COVID Several Weeks Before Cruise

[Kymberlyfarr]

So, I have tried to find this info on RCCL's website with no luck. 

 

If you test positive for covid and complete the required quarantine period (and have no symptoms obviously) week(s) before your cruise, will RCCL let you board if you are still testing positive well after as long as you have proof you tested positive well before?

 

And before anyone asks, no...I am not currently positive. I am just looking to be totally prepared in the event something happens between now and our cruise in early Feb. If it even happens...

You must without any exceptions be able to provide a negative antigen test to board.

A negative test is required to board.

@Ourusualbeach Yeah, that was what I was assuming based on my inability to find any info on the subject. Thanks!

The good news is that the antigen tests are not very sensitive and most people test negative very soon after recovering from covid.

You’d be very unlucky to still be positive after 10 days if you use an antigen test. In fact probably 7 days or even less.
