The reason they are not busy is because they charge for testing.

All Walgreen's offer the test, we did the quick PCR test and got the results within about 2 hours by email and Royal Carribean accepted the tests.

We have used American Urgent Care in Wildwood for the last two cruises. No appointments needed. Just walk in, pay and you get results before you leave.

Walgreens does them, but you must have an appointment, which fill up fast. Results are very quick...got ours in less than an hour.

CVS and Wallgreens both take appointments for PCR tests it can take 48 hours to get results back. You can get the antigen test at Walgreens and get your results the same day. I suggest you go that route.

CVS does a great job but you have to sign up on line

We had a Celebrity cruise scheduled on Jan.2 and because of the holiday CVS was not testing 2 days before we left. We used the place on 466 just east of Buena Vista. We had a reservation but it wasn't busy when we arrived at 8:30am. In order to get our results within 24 hrs. it cost us about $100. We got an email with our results that night. It was nice having that out of the way when we hopped on the cruise express the morning of the cruise.

Walgreens. Make appointment online a week in advance to get the day & time you need. Stay in your car. It's very fast. Get the result via email in less than 24 hours. I did it 2 weeks ago.

The FDA/CDC recalled the PCR test for it's very high false positive rate. This test can not detect for covid19-20-21-or 22

Go to Walgreens.com site and book your test online. I got my results in 2-3 hrs. Was traveling to Europe for a cruise.

Village Discount Pharmacy, excellent service no problem. We had our test late last year prior to a trip to the UK, made an appointment in and out in minutes.

We are on a celebrity cruise right now. They sent us to Covid test a week before the cruise. Check with your cruise line 1st.

CVS on 466. Go online to CVS covid testing. You can only go on, no more than 13 days before your cruise to book the test say on a Saturday if you're leaving on a Monday. Fill out form on phone or computer, print email you get with confirmation #. We've done it on a Sat and got our results on Sunday afternoon. My friend did it on a weekday and got hers back in 3 hours, depends on how busy they are. Bon voyage!
