Thanks for any info in advance The test needs to be complete up to 2 days prior to sailing and the day of sailing does not count. sail on Saturday and you can test on Thursday, Friday or Saturday.

And I think if you sail on Saturday, then Thursday and Friday are the days you should be tested. Many pharmacies in Rome are providing this test, depends when you plan to arrive in Rome.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also test on the Saturday. It is only unvaccinated kids who cannot test the day of embarkation as they get another test at the pier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately we can'tdo it before we leave as that's 3 days early but once we land we are 2 days early 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare FionaMG Posted August 4, 2022 #12 Share Posted August 4, 2022 1 minute ago, at last finallly said: Day of boarding bit risky... Bit more than a bit, I'd say. If your travel schedule allows, do it before you set off from home. If you're unlucky enough to test positive it's far better to still be on home turf. Also, keep watching this board in case Royal decide to do away with testing between now and your sail date. If that happens it will be reported here within about three nano seconds of the news being released. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tested Saturday, two hours before leaving for our flight to Rome, for a Monday embarkation. Didn't want to fly out if the test was positive. Bought airline tickets fully refundable. Enjoy your cruise, and the wonderful company 😁 In the end, I tested positive on our return 😢 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
