neverbeenhere Posted August 18, 2022 #12 Share Posted August 18, 2022 All the tests are easy until you get a corrupted test kit. Best to have a backup plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answer questions and help with moving the phone/camera around etc Yes, to some extent. He had to swab his nose himself, but I did the camera and put the swab in the test card cause he wasn't figuring that out on his own (I admit I had trouble the first time I did it). Also had keep him from answering his phone while waiting the 15 minutes. (MIL can wait a hot minute, he will call her back LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We each also did a lab test ( me and DH at Quest, FIL and DD at CVS) as backup. Have done tests for 5 cruises now, never had a corrupted one, but have always had a backup. That's just my OCD.

I had an emed test I bought through Royal come back invalid too. Complete ripoff and money grab. OnPoint saved the day. Emed basically said they didn't care and weren't refunding anything.

NotPayinExtra Posted August 18, 2022 #17 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Just to clarify. Are we talking 1 bad test out of a box of 3 or 6 depending on size? Or every test in the box being no good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobNoxious Posted August 22, 2022 #19 Share Posted August 22, 2022 How soon after the test do you get your emailed results from eMed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruiselvr04 Posted August 22, 2022 #20 Share Posted August 22, 2022 We’ve ordered the 6 pack twice now. In the first box, one test had no liquid in the tube. Emed sent us another box of 6 because of it. This was early though in late 2021. We always have extra available when we call and have not have trouble since. My advice is to always have an extra 1 or 2 available. We have had our test results in our email almost immediately. Hopefully pre testing will soon be over. Next up a 5 night with NO testing. Yay!
