It's Canada's cruise rules. I just arrived in Vancouver today from the US and got the email saying I have to go in for random Covid test by the end of the day tomorrow! It looks like I'm here a week too soon. Messed up my plans for tomorrow. ~Nancy

I’m getting it for just me but I’ll come back on Friday afternoon Vancouver time and let you know.

I went to OnPoint today and it said it’s “sold out”! So I followed advice from our Canadian friends and booked an appointment for Friday with lifecenters.ca. Done and done! CAD $20=$14.95 USD.

Oops, replied at the same time as @Btimmer!! Hello @margail1. Are you embarking on the Panama Canal cruise on the Nieuw Amsterdam or Noordam on October 2nd? I'm getting ready to leave early tomorrow, so can't dig deeper to help you but start here: If you are vaccinated, Canada will also accept a rapid antigen test within two days of embarkation. (See the ArriveCAN official Canada requirements in the link below.) You could do one online with your own approved covid test which is what I'm doing. ($18 plus test kit cost which was free from US government at OnPoint Testing site) or go to one of the covid test sites in Vancouver. Google will list them. The rapid antigen tests are much cheaper than PCR. COVID-19: Cruise ship travel requirements – Travel.gc.ca Travel to Canada: Requirements for COVID-19 vaccinated travellers Here's a link to the roll calls for Noordam and Nieuw Amsterdam. If not already on it I suggest reading it because it should have lots of info on the requirements for ArriveCAN and the pre boarding testing info. Good luck and if you are on Nieuw Amsterdam, I'll see you on the 2nd!! ~Nancy

Oh, okay, thanks. I wasn't looking at the Navigator App. I will never take a one day cruise, but I was just curious too! ~Nancy

I don't understand. Can you elaborate? Can one get a one-day beverage package....yes or no?
