There's no right or wrong answer on which site to use to order from.

I second this sentiment.    With CVS testing going away, it seems to me that these proctored tests are going to be the more convenient option going forward.  My goal is to have enough tests on hand for every testing event to cover any error/issues.  My goal is also to have none left over when testing goes away (whenever that is). 

I am personally planning to have 3 kits for available for two people every time we test.

Which would you order through?  Also, how many tests for two passengers?  I keep reading that you should order extra, but seems is a 2pack or 3 pack or emed of 6.

Thanks!

If you haven't purchased any test kits yet, I'd just use the "free" test kits that you can get from the government:  https://www.covid.gov/tests, they have the "telehealth" rapid test option.  And it has been verified by members of this "forum" that they are acceptable for use with Royal.

Only problem with this option is that you can't select what kind of test you will receive, so you might get one that does not have the proctor option. Also, the proctoring costs $20 each, so not free.

True.  I've heard that that is happening.  But, I THINK that the ihealth/telehealth kits are the most prevalent now.  It's worth a try, they are "free".  I mean, we all have already paid for them.

Opps, yes.  I had that in my original post but I edited it and I guess I took that out by mistake.  

The Abbott test cost +/- $70.00 for two.  So, the government one is a better deal in the long run, if you get the right one.
