Cruiscs Posted July 16, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) Hi. Departing from Barcelona on a sunday. Does that mean you can take a PCR/antigen test anytime on friday? Have heard some say 48 hours before boarding time, while others say 2 days. Which are correct? Edited July 16, 2022 by Cruiscs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving Sunday you can get your test on Friday. that is two days. Friday over Saturday. Saturday over Sunday. Two days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eightofninekev Posted August 22, 2022 #16 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) I went on an Artic circle cruise in June and was checking in for my cruise everything was fine until the covid test results . The guy said i was outside of the 48 hour window and need to call over a supervisor to ask what to do . I got my test done at 10am on the Saturday and was boarding in Amsterdam at around 2pm . I asked what would happen if they didn't accept my test he said they would have me tested . I have been on 3 cruises this year and this was the only time i had problems with the test . I did get on without needing another test but it was worrying waiting . Edited August 22, 2022 by eightofninekev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
