This was accepted and is widely used whether done at home or in a pharmacy.

Thank you---I did hear that some tests could be monitored remotely, I'm not sure that it applies to those tests obtained "free" from the government. Royal Caribbean can pay the monitors from the $70 cost of the test, and have a vested interest in having more people cruise. However, given the recent reports of cruises with fully vaccinated people who tested negative still having outbreaks, the reliability of home testing remains in question.
Also, I believe some destinations require PCR tests.
