Where on Celebrity site can you order the home test kits?

Not from the website, but we ordered from here for our recent cruise.

Yep, ordered my 2-pack from this link and it arrived 3 days later, Monday to Thursday.

Celebrity has their own branded URL, but it's the same thing as Optum.

Are these the same as the ones sold by Walgreens?

No, the ones sold by Walgreens, at least in our area, are not the HOME TEST kit that is monitored by a telehealth company.  If you get the ones at Walgreens you still have to have a professional monitor it and provide written, and not hand written, results.  Better to order the kits through Celebrity.

Do you have to use the proctored kits? Are the Walgreens or CVS swabs not acceptable?

Yes.  No one will take your word for the results!

Thanks, Canderson. I would have assumed that the pharmacy swab came with some sort of documentation; but I guess not.

If it were to be administered and documented by the pharmacy, that's a different story.  Is that what you meant?

[HannaRay]

Canderson, yes, that's what I thought. Very new to the process. I'm a hermit and have yet to be tested. So I just assumed the results came with proof/paperwork.

We got the Rapid Antigen test at CVS Minute Clinic and the results were available to be printed within about an hour.

 

The confusion is with the home kits.  CVS sells an Abbot test which you can just take home and take on your own.  This is not acceptable for Celebrity.   Many are using the proctored home tests listed above.   You order the tests online then you go to a website on your phone or computer (with camera) and a proctor will come on and instruct you to open the kit and how to swab etc.  After the 15 minute wait time they will come on again and verify the results and enter into the system where you can then print the report.

I have ordered the 3 kit option from the Celebrity site as a backup to CVS. I appreciate all the response's to my question.
