Carnival Freedom and COVID tests for Canadians

[Baxter1234]

We are sailing on the Freedom on April 3 and wonder where about the experience of Canadians getting COVID tests pre-sailing.  I received a quote for $100+ for rapid tests at CVS and wonder if this is the norm.

 

Any advice you can provide is appreciated!

Where are you sailing out of? 
and when are we flying? 
 

I am still planning to try CVS but we have purchases SwitchHealth antigen tests for the return trip. I will use them if I have to and order some more proctored tests for the return tests. We will have 3 days before sailing so should have time to have them delivered express to the hotel.

I'm boardng on March 5th, my flight is on the evening of friday March 4th. My rapid test is in the morning of march 4th in a private clinic, so it will be valid for both the flight and the cruise.
