starbar36 Posted June 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Hi, we live in the UK and are going on a Mediterranean cruise on the Valiant Lady soon. We have been sent free lateral flow tests by Virgin Voyages. If anyone has done this, could you tell me if the tests are supervised (ie video call) or unsupervised. I had thought it was meant to be the former but looking at the app we have to download and the instructions in the email there is no mention of booking a video slot so maybe not? I'd be very grateful if anyone could let me know about their experience 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebeccac Posted June 26, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I don't have any direct experience with these particular tests, but here in the US, the supervised tests do not require any pre-booking. You just log in and are put in a queue for the next available proctor. So far, we have never had to wait more than a few minutes. Perhaps, your test is similar and does not require you to book an appointment for the video call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starbar36 Posted July 3, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I called the test provider nph - it seems that we just do the test ourselves without video supervision, it sounds like the previous fit to fly/day 2 tests in the UK when we returned from overseas. Upload the photo of the negative test and get a certificate. I know people who used to do these tests without putting the swab anywhere near the nose! So pretty pointless. I'll find out for sure in a few days. Not sure what the deal is for non UK people. Maybe you could ask about local test provision on the Barcelona board on TripAdvisor? There are some helpful people on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
