Testing at Orlando Airport

[topaz123]

Getting the stress test with the rapid 3 day test requirement.  If all else fails, can we get the rapid antigen test at the orlando airport prior to sailing.  Trying to cover every base......Walgreens is too iffy on the test, Have the proctored test but what if the internet is down or some digital problem.....maybe orlando testing if available?

Where will you be staying that wifi may not work?  You can also use cellular data too.  I've done 5 proctored eMed tests and knock on wood, never had any technical issues.

 

IMO it's easier on a laptop than a phone too but YMMV

We did our proctored tests at our hotel in Port Canaveral on our laptop....couldn't have been easier.

I also understand there are a couple of urgent cares in Cocoa Beach that offers the test too.

if you are vaccinated which cruise line allows you 3 days?  
 

For Royal it is 2 days…

We were going to do Emed Rapid at home on laptop.....sometimes wifi good sometimes not so good, just trying to cover all bases and " What if". Walgreens is very undependable....they had a sign in the window that they would close from 12 to 3 today? So can't count on them. Thanks for link..all else fails we can do the Orlando airport test. Tip of the hat to ya...

As long as you are up to date with your vaccinations including your booster if eligible.

Yes indeed, testing is available at MCO.  Here's my thread on it from about 4 months ago:  

Since then, they've added another testing option there, for a total of three.

 

TL,DR:  Testing at MCO is easy to find, easy enough to perform, results are reasonably quick, expect to pay about $65 for an antigen test (more for a PCR test), don't expect insurance to be used as payment.
