Testing before cruise

[Dar Dar]

Please explain covid testing before cruise . From what I understand you can take a ppr test 90 days before we sail out ? How many days before we cruise do we have to have a test . We are both fully vacanated

Our transatlantic cruise on Apr 29 says we must be treated within 24 hours of cruising.

Here are the current guidelines on timing for testing by Royal as found at https://www.royalcaribbean.com/the-healthy-sail-center/getting-ready-to-cruise . This webpage should be checked at least 1 month prior to departure and again closer to your sailing (1-2 weeks depending on test scheduling in your area) for any changes or updates.

All Guests: Required Pre-Cruise Testing

Before arriving on boarding day, you’ll need to take a COVID-19 test on your own, at your own expense, to meet boarding requirements in line with U.S. CDC guidance.

• Vaccinated guests must show a negative result for a PCR or antigen test taken no more than 2 days before boarding day. Kids age 5 to 11 who have been vaccinated may present proof of full vaccination and follow the testing protocols for vaccinated guests.
• Unvaccinated kids age 2 to 11 must show a negative test result for a PCR test (not antigen) taken no more than 3 days before boarding day.
• Unvaccinated kids' pre-cruise test cannot be taken on boarding day, because that may affect the sample taken during the kids' test at the terminal.
• Guests under 2 years of age do not need to complete a pre-cruise test.
