Does Carnival have a provider to order proctored tests from?

Is a self-test acceptable?

Fully vaccinated guests may consider using self-administered telehealth COVID-19 tests, which have been approved by the CDC to satisfy the pre-cruise testing requirement. The test must be a COVID-19 viral test (NAAT or antigen test) with Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The self-test process must happen under live supervision on a video call with a telehealth representative who must confirm the person’s identity, observe the specimen collection and testing procedures, confirm the test result, and issue a report that meets the requirements of acceptable proof of a negative COVID-19 test. The telehealth provider must issue a result document that includes all the necessary information which must be presented at the time of check-in. Fully vaccinated guests may consider using one of the following self-administered telehealth tests:

A telehealth proctored test is acceptable.  Thank you,  that is the link I was looking for. However,  they are out. Says to check back after the 25th. Good thing we don't sail till the end of Feb.

I would read the testing thread at the top of the forum and the Carnival site.

You are not required to use their specific vendor.  Any telehealth proctored test is acceptable as long as it meets the criteria in the above post.
