It says take a picture of the test or bring it with you, yuck! You can do it at home or hotel. Just follow the instructions that come with the test, very simple.

That's they way I'm reading it, that no "proctor" is required after Sept 5 for all cruises except the ones that stop in Canada/Bermuda & many Europe stops.

I received this email from Celebrity today. I think it is saying that an observed test will no longer be required on most sailings from the US. Does anyone else interpret it this way? Starting with September 5th departures: All travelers, regardless of vaccination status, can cruise with us on sailings departing from U.S. and Europe ports (excluding sailings that visit Canada). We will begin accepting self-tests on sailings from U.S. ports that don’t visit Canada and Bermuda, and on many Europe sailings. We’re easing testing protocols for U.S. cruises that don’t visit Canada or Bermuda: For sailings 9 nights or less, vaccinated guests will no longer need to test to board one of our ships, where destinations allow; and will have 3 days prior to boarding to test for sailings 10 nights or more. Unvaccinated guests ages 5 and older will need to test 3 days prior to boarding U.S. sailings (excluding Canada and Bermuda); and ages 12 and older for select Europe sailings. The current testing protocol for cruises to Canada and Bermuda will remain in place until further notice, as well as the requirement that guests age 12 and up be fully vaccinated. Some testing protocols in Europe are also easing.

QLS Transportation is the best I've ever used. Clean, polite, great service, huge shuttle vans that look brand new inside. Service always prompt!

If cases are no symptoms why were they tested? Are they randomly testing people on board?

You can use Azova for a telehealth visit. They have about 6 FDA approved tests you can use. I am using the iHealth kits I got from the post office. It's $20 and you can schedule an appointment 24/7. I've spoken to them and chatted online with them. They are very responsive.
