CARNIVAL Corporation will provide access to pre-boarding testing (pictured), allowing American guests to schedule an appointment for a COVID-19 test from Quest Diagnostics locations across the United States.
Guests of Carnival Cruise Line, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises and Seabourn Cruise Line will be able to access a COVID-19 test at more than 1,500 patient service centres and retail pharmacy testing locations, including Walmart, throughout the United States.
Appointments are required and may be scheduled online via a secure link provided by the guest’s cruise line.
Results are typically available within 48 hours via email or a mobile application.
The program helps streamline pre-cruise preparation for Carnival Corp’s guests, who beginning today must all present a negative COVID-19 test taken no more than three days before their embarkation, among additional health & safety requirements.
Testing is one of the measures recently implemented by Carnival Corp’s lines, which have been operating with enhanced health and safety protocols designed to change as needed to adapt to the public health environment.
