So the testing for us coming from UK continues to be very difficult to source. There doesnt seem to be any testing at the airport, only through security into departures. So it seems onpoint is very popular with testing however the next hurdle is where can we buy the tests. The majority appear to be postal however, they do not post to the UK. We are staying Seawall side and arrive 3 days before cruising, any ideas where we can get them please?

You can go to any pharmacy even the ones in Walmart and Target and buy an antigen test. Just don't open it till they tell you to when on the teleservice call.

We have had good success using the home testing service recommended by RCCL. When we travel internationally we purchase the tests ahead of time and do the testing in the hotel day prior to embarking. Make sure the hotel has WIFI, which is needed to conduct the test. Most recently we cruised from Stockholm, Sweden and we did the testing there. You can order eMed Test Kit from “store.optum.com” for $69.99 per two tests. Test is Abbott BinaxNOW.
