ARJAY Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 Someone in our party tested positive for Covid 8 days before our cruise but is now symptom-free. If she still tests positive on cruise day, is there ANY alternative like an affidavit of recovery from a doctor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLH Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 No, I have just looked into this. For a letter of recovery, It has to be 11 days and a positive PCR or NAAT test as well that was proctored. Although the cdc recognized rapid tests for travel back to the us with a letter of recovery. My daughter tested positive last Tuesday and hoping she will test negative for our June 6th test. I will say when testing for the cruise, make you do a rapid test and not a pcr or Naat which tends to pickup non active virus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AspiringCruisePlanner Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 Unfortunately, even if she received a letter of recovery, she would be denied boarding due to testing positive within 10 days prior to the cruise. The question is explicit on the health questionnaire. Although, your whole party is eligible for a full refund since she tested positive. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/if-i-test-positive-for-sars-cov-2-what-is-your-refund-policy-and-costs-covered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 It's highly likely the person should be testing negative again before the cruise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 If someone in the party tests positive and you can't go, will they allow you to book again at the same rate/price you paid to rebook the same cruise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not have this option available. You could always ask or have your TA try to get this, but the policy states only refunds or future cruise credits can be issued in this scenario.
