Canadian Proctor Covid test for Alaska Cruise from Vancouver Royal Caribbean

[bctablet]

Anyone successfully board a Royal Caribbean Alaska cruise in Vancouver with a proctor Covid test using one of those diy rapid antigen test kits provided for free by the BC government in Canada?  Those test kits provided for free are not FDA approved.

FDA is only an American jurisdiction, Canada is separate

Yes. I used one of our free kits and was observed virtually by Rapid Test and Trace.

Yes. We are from Burnaby and used the free test that we received from the BC government. We successfully used telehealth + the test kits to fly into the US and to board Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas. The telehealth company we used for proctoring our tests was: https://lifecenters.ca/. Very inexpensive and easy to use. Results were emailed to us immediately after the testing session ended.

Would I be correct that RCL accepted the Rapid ResponseTest provided by the provincial government? I reside in Saskatchewan where we have a number of test kits in stock by the same manufacturer that I could use but I wasn't sure they would accept them as we can be tested in Canada before we leave for our cruise out of Amsterdam in July.
