luv2ndhalf Posted September 19, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I’ve been checking daily on the Celebrity Healthy At Sea page, and I see where they talk about the Abbott tests- I have not seen the Abbott ID Now mentioned. I have bought the test at home kits from Celebrity, but I’d also like to have a back up plan in case I have any issues with the test (like I mess something up )…. Has anyone boarded with the ID Now test results? Any issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted September 19, 2021 #2 Share Posted September 19, 2021 ID Now is a quick PCR (NAAT) test, and while earlier not included in Celebrity's language of acceptable tests, that changed quite a while back, and it's acceptable now. Often available at Walgreens here. The only Abbott test that is not accepted is the BinaxNow self-test that is not proctored by someone authorized to monitor the test and issue the result. A search of ID Now here should net you a bunch of data. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted September 19, 2021 #3 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Make sure that the kit you buy is monitored. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used the ID Now for other travel… just was concerned that it wasn’t listed and technically it is self administered while sitting in your car- but the pharmacy employee is at the window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
