My understanding is that you will be responsible for your own test. You can get it in YVR cruise terminal or airport -- just don't book an early flight. Could also do proctored test if ship has Wi-Fi -- bring your own test. Finally , could get around the need for test if take bus to Seattle and fly home within US from there. Can you tell I've done a lot of research? For the price we pay on SS I think they could have coughed for a test. Frankly, had I realized the extent of this hassle I doubt I would have booked!

Today I called the Egan Convention Center in Anchorage as I had read a press release saying Covid tests for passengers are available there. The woman I spoke to confirmed that they do offer Covid tests, and Siversea passengers were eligible (cost to passenger approx $90.) I don't know whether the test is Antigen or PCR, but I suspect antigen. Phone for Egan Center is (907)263-2800 -- might want to phone to reconfirm my info as this stuff seems to change daily. I would be nice if SS could see their way to publish this info...

I believe SS "healthy return to sailing" shows 48 hours for rapid antigen and 72 hours for PC-R. If your papers say 24 hours, then I am totally SOL. I will going into Seward a day before the cruise and there is apparently no testing available to me in Seward. Capri 73, please post what you find out -- I'm starting to really get nervous! I leave on 7/5 from home.

Where is the Beacon Covid testing site in Seward I am unable to find it. TIA

Has Silversea eliminated pierside Covid testing as of April 30 as threatened? Or are they still doing testing, but perhaps for a fee? I am particularly interested in Seward, AK. TIA, Margery
