We have done this several times, and no problem with traffic, etc. Husband drops us and luggage off at the ship, returns the rental car, takes shuttle back to the ship - usually within 30-40 min. tops.

If testing positive the last day or two of a 7 night or longer cruise, or within a couple days of departure, it's caught while on the cruise (the ship, ports etc.). We mandatory tested on Aug. 4th for an 8 night cruise which began Aug. 6th. Departed ship Aug. 14, one in our party started not feeling great that day, tested positive on the 15th. I tested positive on the 16th. Several reports of this on our cruise FB page. Note: We (5 of us) spent a whole day flying to FL on Aug. 5th due to flight issues, were perfectly healthy until the dates mentioned. So the people always trying to blame the flights instead of the cruise should just stop. Truth is, no one knows where exactly they catch it. We have flown both domestic (3 trips) and internationally (1 trip) in the last year and a half and remained healthy.

How many cases do you suppose went unreported? Several I bet.

Sure did. Nothing.☹️

Thanks so much for the link!

Yes, thankfully we have time. I didn't know about RT&T, I will need to look into them.

We cruise on Allure Aug. 6th. Yesterday I purchased 3 tests and reserved a time with On-Point Testing. I did not receive the link they were supposed to email us. Their chat feature is currently unavailable, and when I called the phone number listed, that was unavailable also! Weird! I emailed them and am waiting for a reply. Has anyone else had this happen? Two other families that are sailing with us booked their appointments yesterday and received a link.

First of all, I wish you a speedy recovery. Just saying, there is absolutely no way you can pinpoint where you contracted Covid. My husband recently got Covid for the very first time. We, along with our adult son, took a 5.5 hour road trip overnight. We stayed in a hotel room, etc. Two days after getting home hubby started feeling crappy, and tested positive the next morning. Son and I never got it, even after 11 hours in the car together and hanging out up until hubby tested. It's a crazy thing. I would imagine your previous cruise sailed at much less capacity. 13 of us will be on the Allure in August, and the ship appears near capacity. Fingers crossed we will all remain healthy!
