DCL Testing

[sbuck93]

Hiya,

The test that DCL provide before you board, is it a PCR or LFT?

Thanks

I believe its a rapid PCR test but just curious why it matters?

Thanks. & because we have had Covid before so if it’s a PCR I’d be concerned it could still show positive.

It's definitely a PCR for unvaccinated guests and I'd assume they're using the same test for everyone, but it doesn't explicitly say for vaccinated.

It’s a rapid PCR but you can use a 90 day exemption with your positive test & a recovery letter.

The one we got from Newcastle it was LFT so they’ve changed it.

Yes it was LFTs on the Staycation cruises, at PC it’s rapid PCRs

To currently get on a Disney cruise everyone 5 and up has to be vaccinated and it’s a lateral flow test that’s done at port. Anyone 5 and under who cannot be vaccinated it’s a PCR test 3 days to 24 hours before boarding as well as a lateral flow at port. Hope this helps.

I really don't think it is an LFT. If you read this disneycruise.disney.go/w...kation-day-us/ it states that the Embarkation testing for non-vaccinated guests is the second PCR test they require before boarding. This definitely confirms that all those who aren't vaccinated get a rapid PCR test at the port and I really doubt they would be testing people differently as logistically this would be a nightmare. In the UK LFTs were used but not in the US

I’d your not vaccinated you can’t go on a Disney cruise currently so all testing would be the same.
