It is approved by Princess. My wife and I had the rapid diagnostic (ID NOW) test done at our local Walgreens in October for our Mexican Riviera cruise on the Majestic Princess. No problem, Princess accepted it. Cheers - Ken & Darlene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LACruiser88 Posted December 16, 2021 #3 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Guests must be tested with a SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) viral test that could be either an antigen test or a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT). Antigen tests include: Rapid antigen test Viral antigen test Antigen Chromatographic Digital Immunoassay, Antigen Chemiluminescence Immunoassay, or Antigen Lateral Flow Fluorescence NAAT include: PCR - Polymerase chain reaction RT-PCR – reverse transcription real time PCR Quantitative PCR (qPCR) Reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) test Transcription-mediated amplification (TMA) test Molecular test or molecular diagnostic test Isothermal amplification Droplet Digital PCR or digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Walgreens describes the test, it doesn’t appear to be on “ the list”. Where are the OP and I going wrong?

On the list - molecular "The ID NOW COVID-19 test is a rapid, molecular point-of-care test that detects COVID-19 in 13 minutes or less.
