Appointments for pre-cruise testing outside the terminal open 30 days prior to your sailing date — guests will not be able to book prior to that. To book an appointment for a pre-cruise test outside the terminal, please select the port where your cruise will be departing from.

Port Everglades   |   Cape Liberty   |   Port Canaveral   |   Miami   |   Port of Tampa   |   Port of Galveston   |   San Juan   |   Los Angeles

Is the date on the box December? Or is the date December with the 3-month extension?

Both Optum and Emed had the tests listed as expiring in early February just a few weeks ago.

Emed is currently sending tests with a November 2022 expiration date and Optum still has tests that expire in early February according to the "Test Expiration" thread in the People Connect section.

Yes the ninth...  The one we had found looked different. We finally found that one you show. Thank you...  Now if I could get flights to stop changing and canceling, I'd feel much better... 

 

The EWR 250$ test price is for fast PCR testing , antigen was around 80$ at least few months ago.

I just received my Emed tests today and the expiration date is Nov 21, 2022.  I was supposed to get them on 12/31/21, however, I just received them via FedEx today.  We fly Mexico (Rivera Maya via Cancun) in early February and our hotel Unico 20-87 is suppose to provide test to fly back to US but I am taking some with us just in case they change their mind and charge for them.  We also have to test before our Harmony cruise in mid July and to fly to Amsterdam/Jewel in August and returning to US (if that is still a thing).  Hopefully, we don't have to burn two in Mexico so that I will have enough for our cruises.

Have fun! A friend of mine stayed at Unico 20-87 for he and his wife's honeymoon he said it was a great resort! (pre-pandemic)

OPTUM / E- Med are on my "NO" list after knowingly sending ne yet more expired ones Date was September 19, even extended that is only til December. Well, last time I looked its January!  I have a public facility appointment so I'm good, GF had to pay a clinic in Jersey $90 a person for rapid . All cause CVS doesn't  follow thriugh. Even here in Florida I went for booster appointment. They were out. Went to Publix next door, no wait, quick harpooning and on my way... 😄

Another option is urgent care locations. Cheaper than the airport, but they don't usually take reservations. First come, first served

A place similar to them that does tests only doing it. Cheaper than Airport by a lot but not cheap.
