Covid test

[antsp]

We arrive in the USA on 1 March to sail on the sky b2b, I now cvs are doing Covid test (free) with results for a lft within a few hours, I'm guessing this will be OK to present the results at the pier.

Yes, you give them the results at the pier.   

 

You will need an appointment at CVS but make sure the test you are getting is one accepted by Princess and that you will receive the results within 2 days of departure:

 

Guests must be tested with a SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) viral test that could be either an antigen test or a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT).

• Antigen tests include:
  • Rapid antigen test
  • Viral antigen test
  • Antigen Chromatographic Digital Immunoassay,
  • Antigen Chemiluminescence Immunoassay, or
  • Antigen Lateral Flow Fluorescence
• NAAT include:
  • PCR - Polymerase chain reaction
  • RT-PCR – reverse transcription real time PCR
  • Quantitative PCR (qPCR)
  • Reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) test
  • Transcription-mediated amplification (TMA) test
  • Molecular test or molecular diagnostic test
  • Isothermal amplification
  • Droplet Digital PCR or digital droplet PCR (ddPCR)
  • Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)

 

Double-check the Princess website when your cruise gets closer to be sure they have not changed anything.   And have a Plan B for backup to get your test just in case...

You can book up to two weeks out. Website also states, "Not accepted for all purposes, so be sure to check with venue, destination or airline." Princess accepts this test, however.

So what is the best answer to schedule a test at CVS?

I don't see the "travel" option that I used for cruise in Nov.

There isn't one. Just schedule the rapid antigen option within 2 days of cruising and you'll be good.
