Harrylinden Posted November 7, 2021 #26 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Can someone who has done the home proctored test? Can I register online for the test or is it only scanned with the QR code on my phone? I would like to do it on my computer if possible as it is a bigger screen than my phone or IPad!!! Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Mac Posted November 8, 2021 #27 Share Posted November 8, 2021 You hold the QR code up to the camera so the proctor can scan it. It doesnt matter what device you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance! You can do it on your computer as long as you have a web cam for it. They'll scan the QR code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IslaSarah Posted November 8, 2021 #30 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I'm on a December 26th sailing and am hoping I'll be able to test at one of the local quick testing sites on 12/24, but want to have home test kits as a backup. However, I'm afraid to order since they all have the warnings that they may expire too early. I wish there was better availability! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was $90 a pop, so I'm happy to stick with the home test for the moment. Can’t say I blame you. I ordered the Binax NOW just in case our plan for Walgreens or CVS falls through 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called a few of the locals CVS's - none open or doing testing on NYD. I'll also probably order the at-home kits -- I'm just wondering if any of their tele-med "guides" will be on duty on NYD??? I sent a contact form to that company but haven't heard back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like they could give us an extra day to get the testing done during holiday time periods. If your cruise departs on Dec. 26 or 27, what are your plans to meet the requirement? Purchase the Emed monitored home kits. We did this for our cruise on Edge last week and they were so easy. You have your results is 15 minutes.

We were scheduled for a January 3 cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale; I was able to find that CVS on Sunrise Boulevard (almost next door to the Galleria Mall) is open for the fast test on Sunday, January 2. There are other options; but since CVS was easy to use before my September cruise, I was confident using them again. We have since switched to January 19 so I am able to test at home before flying. Hope that helps! How do you know this? I’ve been doing ‘test’ bookings (stopping before actually booking) and every CVS within 25 miles is not available for any upcoming two week dates for rapid antigen tests. How could you know yet if they will be available then? Trust me, I want to believe this is true, as I am flying in on Thanksgiving and staying right down the road. Really wanted to be able to book a test there the next morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really wanted to be able to book a test there the next morning. I went into the CVS on Golf Road in Hoffman Estates who contacted the CVS on Sunrise. The woman who helped me was also the one who I worked with before my Edge cruise...very, very helpful. She called down to the store on Sunrise who verified they would be open for testing on 1/2. I was beyond frustrated trying to reach CVS direct, but Julie in the HE store was wonderful and got the info I was looking for. I see "Chicago suburbs"; any chance you are in the northwest suburbs? The CVS on Golf is east of Barrington Road. Hope that helps. Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
