Where do I get self admin. tests in Florida that NCL approves

[glentally]

I have not been vaccinated and I know I need to do a test at home. I don't want to get the wrong one.

[FlGoodShips]

We got ours at Walgreens. Don't remember the brand, but just asked the pharmacist and they helped us pick one.

Just make sure that whatever you do also complies with requirements for foreign ports on your cruise.

We use E-med. They are recommended as one of the at-home tests on the NCL Sailsafe site. Last time I looked they were $69.00 for 2, and $150.00 for 6. Plus shipping. Don't know if you can buy them at your local pharmacy. They are not available in stores where I live.

[Shellbelle28]

I second ordering from E-med.
