Baked Alaska Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 The Abbott BinaxNOW™ COVID-19 Antigen Card Home Test with eMed Telehealth Services - 3 Pack for Royal Caribbean says that they have added another 3 months to the expiration date. Right below it says the test could expire as soon as December 21, 2021. Does that mean it may expire as soon as December 21, 2021 or March 21, 2021?

PG Cruiser Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 From what I've read. They are marked to expire in September. The extension puts the expiration date to December 2021. I also called eMed about this because I wanted to buy a six-pack to use for my booked cruises all the way to the Wonder Inaugural in March 2022. I was told I could not use the tests after December 2021. Baked Alaska 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Yes, add 3 months to the date on the box for all current batches (per emails from the distributor and manufacturer). If your box is marked 9/1/21, for example, the new expiration would be 12/1/21.

PRebecca Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 Somewhere someone posted a photo of the right test to purchase for cruising. I must stink at searching because I can't find it. I have this one, and am hoping we got the right ones. Anyone able to kindly verify or point me in the right direction? I know it's been discussed to death, sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 Those should be the right test, just make sure they are unopened. PRebecca 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should also be a QR code to download the Navica App. KristiZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should have an 'Rx' (prescription) on the lower left and a warning 'Do not open until instructed' on the outside. I could be wrong, but this may not be the Proctor-monitored test required for cruising. emmef 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Royal Caribbean Cruises it has to be the test that you call in over a conference call and do the test over the video call so they can prove you were the one who took the test.

PRebecca Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 Apologies I wasn't sure if Matt's Q was directed at me or the OP- I purchased them online from the E-Med folks, I do have the sleeve and the QR code to download the app. Thanks all, I knew the answer was out there and sorry I missed it.
