At the moment you just have to declare that you've had a negative covid test in the previous 72 hours. But does depend on the policies of countries being visited.

You can look up latest information re testing and vaccination on the website. https://www.pocruises.com/cruise-with-confidence/preparing-to-sail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbtablet Posted September 1, 2022 #7 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) "currently for those calls it is a non observed home test the day before." Nope! "At the moment you just have to declare that you've had a negative covid test in the previous 72 hours." Nope! Sorry to be the pedant again, but although the manner of testing info is correct, it is currently 2 days before embarkation - I should know as I am leaving on a P&O cruise on Saturday!

Yes, had brainfart it's 48hrs. Some other cruise lines have 72hrs? Anyway, it's a moot point as there are no checks anyway. I'm sure that everyone who had a car sick child on the way to the port, or had a dodgy kebab a couple of days before the cruise also declares it on the health questionnaire? It's just the cruise companies covering their backs, so they could say they have covid and norovirus protocols in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
