We are currently on the Enchanted Princess out of Ft Lauderdale and had our COVID test done at the pier. You had to prepay.

most cruise lines accept an antigen test; the 15 minute test. I know Princess and Celebrity accept monitored antigen tests. You can get that done several places including the site on 466 near the Hampton Inn.

We were pleased with the prompt testing at Villages Discount Pharmacy. The 48 hour requirement for our cruise a month ago was easily scheduled there and no problems with Holland America accepting their results. I'd give their phone number but don't have time to look for it now. They will be OK with the time to meet your needs though.

There is a testing site on 466 directly across from Laurel Manor. No reservations needed. Just from casual observation while driving by on the MMP, they appear to be not busy. Also, I was tested last Friday and drove right in. No waiting at all.

We're going on a cruise in a month on Celebrity and they sent us an email with a link to Optum to order a self-administered test. They even are supposed to include live video instruction on using the results. This was for vaccinated passengers, of course, and it ran about $70 for 2 tests. Optum Store | Optum Store Not sure if this would for for other cruise lines but maybe you can check out Optum's website to find out.

We were able to schedule PCR tests for a cruise at [email protected] and then go to schedule a COV-19 test.

Default Antigen test reservation

Exceptional Urgent Care on Rt. 441 in Lady Lake takes reservations. They are in the strip mall in front of Beall’s next to Takis.

We just came back from a cruise. We went to CVS and had ours done. We used the one on 466, they book up fast so we had to go on the website at about 12:30 am on the day you want the test and book our test. Had our test got our results in a text message followed to the site and took a picture of the results with camera on phone. There is also a PDF that you can print out. We have another cruise in April and will do the same thing.
