EJK Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Hi All, We sail away on our long awaited 9 night Bermuda/Bahamas cruise in just 9 days!! The last time we cruised, we did a rapid test in one of those booths at CVS and got our results emailed within an hour or two - quick and easy. Now, Bermuda requires the PCR/NAAT test which takes 1-2 days for results to come in or a "supervised" antigen test. I already booked our PCR tests, but I hate to wait 1-2 days for results, especially since the test is 2 days before embarkation. CVS also offers the appointments for rapid antigen tests with a MinuteClinic provider, with results ready during appointment. I'd rather do that one and get results right away but is this acceptable? Here's a screen shot of the acceptable tests from the Bermuda travel authorization: and here's the test description from CVS: what concerns me is that is says "not accepted for all travel" Any advice from anyone who has been to Bermuda recently? Thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Ignore the "not accepted for all travel" message. That's there for places that require a PCR test only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm thinking I was reading too much into the "supervised antigen test" requirement, really that is no different than the rapid antigen or rapid pcr, as long as it's not self-administered. Right? I'm over thinking it and getting nervous about getting the wrong test and jeopardizing our cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be some 3rd party witnessing the test to give you the print out needed a proof. EJK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
