If it is still before its expiry date and you still have the purchase order number to insert into the App I see no reason why not . Found this recent film that could help others in what to expect ...

They have long sell by dates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then we have done several more and they have been fine, so we obviously did something wrong the first time. I'm going to practice again before our cruise as we haven't done one for a while. I still have some of the free NHS ones left to practice on! I just tried to do the same, but found that the testing fluid in one of the little twist neck fasteners had virtually disappeared. I hope it was a just a faulty one rather than a general problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as surprised as me. My wife and I just got emails from Lloyd's reminding us of our appointments tomorrow!!! Due to all the adverse reports about Lloyd's I had ordered Randox kits for both of us and if either of the Randox kits fail for some reason, early tomorrow morning, we've still got time to go to Lloyds, or we can cancel them if necessary.

Pine Man Posted June 11, 2022 #382 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Randox testing was a breeze this morning with the results in 30 minutes, thoroughly recommended AND cheap! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was easy and as you say results back quickly. You are always wary about using something new. We have been sent Chronomics test kits for our upcoming Ambassador cruise but the system looks very much the same as Randox but online as opposed to the app, plus Ambassador pay for the kits. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiseyowl Posted June 11, 2022 #384 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Just booked Dam, have randox here as back up. I do them all the time for work, but not taking any chances i mess this up for this holiday- desperate to be part of a sail away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, very happy with how our testing went, and fit to fly certificates now printed along with all the other paraphernalia we now need. Maybe we will run into you on board.

I know it adds to cost & stress levels (we went to the Caribbean in January with P&O when we were only sure of going after we'd tested negative at the airport) but as has already been evidenced things can spread quickly on cruise ships. We'll test anyway the day before boarding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiseyowl Posted June 21, 2022 #392 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Just cancelled my Dam booking, lost £20 but back to why we booked it for ease. Test twice weekly for work anyway so not concerned re our self screening process but one less thing to stress about from a formality perspective. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callyanna Posted June 21, 2022 #393 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I recently ordered lFT from Randox, and collected them up locally, but I can’t find the unique ref number. It says it is found within your covid-19 sample collection kit on pre-printed labels. There is definitely nothing in my box, or the box I ordered for a friend who is travelling with me… any ideas please anyone ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks kalos for the video, but mine don't look like that. Edit - I believe it's the QR code that's printed on the individual white lateral flow device (which is currently sealed inside packaging).

Callyanna Posted June 21, 2022 #397 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Thank you for your replies all, I have watched the recent video Kalos posted, and that was very helpful. That did seem to just require the order number that wiseyowl suggested …just don’t want things to go wrong 24hours before sailing, I may book a test for later in the day as a back up…just in case…😏 Technology is not my strong point.

davecttr Posted June 22, 2022 #400 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Yes it is the number beginning with a # on the email Randox sent you, this is your order number. The Certifly app is easy to use and it even uses your smartphone camera to take the photos of the test it needs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
