Planning ahead for my March cruise and it looks like booking for the Rapid ID Now tests at Walgreens is only 3 days ahead rather than 7 like it was for us a few weeks ago. Can anyone else confirm?
 
yes, i noticed the same thing. It's been like that for a few weeks now the change from 7 days to 3 days window.
 
So now I'm going to have to try and book a test while on the cruise. Bummer!
 
When I booked in September it was 3 days then. If they did go to 7 it wasn't for long.
 

I'm heading down for March too. I'm expecting the Covid numbers to be better there than here (Ontario) by then; last weeks numbers were 30% less than the previous and I'm thinking they will continue to plummet. I think Walgreen's change from a 7 to 3 day booking window due to high demand...so maybe they changg back to 7 days by then?

Does the cruiseline not offer post cruise testing? Only a few do this, I noticed. But Disney just announced they are now doing this.
 
Carnival doesn't provide any testing. Walgreens is the best free option, just somewhat unreliable.
 
Over Christmas they were at 7 days when I went down, and within the last 3 weeks have switched to 3 days, I'm watching closely because I need to re-book again for Feb 17th.
 
Does anyone know what time Walgreens appointment times load in the night? Or is it different for each location?
Thanks!

As far as I know it's just after midnight. When I did my booking at Christmas, the new appt. times loaded about 12:45am. At least that was my experience - don't know if things have changed since then.
