I'm actually doing Symphony and then MSC Seashore... Same ship both times, and free. They MIGHT do it for you moving to another ship, but they will most likely charge you for it. I have no idea how much they would charge. Best to do a proctored video appointment with a test kit (I use BinaxNOW). Buy one day of Surf and Stream wifi, go to a quiet place on the ship with good reception, and do the test. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have the Binax tests. Will most likely buy a day...or just upgrade for the last 2 days. However, first I will try with just the surf. The video seems pretty low bandwidth so it will be interesting to see if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare alyssamma Posted April 21, 2022 Author #28 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Well, thank God I upgraded to stream. Even with that the internet is painfully slow. I am technically able to stream (did some Amazon and YTTV shows) without buffering but the video quality is low. Anyway, my wife did her test without problems. My test cut off while taking but then reconnected. The protor's voice also cut off several times during the test for me. But overall it worked and we both tested negative. Also, FYI, they charged me $5 per day to upgrade. It was very easy to do. I had to go to a little booth right by guest services in front of the elevators.

librarylady19 Posted April 28, 2022 #29 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Thanks for reporting your experiences. We have our big ax telemed tests for a Vision 6/10 return and will follow advice to upgrade Internet. Have to take test on a sea day unfortunately. If this doesn’t work out due to technical issues (ie crappy WIFI) can we pay for tests through the ship’s Medical Center? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would advise to call them to be certain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
