TXcruzer Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 There was a post last week of a user that was going to do the proctored version of the free government issued covid tests for boarding. They said they would report back after boarding this past weekend, but I can not find the post. Anyone try? Anyone hear success or denials on this test?

But, I don't remember who it was either. I embark in 38 days and plan on doing both, the Abbott and the Government one. I will present the government one first, if it is acceptable, I'll leave it like that. If they don't accept the government one, I'll present the Abbott test. We'll see. Now, if someone does use the government test and provides the info., we'll all know! PPPJJ-GCVAB, whitsmom and Debsters41 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent I am thinking of doing one in my spare time, just to compare the report given to my prior E-Med reports and see if they contain all the pertinent information It will be good to have your real world experience MTNeedsAVacay, whitsmom and PPPJJ-GCVAB 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debsters41 Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 I just bumped the thread where a poster named Brandon said he was going to use the proctored iHealth test. He is most likely on his cruise now and hopefully will report back when he returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texascruiser Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 Would like to know also if he/anyone else had success with using iHealth tests. We have quite a few as we stocked up in January, would be much easier to use them and just buy the proctored test service.

MTNeedsAVacay Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 Any chance @Matt/RCBlog can fund a test run of a proctored I-Health test to compare the test report with what comes from the Emed test? All in the name of cruise research! luiiismdo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hharris1997 Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 question/advice: Leave US 8 am 6/1/22, land in Rome 6/2/22 at 9am then head to ship for boarding. Any advice on when to do my proctored I-health test so i am within 24 hours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scope944 Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Boarded Odyssey this morning at Port Everglades- all four of my family used the iHealth proctored test. Showed the negative result image file provided by iHealth and had no issues getting on board. They didn’t scan the QR code or anything, just looked at our phone screenshots. Hope this helps everybody considering using this test as we weren’t 100% sure if it would be accepted.

scope944 Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Glad my experience could help. We had stressed about it Thursday night and ultimately decided to just try it out. No guarantees for everyone else of course but it’s a positive data point. As a proctored, government issued, and CDC approved test it seemed silly if they wouldn’t accept it. Hope everyone has great trips ahead Paul Debsters41 and Moby Dick 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
