Laurie McCowan Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Can I take an at home COVID test 2 days prior to my cruise on November 28, 2021? I am vaccinated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithG Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Yes We've been on a couple cruises since the restart including one this month from Galveston. You only need one test, taken within the 2 days prior. For example, if you sail on Saturday you can take the test anytime Thursday, Friday or Saturday as long as the results are back in time. We did the at home tests, took 20 minutes, very simple. I think the link is on the Carnival website under their safety protocols. The test kits are Abbott BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card Home Test. You log on to the site at the time you want to do the test and they guide you through it while monitoring through video then send you the results which you show at boarding along with your vaccine card.

Jcar Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I’m departing on Princess this week how did the embarkation progress for your recent Carnival trips? Was it like in the past or was there lengthy lines, etc. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithG Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Nope, no lines really, you have a time you are allowed to show up and you can't enter the terminal prior to that time. So not really any waiting in line. It was really pretty efficient. It seems to me that they have more people working to process you now.

Edie Jou Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 We are departing on the Carnival Breeze on December 27. I ordered the Binax Covid tests but am wondering if the telehealth visits will be available on the 25th which is Christmas Day or even the next day Sunday.

Carolyn Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 How long before you get your COVID result. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithG Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 For the Abbott BinaxNOW that we've taken it takes about 20 minutes for the test (which includes 15 minutes of waiting) and the results were sent immediately by email and to the Navica app that they use. To be clear, this is the at home BUT video monitored test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kim za Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I will be on Carnival Glory in New Orlearns, LA on Sunday. When is the earliest I can test Thursday or Friday? I have seen you can test Thursday if your cruise leaves on Saturday but can't find anything when your cruise leaves on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnation2 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I read that you can take Walgreens Rapid ID Now test and get results within 24 hours. Just trying to get confirmation about that. Carnival Cruise departs March 6. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
