SKSMIKE5 Posted May 3, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 3, 2022 We are going to Alaska on Quantum of the Seas in June and I've ordered the eMed Covid Proctored tests for my husband and I and my parents. The eMed site said everyone has to have their own eMed account, so I set those up (each with it's own email address). Then I was asking the eMed adviser a question about results and he said we had to download the Navica app because that is where eMed sends the test results along with a QR code. When I said I thought they emailed us he results he said they do email an eMed Lab Report via PDF. My question is, will RCCL accept the eMed Lab report or do I need to download the Navica app in order to show RCCL the QR code? Thanks much!

njkruzer Posted May 3, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 3, 2022 We always print out the results from the email. I have the app but assume phone work when entering the terminal. Also easier to just hand all your documents to checkin at once. Enjoy your trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKSMIKE5 Posted May 3, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Thank you both for the quick replies! I thought I understood that the lab report via email was acceptable but the eMed guy confused me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artvlay Posted May 3, 2022 #6 Share Posted May 3, 2022 If we are traveling in Europe prior to the cruise, will I be connected to an English speaking emed agent? Do you do it via a cellphone or laptop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasukkie Posted May 3, 2022 #7 Share Posted May 3, 2022 No need to print if that's difficult for you. I don't bother anymore. Very easy to save the result from the email to your phone and show for boarding. If you save the file you don't need to worry about internet connection at the port. I do the same with my proof of vaccine. Since your setsail pass is in the app now too it's a really fast process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare brillohead Posted May 3, 2022 #8 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I prefer printed test results and SetSail Pass... much easier than flipping through phone screens, waiting for apps to load, etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks much! eMed will email you the results within seconds of the proctor verifying a negative test. If it is more than 1 or 2 people in your group, print everything out. The "silliest" people are the families standing at the checkpoint with Dad frantically trying to log on to a family's worth of test results, then a family's worth of vaccination records, and a family's worth of sea passes on a tiny phone. While dad struggles, the rest of us flash our hard copy and walk on by. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree....We just took our extended family of 6 and having the hard copies of everything we needed made it very quick and easy to board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did still bring the card with me as a backup but I really like the streamlined process of having everything on my phone without risking dropping it or losing it in the shuffle of getting onboard.

At same time my Daughter, SIL, Grand Daughter and I all had our own Cell was lot easier, took seconds. Prefer Paper in hand Back ups but flying in 2 Days before Cruise did my online CV Test at the Hotel. Funny thing was I was listening to my Daughter walk me through the steps and not the Proctor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
