Bill Johnson Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 Hey There! So I am cruising on Harmony in September and I wanted to know how to go about doing the covid test before the cruise. I would like to purchase the covid test that I heard we can order and it gets sent to me so that I can take the test. How does this process work? Where do I go online to order the test and how do I setup to do it online in front of someone? I am just wondering how the process works so that I can be ready. Did Matt do a video about this?? Thank You!! Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCSC Mike Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 Be aware there are other options. For example, if you have any free government tests lying around, you can just use those and pay a 3rd party site like RapidTestAndTrace or On-Point to proctor your test for $15-20/person.

Well except for how he pilots the ship. Or how to win a million dollars at the casino. Or how to eat too much and still lose weight on a cruise. But just about everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyLady Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 We went to the drive through at Walgreen's for our cruise Covid test and with our insurance the experience was free. Results were available in two hours, and we were ready to go. Please be aware that Covid requirements could possibly change by September. Some cruise lines are already eliminating the requirement to review your results! All of this will make it easier for the traveler, although it may not be safer health-wise...

Bill Johnson Posted July 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 Interesting! So, my brother was given the exact same Abbott BinaxNow boxes of Covid test from his bout with Covid. Am I right to assume that we could create the account with the proctor site and just use these tests at home without paying for them to send us tests? (presuming they haven't expired, of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We contacted Walgreens about getting our COVID test before our trip in August. They told us that they will bill our insurance and if we were not experiencing symptoms that tests for travel were not covered. We would then need to pay $125 out of pocket. How did you get around that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
