Something I just learned yesterday...
I've heard how long (weeks, even months) that you can test positive after having had Covid. We all know you have to be tested, now within two days of your embarkation day. What if you had Covid 2 months ago, but still test positive?
The answer is to get tested when you have Covid, and SAVE the positive result. When you show up for the cruise, they will further evaluate you. Not sure if you'll cruise, but that's the procedure!

this week I got a VERY decent offer from Carnival on a Four Day out of Miami on the Conquest going to Cozumel and Key West at the end of March,.I usually don't do Four Day cruises as its too short but the offer was less than I pay for groceries for the week, it's my favorite ship and my favorite ports so................we goin.

Nope. I hear you have to download and app and do it as someone watches you live?

Yep. The ones I have are from emed. BINAX NOW AG. Optum sells them also. May be one or two others accepted by the cruise line. Cruise Critic message boards have tons of info at least the Celebrity/Royal boards. IF its the Navica app I think each of you will need an email address. PM me if you want. Youtube has some videos also.

Disney cruise?

I've done one back when my kids were kids. Disney is the best in a lot of ways.
Best dining service, I thought.
No casino doesn't affect me.
I still remember the waiter at breakfast saying "Wakey wakey, eggs and bacey!" as we got to the dining room!
Also the stateroom had 2 bathrooms, which was kinda awesome.

emeds fulfillment/ tracking is sketchy sometimes. You get the box before your account shows its shipped. Will be doing it Friday for the Sunday cruise. Have a CVS appointment on Sat also. Shouldnt need it. There have been problems with items missing etc. Not many. Have plenty of kits so I will cancel CVS today probably.

I've heard of people going to Wagreens with an appointment before their cruise, and the pharmacist was out sick, so no one could do the tests. Man, gotta do some scrambling then!
