Thanks for the response! I was definitely thinking they can't verify every test, but know you're supposed to submit in the app the day before so wasn't sure. Honestly the only reason I even ask is because I have access to an unsupervised pcr test for free. Feels like a shame to pay for one.

Yes, thank you, but I know what it says there. However, when if talks about what the certificate must mention, the test being supervised is not one of the requirements. So how can they know? I've had it confirmed via Facebook that the certificate does not need to say the test was supervised. To my understanding the US doesn't really offer at home tests that are unproctored but provide certificates, and this is probably where the policy came from.

I 100% agree it's a risk. Hence why I'm asking here to see if anyone has done this. To my understanding the US doesn't really offer such tests (i.e. at home tests that are unproctored but provide certificates) and this is probably where the policy came from. I'd pay for Antigen without a second thought, but my university provides free PCR so it is annoying to have to pay

Yeah that is what I think. I've had confirmation from them (on Facebook) it doesn't have to say on the certificate that it was supervised. This is confirmed in their FAQs that specify what the certificate needs to have.

Hi! Sorry it took me so long to reply, I assumed I'd get notifications and then totally forgot I posted here. We were gonna arrive at 11:55pm from the UK with some checked luggage, but have actually decided to pay the extra cash and change flights to the day before to avoid stress. Appreciate you responding though

Hello all! First time cruiser here. Has anyone (from the UK specifically but anywhere else too) tried using a non-supervised test to get on the cruise? We're sailing out of Rome. Here's the thing, in the UK you can get an at-home PCR test that you do the swab unsupervised and then send to the lab to be tested. The results certificate you get has all the details required by RC, and most of them do not say if they were supervised or not. I was wondering if anyone has tried using these, as it seem they could technically be accepted.

Hello all! My family and I are going on Odyssey of the Seas in July. Being our first cruise, as you can imagine we are a bit stressed about the whole thing. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with landing at Ciampino and travelling from there to Civitavecchia. My main question is how long after landing should I book check in? I'm not sure how long it should take to leave the airport but know the drive by taxi can take anywhere from 1 to 1.5 hours. Thanks in advance!
