breezer Posted June 14, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I will be sailing on Mariner soon. Has anyone used Any Lab Test Now, and if so, are the results acceptable for Royal? There is one on Merritt Island that charges $100 for rapid antigen test. The one close to me in South Carolina charges $69. They don't accept insurance. Thanks for any help.

They are free via the drive-thru and Walgreens doesn't even ask for insurance. Results e-mailed in under 2 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breezer Posted June 14, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Yes, Walgreens is my first choice. Just looking for a Plan B if for some reason Walgreens doesn't work out. Thanks for responding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plan B or C might be a proctored telehealth session with a home test kit - $10-20. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can also make backup appointments if you have a CVS nearby offering rapid antigen tests in minute clinic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, I would never pay that, you can do it at home, tele proctored, for a fraction of the price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have done eMed home test for all of our cruises. Fast. Easy. Efficient. We take a test while sipping coffee at the kitchen table and have test results within a minute of showing the proctor our negative results. Best yet, when we file a claim, our insurance company covers 100% of the cost of the home test = Free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyac Posted June 16, 2022 #10 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I used both Walgreens and CVS in Cocoa Beach for my March/April cruises.

I fly out early to Barcelona, too early to be able to go to a Walgreens. Do you know if the emed test can be done at 6am? Not sure if the medical professionals are working 24 hours or between certain times. Edited June 16, 2022 by stacynray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
