Are Covid tests available on board?

Does anyone know if there are Covid tests available on board, in case we develop symptoms? Trying to determine if I need to pack some. Do they cost a million bucks?

I would guess, they might have tests onboard, in the medical center. And they would cost in that event.

Yeah, thinking about it, I might as well pack some. They're pretty small.

I sincerely hope you don’t need them!

I sincerely hope you don’t need them!

Thanks. Me too!

Definitely pack them if you want them, rather than paying probably-inflated medical center prices for them.

I think if you test positive, they don't make you pay for the test. However, they may want you to quarantine. That was the procedure for us summer 2022, but it could be completely different now. If you test negative, they made you pay last year.

I always take my own. Yes, I’ve used them more than once. I did end up with rsv after my November cruise, so tested just in case, similar symptoms.
