The app did not show dinner for WJ for my cruise today on Harmony until it got closer to sail date. I'm guessing that was the confusion. OP, wait til it gets closer to your cruise, WJ dinner hours as well as theme nights should appear.

Too stylish for me, lol. I’ll keep an eye out for ya though. 🤣 I so rarely wear pants here but do at night on the ship.. Usually khakis & short sleeve button down or casual polo (not one you’d wear to an office). Just no Tommy Bahama prints. Screw dressing up. I own one black suit that I used to wear for weddings, funerals, & formal nights… it’s literally been collecting dust in my closet for years. See ya on board!

Walgreens here didn't ask for insurance. Mine didn't even ask for my ID when I arrived! 🙈 Is my cheesesteak on its way to Harmony? 😋

We did this for a B2B in July. Check-in for the 1st leg is in 3 days. Zero chance we'll get the same cabin. We'll see what we get for both and then look to move one if we want to, same as with a single GTY. No big deal to us either way or else we wouldn't have booked it this way.

Read the OP's post, they are going to Walgreens, said no CVS within 100 miles.

The NAAT test at Walgreens is a PCR test, not antigen like CVS or the majority of home tests. From what I've read, you may pop a positive with PCR/NAAT if you had covid in the recent past (can't define recent, I've seen people say 30-90 days). I believe is also a more accurate test with less likelihood for false negatives than an antigen test but I could be wrong. In any case, my point is there was likely a scientific reason that this person tested positive with a NAAT test but not with an antigen test and it has nothing to do with Walgreens.

My sister-in-law's family of 4 all did CVS minute clinic yesterday. Your appointment options are in 10 minute increments but when someone takes one, say 10am, the 10:10am will disappear with it to space them out by 20 mins. So each appointment will be 20 minutes apart. Hope that makes sense.

Yes, it is free at Walgreens if you answer YES to the travel question (wife and I took the tests yesterday and weren't charged).

I don't believe so, but someone else will have to verify, sorry for not understanding.

The rest of my family (including 8 & 12 year old nieces) all had Rapid Antigen Tests done by someone at CVS minute clinic… not invasive at all. Same thing for my wife at urgent care a handful of times at various points during the pandemic. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but I think the days of the the unpleasant, let’s poke your brain with the swab, type tests are gone.

Send it to Deck 11 of Harmony any day this upcoming week! 😋

Ask RC. 🤷‍♂️ It’s their website that says your results must include “the lab’s CLIA Lab Number or Certification Number.”

Allentown! My wife went to Muhlenberg. I remember. I'd rather have a cheesesteak FedEx'd after we both return but I'll take the wave. Hope you have a great cruise!

Not sure what that thread has to do with me telling the OP my Walgreens test results have a CLIA number. If you or they don't care to believe me or don't find my info helpful, sorry, I tried.

Yes. Mine took about 45 mins, wife's took about 90 mins. Despite what is posted above, our PDF results most defitely DO have a CLIA number.

My guess is whomever you spoke to gave you bad info.

Used Walgreens for the first time this morning. FYI, the results do indeed have a CLIA number. That said, sooooo many people have successfully used Walgreens to cruise, there was never anything to worry about anyway. Hope this helps.

When my wife's sister got married, her husband had never cruised... we designated him as "Rust" until after his 1st cruise.

You already posted that.

I used it for the first time this morning, had the 1st appt. at 9:30am. Got there 10 mins early and was politely told they weren't ready yet and to come back in 10 minutes, lol. My wife went to a different Walgreens by her work and got there early for her 9:30am appointment and was taken early. Seems that it varies a bit by location.

This policy must have been instituted sometime after 2002. I had never been on a cruise in my life but my wife was emerald when we got married and we went on Voyager for our honeymoon. I was given her amount points back then.

I'm usually long gone before the breakfast is being put out, lol. I normally get pastries to go with my coffee from Promenade Cafe but that's more convenient when I'm using the DL down on deck 4. Rest assured, as long as we all test negative, I'll be checking the SL long before 6:45 and if no luck I'll try the DL next. May even try it vice-versa if I'm wanting to go to Promenade Cafe anyway. Sometimes I just go with my wife to deck 5 while she's on her way to the track. Thanks for the update. Back to worrying about 8 of us testing negative...

NAAT is like a rapid PCR test, RC accepts all of them as stated on their website.

Why wasn't I notified of this? Yay for early coffee! Hopefully it's actually ready even earlier next week.

Roughly $6-8.
