Never mind the testing, but a 10:00 a.m. flight is cutting it really close. See if you can take a later flight on the same day.

Maybe. A friend of mine just flew home from a TA: tested negative at the airport and positive when she got home (like hours later).

Sure, they can be replaced . . . but not on a ship or during international travel. I'd rather not deal with the annoyance and inconvenience if possible.

Head to the Roll Call section and search for your ship and cruise.

For others' edification, there's a difference between "the day before" and "within 24 hours."

If you are in the U.S. (can't tell from my phone), order some of the free government tests and practice. Then watch the YouTube videos of others taking the tests. That'll give you a good idea.

Following. It's taken me over two months to get my solo double points for a March cruise. I'd like the contact for when it happens again. (This isn't the first time I haven't gotten the points, but the first time it's taken eight weeks, four calls, and two e-mails.)

You will participate. I blew my pieces (this was before COVID, so they might not want people's mouths on the rod anymore [they used to clean the ends with some wipes]), used the wooden paddle to shape, used the tongs/tweezers, etc. You'll get a lot of help, but I enjoyed doing what I did. I have four pieces and all of them stand straight. Well, not the ornament. 😉

You can take the test the day before the flight.

I find the more I cruise, the less I plan. Pack some clothes, bring your toothbrush, and just plan to relax. 😊 Fingers crossed for a negative test.

I love being in the Solarium between about 4 and 7 precisely because few people are around. 😄 I could see letting kids in if it's inclement weather, but I would probably leave.

Or how they make us think they're contact tracing . . .

Thanks -- location doesn't show on cell phone.

You should also build in some time to get a COVID test, assuming you're flying to the U.S.

They will sell you a telehealth test after you disembark. You can take it using your device.

But those who have a booster also have to have a pre-boarding test. Just not at the port.

I'd put Astra Zeneca and the date of the 2nd shot. Boosters aren't required, so I'd provide just the info for the 2-dose round which is required.

Ah ha. Got it. I haven't seen any posts with feedback regarding the under 5 set from people who have actually sailed with young children, which makes me think either 1) no one has had anything to complain about [given the numerous complaints being posted lately] or 2) so few people are sailing with under 5s that not much info is available.

To answer your actual question, country-specific requirements are here: https://www.celebritycruises.com/healthy-at-sea/travel The U.S. requirements (separate from Alaska and Hawaii for some reason) state the following for unvaccinated guests: Unvaccinated guests will be required to bring a negative PCR test conducted within three days of boarding. These guests will be given an additional COVID-19 Antigen test at the terminal prior to embarkation and on the day before disembarkation. The CDC has advised unvaccinated guests cannot be tested twice in one day as it may affect the accuracy of the test results, therefore the COVID-19 PCR test required before arriving at the terminal cannot be taken on boarding day. A registration link for required onsite testing at the terminal will be emailed separately. Re: masking While onboard, masks are optional but highly recommended for unvaccinated guests.

Looks like the airport might be your best bet. https://www.veneziaairport.it/en/info-and-assistance/swab-test-covid-19.html

Maybe I'm not understanding your question. Why not . . . make a testing appointment for the day before you sail?

People keep repeating this canard about no fresh air on planes. It's not true. From a National Geographic article (Becker works for Lufthansa): "About 40 percent of a cabin's air gets filtered through this HEPA system; the remaining 60 percent is fresh and piped in from outside the plane." “Cabin air is completely changed every three minutes, on average, while the aircraft is cruising,” says Becker.

Needing to remove the mask to eat and drink.

This article says QM2 is affected. https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/a-carnival-cruise-line-cuts-passenger-capacity/ar-AAXcxUa?ocid=BingHp01&cvid=88edf331dd9a4aebc453e6e8ff23a037
