No.

You could take the Union Pearson Express train from the airport to Union Station then get a city taxi from there to your hotel. Easier (and probably much cheaper) than trying to organize a transfer. It may take a few minutes longer but not much and if there are traffic issues coning into Toronto you may be glad you chose the train.

What are you confused about? You don't need a test to come to Canada by land, sea or water. However, the water part does not include cruise ships which are treated much differently. Generally, you will need a test of you're boarding a cruise ship with a stop in Canada or a cruise ship embarking passengers in Canada.

Don't count on it for this season at least.

Seems a little optimistic....

You pay when you take the test.

Sure, I'd be willing to do it.

Hidden calories? At that pace I'd say they're forgotten calories.

I guess by 'WE' you meant Americans. You're not that special... Canadians are just as inconvenienced once we cross the border. Oh, don't forget that not so distant past when everybody entering the US by air had to be tested; there are plenty of inconveniences to share around and I suspect some of them will become solidly entrenched (much like post 9/11 at airports).

Well done and thank you for your grudging cooperation.

The rapid antigen test must be taken within two days of embarkation. So, if you embark on a Saturday, the test can be taken on Thursday at the earliest.

You may agree with him but it appears as though you did not understand what he said.

I'm sure the guide has a few unusual things in mind and you'll enjoy yourself. If you go anywhere promising 'Danseuses' be prepared to tip generously.

Within 72 hours prior to boarding.

With the ship moving at 18 knots or so and the diameter of hose required to suck up enough cold water they'd have to weigh the end down with one of the ship's anchors and that produces too much drag.

The guide is taking you outside Montreal (off the island)? To see what?

You seem pretty certain that your insurance company will pay the claim.

I find it strange that full payment would be required prior to any cancellation penalty phase kicks in but, for the sake of argument, let's go with it. I wouldn't fork over thousands of dollars without some sort of insurance no matter what the cruise line may say on the matter. That seems too risky to me.

Here is an excerpt from the RCCL Cruise Ticket Contract: Passengers are solely responsible to maintain in their possession all passports, visas and other travel documents required for embarkation, travel and disembarkation at all ports of call. Passengers assume full responsibility to determine through their travel agent or the appropriate government authority the necessary documents. Passenger agrees to provide to Carrier (at Carrier’s reasonable request) any travel documents. Carrier shall return such travel documents to Passenger by no later than the end of the Cruise. Seems to me you are on very thin ice. The booking agent isn't really a seasoned travel agent and, in any event, making sure you have all the correct travel documents is your responsibility and with the unusual birth certificate situation you seem to be aware you have well... You're probably correct that the agent at the 'exception desk' had a busy and stressful day. Good luck pursuing this one.

Sorry, when crossing the Atlantic from/to the Mediterranean from/to North America the sun is always going to be south of the ship.

Check-in to get a boarding time.

Perhaps he was referring only to bacon-related fights!?

More detail on your plans/itinerary/nationality is necessary to answer your question.

I've done it at a Shoppers in Ottawa. Maybe you can't book an appointment at this specific SDM because, despite what they may lead you to believe, they don't offer online bookings.
