NJ sucks! NC or SC are are targets for retirement and maybe here's another reason😄

Understood and agreed... my concern was if I can't get the WRITTEN RESULTS because they defaulted on the appt. That JJCRUISE and MYHaro and others on Youtube I assume are but one SM out there.

Let me close this as I am feeling more like one-against-the-world a bit. If a contract is formed, (and a booking is absolutely a contract) remedies, or lack thereof, for defaults by either party must by law be clearly defined and understood or provided to a requesting party in a timely and effective manner. That's not me speaking.... by a Justice in the US Supreme Court.

... and I appreciate it. Knowing my DW I probably will consider a PLAN B as a possible 'sunk cost' regardless but still wish I could get a straight answer from RCL.

I did when I booked... too many facts, not posts, have arisen since that worries me and that led me to ask a simple what if.

Any Attorney will tell you, if your planning a Lawsuit, you don't publicize it BEFORE you file it. All I want is to know... what if? I don't think you know how many lawsuits are pending out there with Cruise Companies and how long they take to resolve. My simple $5k for the cruise and 1.5k supplements wouldn't even justify small claims!

Not 'go out of business' but default on the appt. eMed appears to be defined as the 'GOLD' standard but you might want to view the Court pendings and the BBB when ever judging a company.

Really, I was just told there were no cancellations from the NJ Walgreens... your charged regardless and the fee now for a TRAVEL precovid was one of the highest?

Read the fine print.... Yes emed is accepted, almost any Online Proctor service IS accepted by RCL. BUT RCL does not accept an liability connected to emed, as if they default, RCL does NOT respond.

That is something too I have to research as Plan B.

I see some of you, veteran cruiser too, think I am paranoid or 'not trusting those around me' but you obviously do not have access to what 'legal actions' are going on across the country about situations of default by online Covid Test Proctors! Many people have reported no problems but.... you do not hear about the many that do as they are instructed by their legal counsel NOT to post. Again, at an absolute minimum, I do not understand why I can't get a qualified answer as to a set of fully defined variables.... try to test, try to find alternative within 48 hour window, couldn't, denied access to ship.... what happens? If the 'qualified answer is you loose all your money then either I have to have a 'rock-solid' Plan B or Cancel now, as was suggested. Cost of alternative is again a concern BUT not the main concern... probability of alternative IS.

Unfortunately, emed would not be able to respond within the less-than-48 window so either I buy it ahead of time (i.e. pay for two services and hope one comes thru) or hope the first one comes thru. Again, just want to know from RCL what IF?

Have handled toooo many suits where it was not a case of Over-thinking but NOT preparing. All I want is a firm answer of what happens if?

On the RCL sight it said a Friday Sailing (8/5) the test could NOT be done prior to Wednesday. My Online Proctored test is scheduled for the first available time on Wednesday 8am (wife and I) and Boys (2) at 8:30am. If the service DEFAULTS.... that where my clock starts for PLAN B.

Thanks and that is what the tester told my friend who was at Bayonne. Or more accurately they said, 'chance in hell of same day as we have too many kids'. At this point, CVS didn't seem to have same day available and neither did walgreen... maybe I should ask my Doc if he would watch me take the Rapid test and givce me the proper docs (at least as Plan B)?

Thats what it appears, based on litigation pending, has happened? If that risk is there, again hopefully small PROBABILITY but SIGNIFICANT IMPACT, I cancel now! I just need to get a qualified answer from RCL?

Close but not exactly.... You are right, I am not referencing a POSITIVE test but rather the inability of a customer to get a PROCTORED test within the less than 48 hours remaining before the cruise (as a default by the online Proctoring service would cause). I talked to my TA and they said call RCL. I just finished with a merry go round with RCL (three switches) where that said I had tyo go BACK to my TA to find out the financial remedies of such a situation (in other words, they could not confirm a refund/FCC/or SOL?

Sorry if I did'nt present it correctly.... My concern had nothing to do with testing positive. If I, or a member of my family, test POSITIVE I know, and understand, that I would not be allowed on board and refunds/FCC are addressed outside of CWC. My question was, since recently there appears to have been a flurry of litigation having to do with 'defaults' by online Proctoring services... what happens if that service defaults and no other testing options are available within the less than 48 hour window, as at THAT POINT... you can't cancel anymore with the CWC Program?

Cruise with Confidence & COVID Pre-travel Testing Trying to figure something out…. Based on some random legal postings of pending legal actions RCL MANDATES that you have a ‘Proctored Covid Test’ within 48 hours BEFORE Cruise. ‘Cruise with Confidence’ program MANDATES that you CANCEL BEFORE 48 hours BEFORE the Cruise in order to get Future Cruise Credit (NOT A REFUND). What happens then if your PLAN A (Online Proctor Service) does not meet their obligations and no local options are available in the next ‘less than’ 48 hours? At the point you find out there is a problem... you are already past the notification threshold for the ‘Cruise with Confidence’ program?

That's one way to look at it....

As the movie goes....NOPE!

Can't help there.... any Steve Cook or Steve Job relatives out there listening?

So again... how about Air Tag Talk

Now there's a new ap I could make... Air Tag Talk! Do u think Apple would be upset if use part of their name?

thanks... your right! Maybe I should just go ahead and win the megaball so I can afford Internet?
