cwms Posted March 3, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Getting on Pride of America next month and have to have a negative PCR test no more than 2 days before departure. Will be staying in Waikiki for a couple days ahead of the cruise. Any suggestions on getting the test? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted March 3, 2022 #2 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Sure about that? Things are changing very rapidly in Hawaii. Particularly on March 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the option of an antigen test and it can be a proctored self test. https://www.ncl.com/sail-safe?intcmp=pdt_sl_SAILSAFEVAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leela Posted March 4, 2022 #7 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Depending on what time your incoming flight arrives at Honolulu, perhaps you can schedule yourself an appointment at the airport. The County of Honolulu runs a testing site outside of security, so pick up your baggage first. It's only open from 9am-5pm though, so if your flight gets in too late that won't work for you. They do RT-PCR tests for $140 each for non-residents of the County. Go to https://oahucitypass.lumisight.com and scroll down and look for "For Non-Prepaid by City and County of Honolulu."

Travelexpert35 Posted March 5, 2022 #8 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I saw that CVS Long Drugs at Ala Moana Shopping Centre does testing. You may want to check them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnin50 Posted April 13, 2022 #10 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Does anyone know if there's a place to test closer to Kalakaua Ave than the shopping center mentioned above? We're staying post cruise 2 nights at the Moana Surfrider and won't have a car, walking distance would be nice. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ala Moana shopping center is walkable from Waikiki, assuming you are ok with a 1.5 -2 mile walk.. if not the Waikiki trolley goes from Waikiki to the Ala Moana mall.

zounds Posted April 19, 2022 #13 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Can anyone confirm NCL's letter stating that testing can be done at the pier for a fee ? If so, how much is it ? Thanks very much. We're sailing May 28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacII Posted May 1, 2022 #14 Share Posted May 1, 2022 What about these online Proctored tests? Do they work? We're arriving two days before we sail so I'm wondering if the hot setup is to just do one of the online tests the day before we sail... Are only certain companies "authorized" for NCL?

IMO the online proctored tests are the best option. Many passengers use either the eMed or Inspire Diagnostics tests. NCL permits you to use any test that satisfies the requirements laid out on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruff Posted July 5, 2022 #17 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Has anyone used Nomi Health located on Ala Moana Blvd for COVID testing? I believe it is free, they take insurance, they have rapid antigen tests and you can register for an appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
