Rapid NAAT Covid Test - Does RCCL Accept These?

[cruiser man]

Does RCCL accept the results form a NAAT Rapid covid test?  Walgreens seems to take these vs. the Rapid Antigen Test.

 

Thanks for your input,

Yes, that's what my husband and I had for our cruise a month ago, as no one in the area was offering the rapid antigen tests at that time.  Rapid NAAT is fine.

Used that through Walgreens for our recent April Anthem cruise and plan to do so again for our upcoming June Allure cruise.  Had the results within 1 hour.

We use the eMed home test. Fast. Easy. Do a test at the kitchen table while sipping coffee in the morning. Test results withing a few seconds of the proctor verifying a negative test result. And our insurance company reimburses us 100% for the cost of the test kits. We have used it for our RCCL and NCL cruises.

Yes...just used this option for our under age 5 grandson for our Eastern Caribbean itinerary a week ago that needed the PCR test 3 days before our cruise. Results about 15 min later. RCI then did a test at the terminal in Port Canaveral and then another one the day before cruise end. All very quick and easy.
