mike2608 Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 I have 2 covid home tests that I received from the VA Health Dept { iHealth Covid-19 Antigen Rapid Test }. Can these be used towards the cruise I am taking Symphony Feb 25th 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCVoyager Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 I don't think so, unless you take them to your doctor or other CLIA certified provider. When we made our appointments to get the test for our trip, there was question as to availability. I made our at home tests available to our doctor. In the end, they had plenty.

Riley Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 No. The only accepted at-home tests are video proctored ones. RC will not accept a test not overseen by a healthcare professional. NOTE: by the time you're cruising in 2023 the rules may have changed... KristiZ and ChessE4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emed.com sells proctored tests (as does Royal Caribbean-same test). they are supervised from start to finish and those results are accepted. I do not believe the iHealth Covid-19 Antigen Rapid test fall into that category. ChessE4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
