PCR Test for US arrival - disembarking ship in the UK immediately upon disembarkation

[Florida_cruisers]

We will be on the Anthem next year out of the UK and we are wondering how can we take the required Covid test to get back to the US as we will be leaving straight from the ship to the airport. At least here in the US the test results can take up to 24 hours. We won’t have that extra time to wait for the results. Does the cruise line offer them in England? Is it offered at the Gatwick or Heathrow airport?

You can get tests with results within 3 hours at most U.K. airports, eg https://www.collinsongroup.com/en/covid-19-testing

Of course all bets are off as to what will be required next year - I’d try to ensure your plans can be flexible to accommodate changes
