Do you require negative Covid test to board Norweigian ships

[ColeThornton]

Go to NCL.com and click the banner at the top of the page for current info.  Easy.

The simple answer is yes...and no. (I know, not too helpful).

Depends where you are departing from and where you're going.

The best thing to do is what @ColeThorntonadvised.

And whether you're vaccinated or not.

No

Yes

Obviously, calling NCL is best but sometimes, yes, sometimes no.   If the destination requires a vaccine, you might still need it to board (ie Canada).

We're departing from Athens, where a test is required.  Is NCL accepting internet proctored self tests?  I've heard mixed answers.

 

Also, best self test to get?  I have a bunch of Binax but can't seem to find info about getting it proctored other than vague answers that's it's possible on the Abbott website. Tyia

I use OnPoint Testing, which is a Telehealth service where you supply the test and they proctor it.  They do Binax and all the others accepted by FDA.  I personally find Binax a bit more difficult than some of the others but they're all accepted.

It is important that people follow the cruise line rules. For example, NCL used to require 100% of the passengers and crew to be fully vaccinated when the CDC did not require it. If you were not vaccinated, you would be denied boarding. Same now. If you are not compliant with the cruise line rules, you will be denied boarding.

Everything could change before you depart for your cruise, so definitely keep watching the NCL website and each country's website that you're visiting...we used an at-home proctored test by Ellume. On 9/3, In Manhattan, the agent had no clue if it was acceptable or not, so had to go talk with a supervisor. Definitely gave me a slight case of heartburn, although they did have at-pier testing for a charge so we could have just tested then. NCL did wind up accepting our test.

Bermuda might still require registration and $40 per passengers too!

It depends on whether you're vaccinated and what countries you're visiting on the cruise. Without more information we can't give you a better answer.

We are boarding the Jade in Athens in a couple of weeks and need a negative test.  Does anyone know if they do the tests in the airport and the cost?
