BinaxNOW self vs home

[hillbilly cruiser]

Are the home test and the self test the same thing?

Will Carnival accept either?

The are not the same one is proctored and one is not.

 

Only the proctored one is accepted by Carnival.

 

You want the Abbott BinaxNOW Home Test

Does anyone know if we can schedule a proctor if we already have a binex home test?

The proctored test that you can use for cruising is labeled "home test".  The do-it-yourself test is labeled "self test".

 

The proctoring is already included in the price of the home test.  If you have a self test you can't schedule proctoring because (1) you haven't paid for that service and (2) the self test isn't licensed/authorized for that purpose.

No scheduling, you just open your session when you’re ready to test. They are open 24/7

Thanks to all.

Had the wrong ones and canceled before they were sent and ordered others.

Just ordered the proctored tests today for a sailing a the beginning of October.  Has anyone had any issues with them coming back inconclusive?  An article I read mentioned ordering extras incase one comes back inconclusive.  I did not do that because I didn't want to spend the extra money needlessly.  But if its common to have an inconclusive result, I might order a couple of back ups.  

 

Also ordering the tests prompted me to look at my vaccination card and my name had been miswritten.  A quick trip back to the pharmacy got that fixed, but while there I noticed my son's name was also misspelled.  I'm so happy I caught that before our trip!
