OnPoint Testing

[DENBET30]

Wondering if anyone has heard of OnPoint testing and if so does RCCL accept this service for their required covid test? Specifically they do a remote internet monitoring of an unopened home test kit and give results in 15 minutes. Cost is $23.99

Telehealth Testing for Cruises Departing from U.S. Ports, Puerto Rico and Canada

For fully vaccinated guests as young as 5, we accept self-administered COVID-19 tests taken under live video supervision.

Telehealth self-tests taken at home must meet these requirements:

• Per U.S. CDC guidance, only vaccinated guests may present self-administered telehealth COVID-19 test results at the terminal to satisfy the pre-cruise testing requirement.
• The test must have Emergency Use Authorization from the U.S. FDA.
• The self-test process must happen under live supervision on a video call with a telehealth representative.
• The telehealth provider must issue you a result document that includes all the necessary information.
• International guests sailing from the U.S. are able to complete their testing using telehealth test kits, providing the kit has been authorized for use by the U.S. FDA. Telehealth test kits obtained internationally that do not meet this requirement will not be accepted. International guests can arrange to have F.D.A.-approved test kits shipped to the U.S. address where they’ll be staying before their cruise and complete their test prior to departing for the cruise terminal using a U.S. PayPal address to complete the purchase.

Did you use them and was it ok?

Keep us posted. We test next month pre-cruise with them. I dumped "Rapid Test & Trace USA" over their slowness, vague answers, and inability to call back on questions I had. After SEVERAL emails asking for refund they came back with the theme of "instead of refunding you, we'd prefer you keep us for credit and we will add another 25% credit." NO. Avoid this.
