Any news if RC extending/dropping pre-cruise testing in the near future?

Yes, that's the key. They email the results and report to RCL.

No, they do not report results to Royal.  You will receive the results, noone else.

There are some saying on my roll call that CVS is now saying may be charged a fee of $139 but if you answer yes to any of the first couple of questions on cvs website then you qualify for the free test.    

 

@#Luv2travel only the binax ag card kits that are proctored and sold by emed.com or optum.com are acceptable for a cruise.  The standard one sold by Walgreen is not proctored and is unacceptable.  You may want to cancel your Walgreen order.

I believe there is now a third one, Radeus. Holland America uses the link for them. They are also proctored.

Thank you for the info after investigating I found the slight variance in the name of the test. I have ordered the one thru optum.com approved by Royal. Boy that could have been bad to find out the day before I had the wrong one!! It was covered under my FSA card too so not out any $..thanks again! Happy Sailing Sunshine3601.
