"ID NOW" Covid Test

[Ohio Bucki]

I am trying to verify if the "ID NOW" covid test available at Walgreens is accepted by Carnival.

 

Has anyone successfully used this test at embarkation?

As long as you’re vaccinated, ID Now is accepted.

I did the free PCR/NAAT test at CVS The results came back in less than 24 hours 3PM- 9AM the next day. CVS uses Minute Clinic.

Thanks for posting this question!  I wasn't sure if it was acceptable, either.

did your results list it as a NAAT test , Carnival reps seem to not know what Rapid Diagnostic Test is . so hoping the results say more than the wording Rapid Diagnostic Test

Dallas here by the way

Yep! Used it a few weeks ago to sail on the Miracle. Got my results e-mailed to me within an hour. PDF has all the info on it that Carnival requires.
