Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted June 30, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 30, 2022 This is somewhat apples to oranges from the OP's question, but we used the Abbott BinaxNow tests in Venice recently for our "fly back home" test. Obviously, prior to the CDC dropping the test requirement. My point being that it was done in an international setting and had no issues at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jeter02 Posted June 30, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Fabulous! Thank you! I think I'm more excited that Europe requires 3 days out before your cruise versus here in the states with the two days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm... not too sure what you are looking at, but as long as you are fully vaccinated and boosted in the U.S. (and if you are going in the UK, you need to be boosted), you have 3 days in the U.S. also: https://www.princess.com/plan/cruise-with-confidence/cruise-health/frequently-asked-questions/us-cruises/?accordion=covid-test-prior-to-boarding COVID-19 Testing Requirements UPDATED: Will I need to have a pre-travel viral COVID-19 test performed prior to boarding the ship?

Esprit Posted July 7, 2022 #8 Share Posted July 7, 2022 There was a thread regarding pre cruise Covid testing for UK passengers on European fly cruises, but I can't now find it. Someone was asking about tests performed at Lloyds Pharmacy. We had ours this morning for our Regal cruise on Saturday. Both negative and the clinician was very professional and courteous. I would definitely recommend Lloyds Pharmacy. The paper certificate was ready within 15 minutes. They can be emailed but there have been issues where the emails didn't arrive, so paper certificates are safer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jeter02 Posted July 7, 2022 Author #10 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) Yep saw Don's video yesterday but that doesn't start till August 1st if we're lucky. Plus I don't mind taking the test I actually kind of prefer the people take the pre-covid test for that added little blanket security doing at least when people got on for the most part they were negative.

I wouldn’t have posted if I had not done the research. I do not always believe what I read on the internet! The have been no announcements from the European Union re pre cruise testing. The only announcements re pre cruise testing are from those cruise lines that have stopped pre cruise testing on select cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
