Help clarifying covid test “3 days prior”

[ssbeard1]

My daughter and I do the 3 day count differently. If your cruise leaves on Saturday what is the earliest you can get your Covid test ?   It sounds simple but we are doing our day count differently.

Take a calendar and start counting from the sail date (0) backwards.

You can take it anytime Wed, Thurs, or Friday.  Day of the cruise does not count.

Explained pretty well in the FAQ: https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/how-do-i-figure-out-when-to-get-pre-cruise-covid-19-test

Thanks.  I had Wednesday and my daughter had Thursday.     Wednesday worked better for most of us but didn’t want to go a day early.   🤣🤣🤣

Wednesday per the link. I am glad we can test at home now instead of relying on spotty hotel service and trying to print the results

 

We leave the Thursday prior to our sailing.

Also you can take it as soon as day 3 starts.

At 12:01 AM on Wednesday.

Currently Alaska and Bermuda still have two day rule but assume you are not going there.
