kdog3ss Posted March 14, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 14, 2022 A friend of mine says when he travels, he gets a 'Rapid NAAT Test' at Walgreens. Results available within 2 hours. There's a Walgreens very close to us. I can't find anywhere if this is acceptable for RCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Results available within 2 hours. There's a Walgreens very close to us. I can't find anywhere if this is acceptable for RCL. From their website Accepted Types of Tests and Results There are two common types of diagnostic COVID-19 tests A molecular test, also called a PCR test or NAAT test – our testing requirements call this a “PCR test” An antigen test, also called a rapid antigen test – our testing requirements call this an “antigen test" The test must be supervised by a health professional, such as a doctor, pharmacy technician, public health worker, or telehealth professional. Telehealth testing at home is only accepted for vaccinated guests, and only when it is conducted under live video supervision. Learn more about acceptable telehealth tests including our home test kit. You must receive a valid results document from your test provider that includes the name of the lab that processed the test, the lab’s CLIA Lab Number or Certification Number, the address of the lab, your name, the date the test was taken, type of test, and your negative result. This can be a printed document, email, or telehealth app notification. Fully handwritten doctor’s notes (such as those written on a prescription pad) will not be accepted. Minimal handwritten components (such as a check mark on a “negative” box) are acceptable as long as the other required information is printed on the document.

Waycoolrob Posted March 14, 2022 #6 Share Posted March 14, 2022 We have to have our test no more than two days out, so if I get my test on Wednesday morning and we check in to the ship on Friday afternoon, is that going to be to much of a time lapse? Don't mean to jump this thread but the title fits. Thank you Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two days before would mean anytime on Wednesday is fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted March 14, 2022 #9 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Yes, we are cruising on a Friday also. It specifically says on the Royal site that you do not count the day you board the ship. We plan to get a rapid antigen test from Walgreens on the Wednesday before our cruise.
