Which test for kids?

Curious what your test results say that you’ve used for kids needing to test 3 days prior to sailing. I hear people using Walgreens but my sisters test didn’t say PCR, it said NAAT. Inspire has said it needs to say PCR. Want to make sure we get the right one.

Different Walgreens do PCR. Similarly, CVS has both PCR and rapid tests. So you need to confirm that what you book is a PCR and know that the same provider may have multiple options.

The place we’d been testing at has said it’s a PCR but when I asked for the lab printout it doesn’t say PCR. I think we will pay for rapid PCR just to be sure

Our Walgreens test specifically said PCR on the lab printout. We needed a PCR test to return to Canada in August and our Walgreens test was accepted no problem.

what counts as the 72 hours? If I cruise on a Saturday can we start the testing window on Wednesday or Thursday?
