CVS PRE CRUISE COVID TEST

[Wineojim]

Good Day everyone, this is my 1st post in a long time. does anyone know or can confirm the Antigen Covid test I took today is good for my cruise. it shows as LUMIRADX SARS-COV-2AG TEST with Negative results. Thank You in advance

Honestly, they don’t even look at the test name.  All they verify is if it was a PCR or Antigen, the name and DOB of the person sailing, and date of test.  But that is the same test I was given (also at CVS) and I sailed on the Freedom of the Seas last week.

Thank You for the reply

Yes that is good for your cruise.  We used CVS for our cruise in September and that is what all ours said also.  Enjoy your cruise!

Yes, it has FDA emergency use authorization.  https://www.fda.gov/media/141304/download

I am having so many problems booking through CVS's website because I was vaccinated last November. It was much easier to book with Walgreens but, they are only booking 3 days out.

Yes, our 6 yr old got the rapid CVS test in Manhattan and it was the "LUMIRADX SARS-COV-2 AG TEST", so would be good for an adult as well. This was accepted without issue when we got to the terminal.

Yeah, plus CVS is almost impossible if you need an appointment within 13 days.  If you log on in the morning at14 or 15 days prior to your test date, you should have no issues getting an appointment

That type of test is good...     When are you sailing?    The test needs to be taken no more than 2 days prior to sailing, so as long as you are sailing either tomorrow or Wednesday you'll be fine.

Those of you who have taken the Covid test with CVS, how long did it take to get your results, and were the results sent via email or via text?  Thanks for any and all information.

How were you vaccinated last November? I got my Pfizer vaccination on December 19th. The second day they were available in the world, as I work ambulance.

Someone has to volunteer to test the vaccines so that we can all feel safe to sue them.

Then so. It seems, that is why CVS does not see your date as "Legit". Because the emergency use order was after your vaccination. BTW, Thank you for volunteering.
