Rebecca Palmer Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 Can somebody please give me some guidance and pointers. Cruising out of Southampton for 7 days. Depart on a Sunday. I have been told that I need to obtain a PCR 2 days prior and my 4 year old one day prior. How on earth am i expected to get my daughter tested and the results back on the Sunday. Am i really expected to travel 3 hours to the port on the Sunday on the hope that her results are negative? IF anybody has done this and can let me know the testing company they used that would be fab. I think the whole process is an absolute shambles with additional expense in comparison to the other cruise lines. Princess cruise they do not test until 5 years old and P&O do the testing for free at the terminal!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebecca If you're travelling on a Sunday you get get the lateral flow test done on the Friday, (2 days before travel) The attached may be useful.
