Rare 1025cruise Posted June 21, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I believe only the video monitored self tests are accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgloersen Posted June 21, 2022 #6 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Im getting ready to cruise in 10 days, as told by NCL, i had to buy the "Inspire" rapis tests. I also had to make an appointment 48 hours prior, this is a zoom call with a nurse who will supervise us while we test ourselves. We will get a negative confirmation (fingers crossed) and bring that to port with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCL also recommends eMed (which we have used for all of our cruises). eMed does not require you to make an appointment. BTW: We submit insurance claims for our test kits and our insurance company pays 100% of the cost of the proctored tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, IF that was good advice, shouldn't you simply say "Never call NCL and speak to telephone customer service about anything"? I mean, why call them in the first place if you should never believe them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, why call them in the first place if you should never believe them? That is what I'm saying. I thought that was fairly obvious. Obviously you may have no choice at some point but to call them, however there are better alternatives to try first: Work with a good travel agent Read the website Ask a question here And what I'm saying extends to cruise line telephone customer service in general, not just NCL's customer service. It was bad enough before the pandemic but is far worse now due to a lack of experienced personnel and the more complicated questions about COVID protocols that have to be answered. The same can be said about customer service operations in many industries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NW Pacific Posted June 22, 2022 #14 Share Posted June 22, 2022 First off, am amazed any insurance will pay for proctored tests for travel, wow, someone has amazing insurance!! Anyone that is on Medicare have this result? Have great supplemental, but as we know, if not Medicare approved procedure, supplemental does not and will not supplement.? Second, all these online testing sites, only approved by NCL, ummm, makes me wonder, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
