    Greetings.  With the recent surge in COVID-omicron and the crazy race to be tested or buy tests, all test sites in my area are booked/sold out/unavailable for testing.  What happens if we are unable to get a test required to cruise?

    Same around here.  We bought the RCCL approved proctored at-home tests through their site.  They arrived in two days.  I would do that. 

  2. I had this identical situation and question.  I even sent attachments in emails that indicated (per CDC) FROM cruise line website links they provided, that a letter from a medical doctor, health department, etc., saying you have recovered should suffice.  I was told, even though that information was ON the cruise line website, that was not going to work.  I HAD to have a negative test.  I contacted the CDC (email and actual phone conversation) and was told that the cruise lines did NOT have to abide by CDC regulations - they were "guidelines."  True story.  Then why even post any of this on cruise line sites??  It turned into a ridiculous mess.  I have had COVID twice.  Once prior to available vaccines and once after both vaccines.  I also got a booster and an antibody test.  I tested positive on PCR (took five days for results) and then got a 24-hour test at the hospital the SAME DAY which came back negative.  I did that as I was told I should, since the other results would not be back in time.  This was for a cruise.  Sad story is we were unable to go....my husband tested positive on the hospital 24-hour test!  It is absurd.  Surely SOMEONE else besides us have run into this issue.  I would do an at-home test a few days prior to your actual time to really test to see what happens.  I was inadvertently around a bunch of people with COVID over Thanksgiving.  So now what??  We are supposed to go January 9th.  This all has to stop.  A virus mutates and won't go away, so we need to live life.....
