spursfreak21 Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Hello all. I’m scheduled to sail this coming Monday. This morning my wife and I both attempted to take our emed tests. Hers was fine and negative. Mine was invalid. So I went out trying to find somewhere else to test. Walgreens and cvs had no appointments. I found a place doing rapid PCRs. They sent me the results but there’s a line on the results page for a signature but it’s blank! They did put a Dr.s name next to “provider” on the form and the labs info is on it (which I obstructed with a post it note). Will I be ok? All my Info is on it. See attached picture.

Jennifer Burke Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 I din't think the signature will matter. It would be an esignature anyway. To be sure, I would call E-Med and ask them if it was missed or nobody gets a signature. I would like to know myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursfreak21 Posted September 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 So this is not the emed one. The emed one doesn’t have any signatures at all. But this one is from a lab I found because my emed one was invalid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirasa Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 I'd suggest you call Royal and confirm. There's a thread here i read where someone listed the capacity for Symphony for the past few weeks and it appears Royal does turn around quite a few people every sailing due to improper vaccine/covid test paperwork.

Matt Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Can you call the place you got the test back to get it signed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurdueFlyer Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 I'm still confused because I can't find anywhere in Royal's own documentation that says a signature is required. Here's what the "updated sailing checklist" email says, which I received 2 days ago for my sailing tomorrow: Your To-Do ListGet tested pre-cruise:All guests 2 years and older must present a negative COVID-19 test result (PCR or antigen) in order to sail. Guests 2 - 11 years old: test must be taken no more than 3 days prior to sailing — but not on departure day. Guests 12 and older: test must be taken no more than 2 days prior to your sailing's departure date. Proper documentation like, printed negative test results or negative test results presented on your phone from an accredited laboratory (no doctor's notes) are required to sail. All costs for this test are the guest's responsibility and must be done on their own, not at the terminal it doesn't state that the documentation is invalid if it's not signed. I have a printed version and screenshot version from a local CVS. there's a space for "provider" and a space for "collection location" which are both filled in. there is no signature. I cant be the only American who got an antigen test at CVS on this ship, right? I think the confusion is coming from folks who have test results with a signature field and then don't have an actual signature. but again, I can't see how not having one invalidates the test.

The Fox Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 17 hours ago, spursfreak21 said: Mine was invalid. So I went out trying to find somewhere else to test. That situation is what I fear when we take our tests. Is it possible to order the ones from Emed or Optum, then have the same test (purchased at a store) so if you happen to drop the test or make it invalid, you can substitute the store bought one?

SpeedNoodles Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 As long as the one you buy at the store is the exact same Binax test that's proctored. You can't just take the at-home tests that aren't supervised. emmef 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
