Disney Cruise Line Announces Post-Cruise COVID Testing Service
Disney Cruise Line has just announced that they will begin offering a post-cruise COVID-19 testing service! Plus, an additional announcement was made for a new pre-cruise testing site for guests sailing out of New Orleans.
Post-Cruise Testing Service for Guests Returning Home
Disney Cruise Line knows that many of their guests are required by their state or home country public health authorities to show proof of a negative COVID-19 antigen or PCR test result before returning home by air. In order to help make this process easier Inspire Diagnostics, Disney Cruise Line’s third-party testing provider, is offering this optional service starting next month for $98.33 per person for PCR testing, and $41.40 per person for antigen testing.
Please keep in mind that guests are responsible for knowing which type of test their home country/state requires (PCR or antigen), and the window of time in which it must be conducted. Testing will not be done aboard ship but rather is conveniently conducted at the terminal after guests disembark the ship. Make sure you plan accordingly as results take approximately 45 minutes to two hours, depending on the type of test.
As mentioned above, this service is available for cruises beginning on or after January 31, 2022. For more information and to book an appointment, visit the Safe Passage website. Information about this optional service will also be added on the Disney Cruise Line Know Before You Go website page.
New Orleans Pre-Cruise COVID Testing
Additionally, Guests sailing out of New Orleans can visit the InterContinental New Orleans, located at 444 St. Charles Avenue, to receive a PCR test. The site is open from noon-7 p.m. CST, one to three days prior to each sail date, for sailings beginning Jan. 30, 2022.
