How would you provide 'proof' of the negative test without having it done by an independent and qualified third party?

Are you sure about that? Here is an excerpt from Canadian government website regarding cruises staying in Canada or not returning to Canada: Cruises that are staying in Canadian waters or not returning to Canada All travellers are required to take a pre-embarkation COVID-19 test before embarking on a cruise in Canada, even if the cruise ship is not leaving Canadian waters Travellers who are staying within Canada throughout their entire journey or who are leaving Canada and not returning don’t have to complete ArriveCAN.

Why do you persist in clouding up the process, and losing your focus, with a bunch of irrelevant moaning about the Canadian government's requirement(s) to complete ArriveCAN twice?

Yes, that ought to do it. Also, it should be a canada.ca website.

Yes, I guess it will.

You uploaded your proof of vaccination into ArriveCAN and now you're OK there. The pre-embarkation covid test results will be shown to the cruise line agent when you board; this is a somewhat different requirement related to the medical declaration of health that the ship must submit to Canadian authorities as part of gaining clearance to enter Canada. So... no uploading of covid results into ArriveCAN.

The ArriveCAN application 'told' you that a pre-embarkation covid test is not required?

No need to be rude, especially when somebody has tried to explain the requirement for ArriveCAN submissions, which is what the confusion was/is about. Whether you use a cell phone, tablet, PC or semaphore is not the issue... those are only the means of doing it. Enjoy yourself.

I don't agree with the interpretation that @cruiseryyc has provided about the need for a second ArriveCAN submission. The way I see it is that you need: 1. The first submission to come to Canada by air. You have indicated that you've no problem with that; 2. A second submission in advance of boarding the cruise ship. Even though you are arriving in Vancouver and boarding shortly (a few hours I suppose) after arrival. This is a different ArriveCAN activity than flying in and just because it's within the 72 hour timeframe doesn't mean the first submission covers this off. The first submission is for entry to Canada, the second is for boarding the ship (and returning to Canada). Don't forget you all need a covid test prior to boarding. If you can't do both ArriveCAN submissions prior to leaving LAX (perhaps the application will not permit this, I don't know), I suggest you turn your phone on in Vancouver and pay the daily roaming fee to ensure you conplete the necessary ArriveCAN applications. You've already spent enough time, energy and money on all of this so that an extr $10 or so to ensure you are OK is well worth it.

Mid-October. This is not cruise related travel!

Yikes!!! How do you know in advance what your bill will be or is this an 'estimated' monthly average?

How would knowing the answer to this change anything for a person who comes down ill?

I hope the OP doesn't mind, but I have a couple questions on a slightly off-topic situation. I want to make my way from London to Glasgow and have identified a couple of options: 1. Kings Cross to Edinburgh to Glasgow Queen (LNER and ScotRail); 2. Euston to Glasgow Central (Avanti West Coast). Getting to EUS or KGX makes no difference to me. They're both about the same price for First Class travel. Obviously, option 2 is a little less time consuming, but not a great deal and I am in no rush. Also, my hotel in Glasgow is very nearby the Glasgow Queen station so getting there easily is a minor consideration. Anybody have any recommendations on the best route to take for enjoying some of the views?

Read the instructions. Where does it say that you have to be in Canada to complete ArriveCAN prior to boarding the cruise ship? Just do it before you leave home. As for a third submission, if the cruise is a round trip, then not required.

Read the instructions. Have a nice trip.

Because that is what you need to do. Entering Canada by land or air before embarking on a cruise You must complete your ArriveCAN submission before entering Canada, no more than 72 hours of boarding your flight or before entering Canada by land. If you’re flying in to join a cruise immediately, enter the address of your terminal. If you’re not joining the cruise immediately, enter the address of your hotel. You must also submit a second ArriveCAN submission no more than 72 hours before boarding the cruise. This applies even if your second ArriveCAN submission is within 72 hours of the first submission.6

I'm on the Canadian site. If I go to the very bottom of the welcome page and over to the right I can change language from/to English and French. Maybe it's because of the two official languages requirement for Canada but why not see what you get.... perhaps they provide English as an alternate to Spanish.

I was in contact with Farmacia Palombo... they do them https://www.farmaciediturno.org/farmacia.asp?idf=9172 Also, my hotel in Civi is going to hook me up with Centro Diagnostico https://www.cdbuonarroti.it/

I don't believe Princess is alone in the testing requirement for cruises with Greece on the itinerary. I have an upcoming Celebrity cruise and here is their current test protocol:

That may, on the surface, appear to be true however, I suspect Princess (and any other ship) wishing to get clearance to enter Greece is required to pre-submit some official version of a maritime declaration of health. On that, the Commanding Officer would have to make attestations regarding vaccination, testing and current illnesses onboard the ship. Just because a Greek authority doesn't ask to view a person's test results doesn't mean it hasn't been looked at and verified.

It's the usual thing.... no test if arriving by 'land, air or sea'. Although the sea part should really be water and it should be explained that arriving by water does not include cruise ship travel.

Perhaps you should keep an eye on the following website and plan accordingly over the course of the next few months depending on how things may or may not change.. https://www.gov.bm/cruise-travel-authorisation#

Sorry, no idea. I just copied the information off the Government of Canada website; unfortunately, I cannot 'add value' to it.

Yes. Here is a list of acceptable tests: Accepted types of tests Molecular tests PCR - Polymerase chain reaction Nucleic acid test (NAT) or Nucleic acid amplification test (NAATs) Reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) These tests use methods such as a nasopharyngeal (NP) swab, nose swab, or saliva sample. Other acceptable types of molecular tests: Antigen tests Your antigen test must be administered or observed by a laboratory or testing provider. Phrases indicating a test is an antigen test could include, but is not limited to: rapid antigen test viral antigen test diagnostic immunoassay lateral flow test (LFT) also could be noted as an Antigen Chromatographic Digital Immunoassay, Antigen Chemiluminescence Immunoassay, or Antigen Lateral Flow Fluorescence
