Covid test in US travelling from UK


Recommended Posts

Im after some advice. We are travelling from the UK for an Alaskan cruise in August. we will be staying in Seattle for a week pre cruise. i need to arrange an antigen test for my wife and i and a PCR test for my unvaccinated 7yr old son.

I have tried to order the recommend Royal Caribbean ones but it will not let me processes the payment as its not from a US registered bank account!

Is there any recommendations on what the best options would be and the best place to book a pcr test in Seattle. 

 

Thanks in Advance!

I will preface this by saying YMMV.  This was our experience. 

I was able to book testing in June for 4 people at Walgreens.  One of the 4 was a European citizen with a European passport.  All they asked for was for him to show his ID, no questions asked and no charge.

This was in Florida but there may be Walgreens in Seattle as well. 

It doesn't hurt to ask.

Be aware that Walgreens has changed policies since June and now charges something like $129 for travel-related covid tests.

I used Dochq before my last cruise. They’re a British company, they send the tests out the same day you order them and you can video call them when you’re abroad. They were fab.
