Another testing question

[Dwright826]

So my last cruise, last November, we used the betamax or what ever proctored test and they worked fine. I was curious what tests people are using now a days. Would need decently fast shipping for a home test (if those are even still accepted).

We used the Binaxnow test from the optum store this past June for 9 of us. Worked fine. I bought it from the optum store online.

I have bought BinaxNow and used them for every cruise since the restart.  Most recently, I bought a 2 pack on Saturday morning and they arrived today, so pretty fast shipping.

If time is a factor, you can purchase OTC tests or use the free government onces and use On-Point to proctor them.

See JJ cruises on Youtube regarding this and what happened to them using this process. Curious to find out if others are having an issue with this proctoring. For now I'm sticking with Emed's BinaxNow as we have not had any issues in the last 5 cruises we have taken using them and they have  been arriving within 48hrs of ordering online. They are also easier to use than the government test.

Me, too.  We never had one, but I do remember them.
