Pre-cruise and pre-US flight Covid testing in Rome

[Bluestar01]

What are some of the recommendations to get pre-cruise Covid testing in Rome? Our cruise is Mid July and we are reaching 2 nights early in Rome, also where to test pre US flight? Expenses involved? Rapid antigen tests available?
 

thanks.

I purchased the E-med tests and we'll just carry them to Rome with us.

Ask your hotel (perhaps later, not now) if they have info.  In Istanbul it was easy to have someone come to our small center city, nothing special hotel to administer PCR (or antigen) tests.  The results were back in 5 hours (emailed to hotel and copy delivered to us) and testing was inexpensive. I'm not sure if this is available in Rome, but it's worth a try.  You don't need to rely on Wifi/phone, worry about how to interpret foreign language or how you can print or show results, etc. Paperwork was accepted by United in Barcelona.
