Yes it’s allowed. I used German test to board Freedom in Miami last week. Literally the only thing the check in agent looked at was line that said negative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texmex.ferr Posted June 13, 2022 #8 Share Posted June 13, 2022 We have tested in the UK for our previous cruises this year, all being done by Randox in either Glasgow or Edinburgh Airport, and all have been done with results back very quickly, and well within their published timescales. We also printed off the emails with the testing results to make it easier at check in at the ports, in case our internet didn't work very well within the building. Enjoy your cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kezzie62 Posted June 15, 2022 #9 Share Posted June 15, 2022 We used DocHQ to test 2 days before getting on the ship and flew into the US the same day as the test. Had no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
