Hello lovely people, We are getting ready for our July 10th sail with Brilliance Of The Seas. We need to sort out COVID testing whilst in Venice. Has anyone done this? Could provide a location/cost for it to be done. We are only in Venice for a day and I don't want that dominated by the tests. I did read somewhere (can't find it now) That RC actually send out a list of locations. Can anyone confirm this. Thank you Dave (and the Bird Family, first time on RC)

Hello Lovely People. First time cruiser on RC and first time cruising since the dreaded COVID spoilt everything. We are travelling from the UK to Venice in July for a trip on Brilliance Of The Seas. We are going out two days early to see a bit of Venice before travelling down on the RC shuttle to the boat. I can see that I am required to provide a test two days before sailing but what I don't understand is the logistics of providing this test. I'm assuming that it's a Lateral Flow test rather than a PCR so the results will show up right away and don't have to be sent away. It has to be supervised and a certificate signed. I have seen mention of doing this online etc. Does this mean that I will have to find a place in Venice to administer the test and sign the certificate? If so have any other people done this and could they recommend a place to go. I don't want to spend the one day in Venice trying to find somewhere. Wouldn't it be so much more easier if the ship itself tested every passenger as they boarded? I know that it would add 20-30 minutes to boarding time but would save all this fuss. Any help is most gratefully received. Dave (and his family, including mother-in Law)

Thank you Nice people, for your replies. I can now plan ahead. Happy Cruising Dave

Hello Lovely People. I'm on my way to Santorini in July on Brilliance of the Seas. First time on Royal Caribbean. Have been trying to find where RC docks at Santorini so that we can then decide what shore excursions to do. I found lots of conflicting advice. Can anyone please clear up for certain where RC dock in Santorini. Thank you so much. Dave (and his family)
