teddy Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 I’d like to think this is the last time we have to jump through this particular hoop to board a ship, but we’re cruising to Canada in October. ….but for now….We’re all negative for our Sunday cruise!! (I figure people here will get it. No one at my work seems to understand why I’m so happy) FloatyBoaty, sammy79, BrianB and 22 others 16 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycho and Barb Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Hopefully Canada will join most of the rest of the world soon and stop requiring negative test. However, we won't hold our breaths waiting. teddy and Kathleen 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I truly can’t imagine having suitcases packed and getting a positive. I would be heartbroken.

Ampurp85 Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 Happy cruising! 13 days to go for me, thankfully no testing required. My stress is currently whether either of my cruises will stop in Ensenada. teddy, WAAAYTOOO and Pattycruise 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on Allure for an 8 day in mid January...Omicron still running strong...amazing good fortune, the day we boarded NO positives on the crew and where ports were omitted on the past three cruises we hit all 4 ports. Testing in about 12 hours and since they moved the time back out to 72 hours it gives us that extra time to pack before we fly.

Gadget Hackwrench Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 I went to a place called SameDayHealth that if you have insurance gives free for you PCR tests while you wait in your car. They told us it could take up to 72 hours for the lab to process the results. We received the results after only 11 hours. It was required for our Bermuda trip. Fortunately Bermuda does not have many covid cases. ChessE4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinJ Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 My son and I just finished our EMED proctored tests, both negative. It's amazing just how stressful it still is as you wait. Next just need to get to NJ and board Oasis. I need to order new tests, need them for our Canada cruise in October.

Morganno Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Congrats. We had to do it for our two european cruises this summer. I always self tested before so kind of knew the result but it's still stressful. It didn't matter for the first cruise as anyone in our party of 12 who never had covid caught it on the cruise.

How many Emed tests do you need? I have two left that I won't be able to use before they expire. (Nov 6, 2022) I'd rather just give them to someone on this site that needs them instead of throwing them away. UPDATE: The two tests have been requested by and sent to another blog member with a Canadian port stop. KevinJ and fireclan 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
