Inquiring minds want to know. Would you give us a hint for the cruise news website where you gleaned your info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is noted in the article: As earlier reported, cruise lines with ships operating from Florida are continuing to voluntarily comply with the CSO, which remains a requirement in other states. I can't see Royal changing to two days prior to barding, it is hard enough to get tested and have results back within three days.

FPP777 Posted August 30, 2021 #160 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I think I got this. Please confirm. 1. 4 adults traveling 2. Purchase 6 pack from emed. 3. 4 adults each download and set up Navica App on own phone. 4. Each person contacts the health proctor separately with a sealed test. 5. Results sent to the individual. That leaves 2 spares if there are issues. Done. Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharktums Posted August 30, 2021 #162 Share Posted August 30, 2021 ^&^^ Yeah, you'll need an extra pack. I bought the six pack and was only given three names allowed total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I understand correctly, if I have a Sunday sailing and live in east coast, I can actually rest on Wed 8pm And will get a Thursday stamp to satisfied the “3 days” requirement ?

They won’t be first choice. I emailed emed. As long as any individual has an Navica app, they can use any one of the tests in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if it was still Wednesday in the time zone the ship departs from and the check-in agent is astute enough to realize that. But the latter is stretch.

The hours and time zones do not matter. They go by calendar days. If your cruise leaves on Saturday, then get your test any time on Wednesday. Here's an excellent video that explains everything...

alexgtp Posted August 30, 2021 #173 Share Posted August 30, 2021 ok rather strange occurrence. I purchased the eMED package of 6 with FedEX shipping. I hit submit to purchase and it said this package requires a prescription and something about 24 hours yadda yadda etc etc. Well today I checked my email for tracking info and saw none, So I logged into eMED store and saw I had no pending orders and my CC had never been charged. So does this mean I was not eligible to purchase this since it is by prescription only and was denied? I will probably try again later this week so I am home to get package.
