CJS2766 Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 So with the ever constant changing requirements for pre cruise testing, I am stressing with the 48 hour time frame now. I was set with 3 days before, but now that extra day makes things difficult for me as I fly in a day early to Miami but don't get in until 3:00 to 4:00 and the last thing I want to do is frantically drive around trying to find a testing place. I just spoke with RC and they say that they will be selling the Abbott BinaxNow COVID-19 Antigen Self Test starting tomorrow and will be roughly $70.00 to $75.00 per couple. My questions is now? What if for some crazy reason, one of us tests false positive? Are we out that money on the purchase of that test kit where as if I went to my local CVS or Walgreens, it would have been free for the test. All this is so stressful as I have several Cruise Planner purchases, Air2Sea flight tickets, etc... Trying to be the optimist, but it's hard. I'm hoping for the best, but what if we get the worst???? cruisellama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walgreens opens up their NAAT testing 72-48 hours before testing day for Florida locations. Stalk the website at night and schedule the test when you see the availability open up. Purchase the at home tests and bring with you as the last minute backup. Royal's policy is a proof of positive test results will get you a refund, so breathe easier at least on that part. cruisellama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 You buy the at home tests for convenience and peace of mind that you'll get the results quickly. Also that you can do the test on your time, not someone else's schedule. cruisellama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ampurp85 Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 I have the test for peace of mind, I consider what I spent appropriate. Since we will need to pick up a few last minute items, I am still planning a free test from Walgreens WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
