Nancy8250 Posted January 14, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I will be flying in to Houston and travelling to Galveston two days before my Cruise on the Dream. I will be staying at the Best Western Plus Seawall. Does anyone have any recommendations for me to schedule my Covid test at? I had to have one in September in order to go to Aruba, but, I was able to have it done here in NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondello Posted January 14, 2022 #2 Share Posted January 14, 2022 @Nancy8250 I'd bring a BinaxNOW proctored test with me and test 24/7 from hotel room. Did this in Miami last month with no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseguy1016 Posted February 21, 2022 #13 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Bumping this to the top to get current information. We'll be sailing on March 20th. Looking for a place that offers (free?) testing to cruise ship passengers. Is UTMB still the place to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if UTMB is free and never stated it was free; only a place to go for testing. We are patients of the facility with insurance coverage. All entities on the island charge. The free test site on Market St. closed in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
