Please be aware that Royal Caribbean requires a negative PBR Antigen test to be conducted a few days before our cruise. As of today, it's good for only two days. It can be ordered, paid for and done at home. I ordered mine from RoyalCaribbean.com/hometestkit.
I encourage everyone to touch base directly with the cruise line for the most accurate and up-to-date covid/cruise requirements. This information changes frequently.
Have a great, fun and safe cruise!
Forget about a test give me a PBR and start sailing.
This week I received a 6-pack of Abbott Binax (proctored) antigen tests from eMed. Expiration date is 1 Jan 2023 so will get us through the cruises we have planned this calendar year. Used this test on 2 earlier cruises and the process is very smooth and helps relieve some of the test anxiety. Appears they're all recently manufactured so have a sufficient level of shelf life as opposed to earlier ones we ordered.
Good to know!! I was thinking of ordering ours for our June cruise but was a little worried about the expiration dates. I may wait a month or so to do it, just to be sure. I've used the OTC version of the test and it's super simple and I didn't feel as though I was swabbing the back of my brain like when you go someplace to get it done.

See the Mayo presentation on U tube today. Now I understand about c19 shots and boosters.
Maybe it's Pro Bull Riding while drinking a PBR beer!
Got a few of those old beer cans.. I mean old, like non-pop top old, in our beer can collection.
I remember my PapPap used to drink both of those when I was a kiddo, along with the local IC Beer / IC Light
Careful, we're showing our age here...at least I am anyways hehehe.....and AUNTIE, just to be clear, you obviously got the test Monday? that wouldn't have qualified for a CCL cruise on on a SAT...or even a Friday if they had one.......
Yeh I get it...it is, and to kill time further, try to find an actual SCHLITZ, which is made by the same people who made Strohs...how do I know this? welllllllllll.................(after awhile, typing ANYTHING becomes.........difficult)....but seriously, when are you actually getting onboard??? and when did you take the test? and how??? notice I didn't ask "where"....I think we're golden, but I'm taking a poll....our time is getting short, but not as short as yours....as YOU know by now, "testing" has become a "thing"......

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!! What caused our problem was the Thanksgiving holiday and CCL's dropping the time period from 3 days to 2.....if it wasn't for that, it wouldn't have been as big of a hassle as it turned into, If this testing thing is brought forward, we will NEVER let a holiday like that clog up the bookings.......fortunately, the rest of em look good....I can';t believe its going to go on "forever".....
Don't worry bout spelling.........so your cruiseline doesn't require a neg test within 2 days prior to embarcation???
Actually WA required it. We will get tested again for the cruise line.
WE PASSED! GOOD TO GO!
We took it with UCHealth, yesterday. Same place we have received our vaccines. We fly out tomorrow morning and set sail on the American Pride (American Riverboat cruise line) Friday. They said results in 24-48 hours and I know it hasn't been then that long yet, but.... Anyway our traveling companions already have received their results (taken at the Mayo Clinic in MN). They are good to go so I am now more tense (if that's possible). I never was good at taking tests!
Just a note: don't know what happened to my spell check, so I apologize for all my mistakes.
