Mullwi Posted January 23, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Hi all, I was holding to purchase tests to make sure we were going on 2/5 trip. We are 🙂. ( I know bad decision so you don’t have to tell me LOL). Optum has been out of stock for several days and says back after 1/25. I decided to buy the six pack on emed even though it is just my husband and me. I figured I could let one of my adult kids use the extras for a cruise at some point. however, you have to put names, DOB… for testers in. I put my husband’s and my names, but it requires a third name before proceeding. Anyone have that happen? also, I have seen a few people report they have had to go back to add middle name to first name box at testing to match passport, but in don’t want to risk messing up now since box specifically says first name. Has anyone done recently and found that? Thanks for your advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAlovestotravel Posted January 23, 2022 #2 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I have been able to order the 6 pack for just 2, hubs and myself. Never had to enter a third person. The option was there but I just left it blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micruiser2002 Posted January 23, 2022 #3 Share Posted January 23, 2022 You do not need to worry about the names until you actually register on the Emed website or the Navica app. When you are ordering it doesn't matter what you put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micruiser2002 Posted January 23, 2022 #4 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Just select the option that you are buying for yourself. I do not even know why they ask this question or for this info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcur Posted January 23, 2022 #11 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) The expiration dates, according to the Optum customer service person I talked to a few weeks ago, are November/December 2022. I called to make sure they would cover all my cruise and family travel dates. I then ordered 8 for myself, and they expire 11/15/22.

Rare orville99 Posted January 23, 2022 #13 Share Posted January 23, 2022 My best (and totally unscientific) guess is that by April of this year testing will no longer be required pre-cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mullwi Posted January 23, 2022 Author #16 Share Posted January 23, 2022 UGH, I ordered the e-med six pack. I went through whole process and entered my credit card and everything seemed fine, but them got time out error. I redid, but the second time the order took, it said prescription required and emed coordinator would have to review so status says open - pending. I’m almost certain I clicked for cruise travel. Has that happened to anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has that happened to anyone? That is a standard message. You should soon get an email saying all approved and ready. My approval email both times came like 5 minutes after the order confirmation email. Edited January 23, 2022 by micruiser2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great 2 B at Sea Posted January 23, 2022 #20 Share Posted January 23, 2022 We ordered our Covid-19 test kits from Quest Diagnostics on Friday, and they are coming tomorrow. Just another place to consider ordering from, should you need to. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You either have to take a test at a pharmacy or Dr. office where someone watches you or you have to do an at home test with a video observation while you are doing the test.

It looks like they are the same tests as Optum/Emed since they refer to Emed and Navica. Edited January 23, 2022 by micruiser2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
