Johnny Johns Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 It appears that for pre-cruise testing, Royal Caribbean is recommending eMed Tests Kits are the best option. I'm cruising from Venice in August and will be traveling within Italy for the few days before our cruising. I'd like to hear peoples' experience with these eMed tests? Easy? Could this be just done on the day of cruising while we are waiting to board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will need to test again from the ship in Europe when he disembarks next week, but he purchased VOOM to facilitate the transaction. We will be testing ourselves in Barcelona later this fall as we intend to arrive early, like you. The fall back plan would be local test sites. You can Google now if you want to identify alternate test sites. PS. I would do it before you go to the port, perhaps the day before?!

Results are emailed and loaded into the app within a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The test is easy to do, and results are in your email very quickly. I typically buy them from the Emed store, and not from RC, they are more cost effective right from emed.

As has been said, all you need is an internet connection and something to prop your phone/tablet up against as the proctor needs to see you taking the test - but around 25 minutes total from start to results on your phone/email. I won't do testing any other way. The convenience is well worth the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
