Denied. No vaccination. Wrong test?

Appreciate your feedback. Not sure you can get a refund for poor boarding since you actually sailed. Confusing situation.

From your review, it looks like you had a good time minus your daughter

My guess is that the daughter was not vaccinated so she would need the PCR type Covid test but only had the Rapid test that vaccinated guests can use. The PCR test is more accurate so that is a little added assurance that the unvaccinated don't bring covid on board.
