I know Royal allows water, pop and wine to be brought on board in limited quantities. Will they allow protein shakes in tetrapacks?

Looks like it won’t be an issue 

Thanks everyone

Canada no longer requies vaccination to fly into Canada .

They are Canadian travelling from vancouver on Princess to Alaska.

When we sailed last Fall from Vancouver to Alaska, we had to download our “vaccination certificate” to the Medallion App.

I agree with all of you that this is confusing however, that may all change soon as rumours are floating around the USA are about to drop this requirement soon ???  Cross your fingers.

As stated in #5 “go and get your shot”. We have received 5 booster shots so far and were still living and all is well.  😀

thanks. For the record I’ve had 5 vaccine shots. I agree with your general sentiment. 

So weird how confusing this is! Seems like something that would be very clear. 😁

Makes sense. Still seems so odd to me Princess would have that “mis”information on their main website for Covid information if it’s not accurate. 🤷

Thanks for all the comments. 
 

they tried the checking noted above but it’s too early. 
 

it’s so weird the only source suggesting you must be vaccinated is Princess’ own site. 
 

It’s a bummer if it’s just an outdated site.

No she won't need to be vaccinated.  The US is only requiring that for foreign travelers entering by air.  
Edit to add: she might need to be if she flies into the states.  
But cruises from Vancouver would be fine.

that’s what I thought but last paragraph of Princess site says this. It’s confusing. 
 

Hello 

a friend is looking to take an Alaska cruise in September leaving from Vancouver but her mom isn’t vaccinated.  It’s confusing online if you need to be. It looks like the princess line doesn’t require proof but maybe US customs will for non-US citizens? They are Canadian. 
 

anyone know for sure?

thanks 

I assume you can get off almost as soon as the ship docks at 6 am? Do I need to line up early?

Self disembark, use a uber, you will be in the airport by 8am wondering what to do for three hours.  Add to that RD64 contribution and Wow when things go wrong they go very wrong..

Thanks that is what I was thinking too. What’s rd64?

Disembarking a cruise in Seattle in may. Cruise arrives 6 am. I had flight booked for 1:30 pm but airline just moved it to 11:10 am. 
 

think there is any chance I can make it? 
 

We just rented a scooter from this place for our cruise in May. 
 

https://scootaround.com/en

they deliver it to your room and at end of cruise you drive it off and leave it at port. 
 

was $450 for a 10 day cruise. 
 

My bother is travelling separately from me but we are on same reservation. Can we board at different times or do we have to do so at same time being on the same reservation? 

Thanks. 

Looks like you get a discount the more devices you buy up to 4. Can four different people use them?We have two rooms booked for 2 people each. If one buys the 4 devices can each of us use one or do we each to have to buy our own access?

Anyone know if ovation of the seas in Alaska has Starlink?

hey everyone. I asked in the roll call but thought I would try here too. 
 

1) logged into cruise planner and it says it has a sale ending tomorrow. Do I really need to rush and book everything or will there be another sale? We just booked today so would prefer to have a little to plan. Lol 
 

2) anyone know why we leave vancouver but come back to Seattle? How does this help RC? I am just curious of the reasoning for leaving one port and coming back to another. 
 

thanks for any help! 
 

Update on how to fix app. 
 

you have to go into your AppStore. 
go to your previous purchases
Find ArriveCan app

force update

Then it removes the screen requiring you to agree to test. 
 

if you do not force app to update it does not show up..

80%+ of users will not know this. Lol not forcing an app update at the server side.

It is poorly explained. One has to drill down quite far to access their own personal situation.  Taking their instruction at surface levels doesn’t make it ‘user’ error…..consider that everyone reads and interprets differently and may not think like you do. The ‘rules’ can be better explained, IMHO.

That but also the app is plainly wrong. It forces you to agree to get tested.

Unvaccinated people, e.g. children, still need a pre-entry test.

It seems that many people immediately assume system error and don't consider user error.

 

 

That’s not what the app says right now. 
 

this is what it says.

We are cruising to Alaska from Vancouver in May. As we will not likely buy ship internet, we will do our ArriveCan while onshore in Ketchikan, and use the web version.  I read 72 hours before, so assume that means no sooner than 72 hours, or does it mean no less than 72 hours. Can someone set us straight?

Looking forward to first cruise since Nov.  2019. It is the ArrivCan that has us tied in knots.

It’s anytime within 72 hours. So can be the hour before theoretically but I would recommend as early as you can within that 72 hours.

Also, on the Arrivals page modified yesterday, it says one must provide proof of a valid pre-entry test result. I thought that ended?  Are they talking about the non-vaccinated?  
Confusion reigns. 

It seems like just plain old gross incompetence. I just double checked and the main Canadian government site clearly says you do not need testing. They are just too stupid to update the app.  It has to be confusing hundreds of thousands of travellers! 

Anyone know why the app still makes you sign an agreement to get tested before boarding your flight?

how incompetent can the government be for crying out loud!
