Rare gdlamberth Posted February 22, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Does anyone have any recent experience using a negative result from a BinaxNOW Ag Card test for boarding an Oceania ship? Website says O is partnered with Inspire for their easy at home test so I assume that is accepted. I called O and was not able to get a simple Yes or No answer. After searching this forum the latest discussion on this topic appears to be back in October. Anything more recent would be greatly appreciated.

Rare calicakes Posted February 23, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Yesterday, we did the Binax now tests that I purchased from Emed. It has to be a proctored test, O only accepts tests that are proctored, someone observes you take the actual test. With shipping, I paid 205 for 6 tests. We used our laptop to take the tests. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used Binax in November from our hotel room in Trieste and was quick and easy.....glad to hear still the same. We purchased 2 for $60.00 including shipping and received in 48 hours,. Enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare gdlamberth Posted February 23, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I did send an email to Oceania and just received this reply: Dear Mr. XXXXXXXX, Yes, we have confirmed it is acceptable, as long as it is a proctored service provider which the Binax Now eMed offers Thank You!!

Rare gdlamberth Posted February 23, 2022 Author #9 Share Posted February 23, 2022 While I was able to get the above answer to my specific question regarding a 25 March sailing; it is a somewhat complex question as Oceania is changing processes on 1 March. As a result, anyone's experience prior to 1 March may or may not be terribly relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted February 23, 2022 #10 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Just now, calicakes said: Yes. They never asked for the test results that we took proctor in our hotel room. Yeah, that would only come into play if you tested positive at the pier. Then you would need that to be reimbursed for the cruise. No negative test, no refund. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
