alezal32 Posted September 5, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Hello All, Has anyone been tested on the ship? Do they use PCR or Antigen tests? Is it that kind of test that they push far back into the nasal cavity? Thank You, Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpyNor Posted September 5, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Hmmm - I thought ALL covid tests (both PCR and Antigen) had to be done "far back into the nasal cavity".....? At least that is how it is done here in Norway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that is how it is done here in Norway. I've never had an Antigen test in the US that involved anything like that. It's always just wipe around the inside of the nostril. Do people still complain? YES!!! Do they make silly statements like it's killing them?? Of course!!! People will be people. I have had one PCR test that involved the "real" swabbing, and agree that it's not the most comfortable experience. I lived. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danny6514 Posted September 6, 2022 #6 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Did a PCR test on the bliss back in December and it definitely did not go all the way back. Infact, it was in and out in literally 1 second, made me feel like they purposely didn't want a positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
