dan4182 Posted August 8, 2021 #2 Share Posted August 8, 2021 The RapidClinics located in most of the bigger HEBs offer the 15minute antigen tests. Check their website for locations ans appointment times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgwest Posted August 13, 2021 #3 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Has anyone had a rapid antigen test done in Galveston? If so, where? The only places I can find back up 45 toward Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funbobby68 Posted August 18, 2021 #7 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Hey all we sail next month , and we are flying in to Houston 3 days before our cruise to spend some time in Galveston, we (all six of us ) are getting tested the Monday before we fly . We need to get another test once we land on Thursday evening, or Friday morning either close to Houston airport, or in Galveston Need to know where would be the best place preferably in Galveston, the cvs is a drive thru service and we don’t have a rental car need help ASAP , wife freaking out a bit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBarker Posted August 18, 2021 #8 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Maybe try gcoem.org/covid-19-test-locations/ I'm sure the urgent care clinics will do it for a fee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosljam1 Posted August 29, 2021 #12 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Most drug stores and pharmacies are backed up.you need an appointment thats way backed up. I suggest most urgent care facilities get you done fast without an appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinCruise Posted September 20, 2021 #16 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I’d consider emed.com for antigen test. Done over a virtual telemedicine session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funbobby68 Posted September 28, 2021 #18 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Back from our cruise , 3 tests in total , all negative, was simply process on the ship for our pcr test , and results were quick , paid 50 for a antigen test at clinic in Galveston really all not as scary as it seems , truly enjoyed the cruise limited capacity, but still tons of fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynt Posted September 28, 2021 #19 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I would order two 6 packs from eMed.com and self administer my test once I arrive in Galveston. You order one pack and have your spouse order one. That way if somebody messes up you will have extra. Pack them in your carry on and test whenever you need to test.

dan4182 Posted October 5, 2021 #20 Share Posted October 5, 2021 If you are flying into Bush Airport there is a testing site in Terminal E of the airport near the food court, don’t know what their hours of operation are or the costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

live2cruise2011 Posted October 13, 2021 #22 Share Posted October 13, 2021 When you test for cruise is it out of pocket or does your insurance cover it sorry we just booked so trying to cross off all my questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can still get 2 & 3 pack sets from Optum. From the eMed site: https://www.emed.com/waitlist?hsLang=en "While we replenish our inventory, eMed verified tests are available in packs of two or three from our partner, The Optum Store" For 6 people I would order 3 sets of three - best to have spares. Set up a NAVICA account for each person and start just running them through, each test takes about 20 minutes (Most of it waiting the 15 minutes). Even buying 3 sets of three would still be cheaper that just 1 paid-for test. And Faster AND: DW was not feeling well one day on our cruise, Pulled out a eMed test and did a proctored test (We had purchased premium WiFi) just to be sure it was Not the Creepy Crawly COVID Crud (It Wasn't).
