Creator's Key Takeaways

we think this may be the best option to use before your cruise

kelly and i we love carnival cruise line

carnival's resolution for that in a way that they can help their guests and also make sure they maintain the safety of their cruises was to allow some at-home testing

kelly and i think this is probably the easiest way to get that required negative covid19 testing prior to your selling

YouTube Video Description

Carnival Cruise Line will now allow guests to use two at-home COVID-19 testing options. The test is the same for both and uses Abbott’s BinaxNOW COVID-19 Antigen test. However, the test must be completed through either eMed or Optum. eMed sells a six pack that costs $150. Optum sells a two pack that costs $69.99. The link for both websites is below. eMed (six tests for $150): https://www.emed.com/products/covid-at-home-testkit-six-pack?hsLang=en Optum (two tests for $69.99): https://store.optum.com/shop/products/abbott-binaxNOW-COVID-19-ag-at-home-test-kit-2-pack/?fbclid=IwAR3XswC3zciA5zJBX6VidOy_qnB9LoOcFzQwRMSCyPz6Em3FzHVakQHtM-Y Our FREE CRUISE PLANNING GUIDE: https://thetravelscouts.ck.page/b88b9e9648 Our FREE MARDI GRAS CABIN PLANNING GUIDE: https://thetravelscouts.ck.page/ce34315768 Let us HELP YOU BOOK YOUR NEXT CRUISE!
