schittenden Posted August 6, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 6, 2022 We’re flying to FLL to depart on the Equinox tomorrow. My son (10) is traveling with us. He is fully vaccinated and boosted. Based on the Celebrity website (attached) we did not think he needed a day-of COVID test because he is vaccinated. Similarly, he doesn’t require a pre-cruise PCR test, just an antigen test. Today, we received an email (attached) that says all children ages 2-11 require a day-of COVID test and has a link to schedule the test. Does anyone know which is correct? I’m concerned that if he does need a day-of test, maybe he needed a PCR test pre-cruise too, although I haven’t seen anything that says that.

LeeW Posted August 6, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Everybody gets the email - we get them and are over 70 and are NOT traveling with kids. Vaccinated kids have same rules as vaccinated adults. Son just needs the antigen test. Edited August 6, 2022 by LeeW more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only unvaccinated require day of testing, why not say that? I’m not going to make him an appointment and we’ll see what happens when we get there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let us know if they will test him at the port or if you will be denied boarding. He does require an antigen test within 2 days of boarding. If he has already been tested, I think the email is incorrect Edited August 6, 2022 by Gia2cats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP said son was doing normal adult antigen test already and isn't going to make an additional unneeded appointment for testing at the pier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. We did the antigen test yesterday for our cruise tomorrow. That was negative. I meant I wasn’t going to schedule him an appointment for day-of testing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
