etowntraveler Posted December 18, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Does anyone have the names of any pharmacies in Sydney (close to the Opera House) where I could get a RAT test prior to embarking on my cruise next month? Thank you in advance for any information. Happy Holidays to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etowntraveler Posted December 18, 2022 Author #2 Share Posted December 18, 2022 PS- I wanted to clarify when I said "get" the test, I meant they would administer the test and give me proof of a negative result. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windsor26 Posted December 18, 2022 #3 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Why not buy a test from your local pharmacy and just do it yourself 8 hours before You need to photo the test result against an official photo (driving licence) with date That is all they need 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchhalm Posted December 18, 2022 #4 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I can only speak for Celebrity Cruises. They will accept a supervised RAT (by a chemist or medical professional) OR a regular self test RAT. Of the latter you take a time stamped photo and show at check in or even bring the test along to show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchhalm Posted December 18, 2022 #5 Share Posted December 18, 2022 If it makes you feel better, the TERRY WHITE chemist (pharmacy) chain seems to do supervised RAT. I give you the link below. I searched for "The Rocks" as location, as this is the closest general area to the opera house. https://bookings.terrywhitechemmart.com.au/corporate/Terry White Group/search?specialty=COVID-19 Testing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnps Posted December 18, 2022 #6 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Most cruise lines seem quite happy to have a photo of a self-administered test. Mine wasn't even looked at when i checked in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a few dont though, we are on an Azamara cruise in February next year and they only accept a PCR test or a Supervised RAT. 9 hours ago, etowntraveler said: Does anyone have the names of any pharmacies in Sydney chemist warehouse were doing them for $29.99 but im not sure if they still do, i did call our local store as we may need to get one but was told they have never done them, only certain stores are doing so and the lady i spoke with didn't have the list, closes one to circular Quay would be George Street, so should be walking distance, number for them is 02 8381 4514 https://rsvp.chemistwarehouse.com.au/rat Let us know if you find one, as we may need it as well? just hoping Azamara change the rules by the time we go in February 🤞 Edited December 18, 2022 by Hammer61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clairebearinaus Posted December 19, 2022 #8 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I haven't used them myself but I believe there are online services which do this. They watch you do the test on Zoom or the like, and email you the paperwork you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
