Covid19 test needed before boarding plane to Canada

[melk]

We complete our cruise on Enchanted Princess on Dec. 20 and are scheduled to fly back home at 2:20 same day. How do we get a rapid antigen test prior to the flight? Are they available aboard Enchanted? Or in Fort Lauderdale Airport?

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Canada needs a PCR test not rapid antigen.  Looks like both will be available.  I would suggest you keep checking the FAQ though just in case.  FLL also offers testing for which you can book an appointment.  And remember the Arrivecan app for your phone.

 

According to Princes FAQ

Yes, if a negative COVID-19 test is required for re-entry into your home country, Princess will cover the costs of a COVID-19 test administered within the timeframe required prior to travel.

Guests should disembark the ship, collect their luggage, clear customs and exit the terminal for testing. COVID-19 tests will be administered just outside the terminal. Antigen test results will be available in approximately 30 minutes and PCR test results will be available in approximately 60 minutes; please plan your post-cruise travel arrangements accordingly.

Guests are encouraged to review their home country’s health authority and travel websites to understand the latest guidance on required testing and timing for return travel.
