vegas7df Posted March 29, 2022 #2 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Try to locate a CVS or Walgreens in that area, make a reservation on their website. You’ll need to see how far in advance they’ll allow you to book, typically it’s 2 weeks in advance. Or check to see if they are offered at the airport for travel.

b&wcruiser Posted March 29, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I did a fake reservation, but they only accept an adress in the USA, you have to filll in a state in the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted March 29, 2022 #4 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Both airports have testing centers. Just google for location and information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikkelhansen Posted March 29, 2022 #5 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Check out Lab Doctor in Fort Lauderdale, 49$pp antigen test, no time booking, only walk-ins. They test all nationalities (we're from Denmark and will be using them this Friday for our Saturday Celebrity Apex sailing). 6 hours ago, vegas7df said: Try to locate a CVS or Walgreens in that area, make a reservation on their website.

FreestyleNovice Posted March 30, 2022 #8 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Another option: eMed; order them through https://store.optum.com/celebrity-cruises/ and https://store.optum.com/royal-caribbean/ (alike). Order them with delivery to your hotel, setup an account (use a fake US phone number and state, not user friendly despite RCCL pushing this as their way to test for international travellers..), do the test 24/7 via your tablet/smartphone in your hotel room, results in your email and voila. Do take in account the shipping is some 20 USD and I see they raised the prices of the kits, it was $150 for six.. travelling is getting popular I guess.

The Optum Store has recently started to charge for shipping; it's $7.99 for a 3-pack to my (U.S.) address. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this one (Lab Doctor) is highly recommended by a YouTuber from Canada that has done several cruises from FLL since the cruise restart.

Posting my "review" of them from the Celebrity forum: My wife and I got tested there today. Arrived at ~8.40AM, got "signed in" and filled out a web form with name, DOB etc. from my phone. We waited around 15 minutes (there were approximately 10 other persons waiting ahead of us, mostly couples presumably getting tested for a Saturday or Sunday cruise/flight), then got called in, antigen tests taken on both of us VERY gently (ie. not very far into the nostril), printed negative results received after another ~15 minutes. In and out in just over 30 minutes. Very relaxed atmosphere, no queue-cutting by anyone, everyone was called in chronologically. I can certainly recommend them for anyone wanting an antigen test done in Fort Lauderdale. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie51 Posted April 10, 2022 #14 Share Posted April 10, 2022 OK, now I am currently staying at the EB Hotel in Miami which I highly recommend because they have Covid testing right here at the hotel so it’s very convenient if you don’t have a car.
