there is a place in Orlando that does exactly what I need. I'm trying to find a place closer. I checked with my cruise line and it wants a PCR test. But thank you anyway.

I, too, am in the same "boat," (pardon the pun!). Our cruise next weekend accepts the rapid test and I was able to find a CVS down in Clermont that will do it and guarantee results within 48 hours of sail, as mandated by the cruiseline. You can't book any longer than 13 days out and it took me being online on that particular website from midnight until after 2 a.m. on the13th day to get my husband and me booked for that test to satisfy the cruiseline's requirements. BS?? For sure!! I could test negative 48 hours out and then positive at 72 hours for all we know, BUT, those are the hoops we jump through to be able to live our lives despite Covid. I also had no interest in paying $175/pp (as I'd heard someone did over in Winter Park) for the test, just to be able to satisfy these requirements. IMO, if the cruiselines is mandating negative testing to cruise, they should be providing said tests at the pier at no cost to you! In a perfect world, huh?? Good luck to you in finding the testing you need in the time frame you need it done!!

not the rapid test, the PCR rapid test....there used to be one on 441 near WAWA that is now permanently closed...I would have to go down to Orlando for this particular test where I can get the results in an hour.

any information for this test that you might have would be helpful..

thank you,

OP has a good question for travel by plane etc and some countries one must have a PCR test not just the rapid one. Anyone know where near TV one could get it?

Ok, I looked in it. Which I should have before farming out the question…duh…

CVS on county road 466 will do molecular PCR and other tests. You need to book on line CVS.com/Covid - appointments go quickly.

Paramount Urgent Care on 466 does rapid tests. I had my results in about an hour. Be prepared to wait a few hours, tho, it can be crowded. ( After you register, you wait in your car.)

Go to the Discount Pharmacy on SR 44-- between Brownwood and 301, on the north side of SR44. It's in Freedom Plaza. The Rapid Antigen Test takes about 5 minutes. It costs $8.10 with Insurance (Medicare, Part D). Other Insurances cover this too. The Cruise Lines accept this.
