What is the testing requirement for your cruise line? 48 hours? You could take the test before you leave your home town.

We are coming from uk and as we are spending two nights in Miami need to retest before boarding. We are going to test at Miami airport it’s open 24 hours a day for walk in appointments.

 I have reservations pre-cruise at the EB Hotel in Miami. They told me they have a Covid testing site right next to their parking lot so that sounds convenient especially since I will not have a car.

Get some Binax Now Ag Monitored tests and do them at your hotel.

Go to curative.com.  Broward county has free testing in several locations including Miami, Hollywood  & Ft.  Lauderdale . Appointments are made online, and Princess accepted their NAAT rapid test. Everyone was pleasant and helpful, and we had our results in about15 minutes. The cost of a taxi ride to get to the testing site is way less than the cost of tests in other locations.  We were surprised that the tests were for anyone, not just Broward county residents.

Thanks for that tip!  I might book that as a backup in case there is something wrong with the home test

I think I read that this is only for US citizens so that leaves us paying for tests but that’s ok. As long as it gets us on our cruise we’ll be more than happy.

My cruise goes off Mar 26. I was told that to get tested at the Port of Miami would be around $125.

Does Curative only schedule 2 weeks out?

I tried to schedule a tset and it only goues until March 20th.

Also any of the rapid tests through them work for Carnival ?

 

Thanks.

Arrive in Ft. Lauderdale on 6th April and sailing on 8th April. We are staying at The Westin Ft. Lauderdale for two nights. Is there a testing facility close to the Westin hotel? We just want certainty in our plans. Travelling from UK on 1 April to New York to visit family before transatlantic cruise.

Perhaps you could contact the Westin directly and ask them about a testing facility close to the hotel.
