You can sign out and then create another account. Just an FYI, when you sign up, you will have to be able to check your email for a verification code, so if you are signing someone else up on your phone, make sure they have access to their email during the sign up process. Thank you, that will make it a little easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyloRen Posted September 10, 2021 #152 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Hi all! I ordered the 6 pack bitax from the website. I can use this on all 6 guests right? (the box is here I just have not opened it yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htkodiak Posted September 10, 2021 #154 Share Posted September 10, 2021 This is what I found on the emed site. If I have read it correctly the expiration date is now one year after manufacture.

(the box is here I just have not opened it yet) People have said that they have used them on multiple people. I don't remember anyone saying they used a 6 pack on 6 separate people, but you should be able to. The tests each come in their own box. For example I bought a 3 pack. There were 3 boxes shoved in the packing envelope, so its not like they were packaged together originally. There is nothing that connects any of the tests to each other if that makes sense. And there is nothing that connects the test to you just because you bought it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday I searched absolutely everywhere (locally and online) for these tests, and the only places I could find the proctored tests (accepted by Carnival) were eMed and Optum. Yesterday afternoon, eMed was showing "out of stock" however, it looks like they are once again selling them today, with a limit of one (6-pack) per order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then had to give the FN and LN + DOB of each individual that would be taking the test. I ordered it yesterday, said to be delivered before 8 PM today. That's all I know on the subject so far.

debnrick Posted September 11, 2021 #160 Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) For anyone that has used this to board recently…….did embarkation staff accept your results via your phone OR did you have to present a printed copy? Asking because we will be taking our test in our hotel room and may not have access to a printer. Thanks for your help .. and as always … HAPPY HEALTHY SAILING!

simmingdenise Posted September 11, 2021 #161 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Many people have reported that a digital copy of lab results are fine. John Heald has also confirmed. The hotel desk should be able to print your results for you if that makes you feel more secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furf_n_slo Posted September 11, 2021 #162 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I believe digital is fine but I would try to print if you can. It will be easier for them to see all results. You won't need to flip through docs on your phone or hand over your phone for them to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzdoug Posted September 11, 2021 #163 Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) You can always send it to staples@printme.com or officedepot@printme.com to print at Staples or office Depot respectively. Then you can go to a store and print it at one of the self service printer/copiers in the store. It will probably print more legibly if you print to pdf and email that document. Another option in a pinch may be to take a screenshot and print it as a photo at Walgreens or CVS. If you try this, please report on your success/failure.

Purvis1231 Posted September 11, 2021 #164 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Make sure you are using the monitored test and I would also get printed results. A cruise cost too much to risk not having everything required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladybug5 Posted September 11, 2021 #165 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Hope this helps to any one who only has 1 email. You can use 1 email for multiple people with each having their on login. When you are creating a login on the Navica app you will notice a circle with a person in the top right corner touch it and you will get the Account & Settings. Go mid way & you will see managed Profiles. Go to create managed profile and create another login for someone else. When it comes time for testing & you go thru Emed you will find all of the managed profiles available & then you can test each individually. You do each have to go separately and have your own countdowns & your own proctors, but all can be accomplished with 1 email and get all your printouts. My husband & I have gone thru the process to try it out and it worked. Will do for real next weekend. Good luck to all. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lidoplease Posted September 13, 2021 #169 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I wanted to buy the tests, but they first ask why I wanted them and none of the options were for travel, except returning to US. Perhaps this is new? But I couldn't lie and purchase them. The other options were symptoms, exposure, etc. Nothing that applies to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you have an increased chance of exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busymomintc Posted September 15, 2021 #174 Share Posted September 15, 2021 The "other" option has been removed at some point. The only choices are have symptoms, been exposed, at high risk because of employment or living situation and need testing for re-entry into the U.S. When you don't indicate one of these reasons and just click on next is says you're not eligible and don't meet the requirements to order a test at this time. I was hoping this would be our solution to testing as you can't find a rapid test testing site around here unless you have symptoms or been exposed. If you're just needing a test for travel and need it quick because of the 2 day turnaround time there's not any options. Hopefully things will change.

It looks like “other” changed to “none of the above.” I just did a test run, clicked “none of the above” and it started the test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
