I've noted a few comments where the service isn't even waiting the requisite 15 minutes for the results. Ah! Gotcha! Thought you meant positive to mean good. Nope, no positive results. They don’t wait the full 15 minutes. They only waited a minute or 2. If positive, it shows up almost immediately. Really no need to wait the 15 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really no need to wait the 15 minutes Depends on how much/little of the target protein is present in the sample. A 'weak line' can take some time to develop. That they don't follow the kit manufacturers' protocols raises red flags again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisin'a Posted October 12, 2022 #28 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Thanks for the update. I just submitted a dispute for the OnPoint charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBDave Posted October 12, 2022 Author #29 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I have disputed my CC charges as well and have ordered the Abbott BinaxNOW. I guess I should have gone this route in the first place. If EMed disappears like OnPoint, at least I can plead my case with Celebrity that I followed their protocol and order kits from their recommended vendor, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamkev Posted October 13, 2022 #30 Share Posted October 13, 2022 We just used rapid test and trace as nervous as I was for never having to do it very easy and had my results right away. They even did my hubby who had a later appointment. Would recommend them if you need to have a test done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Vickie Posted October 13, 2022 #32 Share Posted October 13, 2022 On 10/10/2022 at 10:06 PM, Arizona Wildcat said: If you are concerned about OnPoint- I used them in 2021 - then use your test with Rapidtestandtrace.com. Used them in August of this year. Rapidtestandtrace.com uses Microsoft Teams app.. FWIW OnPoint reported doing over 5 million tests. Much like Celebrity, not everyone happy. This was an epic fail, even if not of their making. We were lucky because we had an extra day built in. However, if you’re going on a cruise which still requires testing (I’m not sure if any itineraries do), and don’t have that leeway, it could be a problem.

No guarantee of when or if OnPoint will be up again. We used them both - easy. No need for Emed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
