Tampa 48 hr test

[Allancy]

Celebrity Constellation require 48hr pcr test prior to sailing to Europe. Will be in Tampa hotel for two nights. Any suggestions on who best to go to for test, cost and timely. Thanks.

The hotel front desk may have suggestions, but the major pharmacy chains (CVS, Walgreens, etc) are still doing testing. Perhaps there is one close to the hotel you could book prior to arrival?

Accepted tests are PCR or antigen tests taken in person, supervised virtually, or unsupervised self-administered. Proof of a negative test can be the printed or digital results, a clear photo of your self-test result, or your actual self-test in hand.

Note that your COVID tests do not need to be supervised. You can use unsupervised, self administered COVID tests. Purchase these before you sail (or use the ones you may have gotten for free during that campaign). Make sure that the tests you use are not expired and be aware that expiration dates may have been extended by the FDA. Google "extended dates for" ...... (the brand of test you have).

Insurance coverage for on-site supervised testing, e.g., CVS and others, is fading. A typical supervised test at CVS is going to run you in the $120 range. Since you don't need these, buy a self test kit for under $20 at Amazon. Here's the link.
