Creator's Key Takeaways

i would not rely on a home test to get me on a cruise ship i will only rely on tests done by a third party not myself

the cruise lines should have backups in place for those people whose tests don't if you can show up at the cruise sport and say look i took my test three days ago it hasn't arrived yet what do i do

they couldn't have made an arrangement with a local medical center to send people close by over to get a test in time for their crews they couldn't have done that i think that's a big miss

i think maybe just maybe instead of three days maybe just go four and that would give people a little bit more time to get those things in there

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Do not rely on home tests; use third-party tests.
βœ“Fly in the day before your cruise to allow time for test results.
βœ“Cruise lines should have backup testing at ports for delayed results.
