Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted March 3, 2022 #5 Share Posted March 3, 2022 The Alaska delegation is trying to accomplish the same thing it did last year where Canada can be skipped. In the article I read about it, the goal is for this summer cruise season to be a full-fledged Alaska Cruise season, which, in my mind, would mean the one way cruises again. Nothing has been voted on though so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeachAloha Posted March 3, 2022 #6 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Can someone post a link so I can get some info? We have a Vancouver RT cruise scheduled and can not find any new (to us) updates to the travel restrictions currently in place? Should we start a backup plan?

I have a similar cruise - the only thing I could find is 100% vaccinated for crew and passengers which I wouldn’t think would be that hard for celebrity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like details are still being worked, but full vaccination with very limited exceptions, and testing before entering Canada. Whether the second will apply to a return to Vancouver or a stop in Victoria after a stop in Alaska may be TBD. There's a link in the article to the Canadian documents. https://www.cruisecritic.com/news/6787/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix_dream Posted March 3, 2022 #11 Share Posted March 3, 2022 The key factor here, and what could impact the entire Canada/Alaska cruise possibility is the requirement of testing before entering Canada, or re-entering Canada for cruises that start in Vancouver . Cruise lines are just not going to be offering that - it is too expensive and too time consuming. If Canada doesn't change their mind on that part we will be sailing out of Seattle again with an exception to the law once more. Hopefully it can be worked out.

katisha Posted April 16, 2022 #12 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Celebrity Silhouette departing Vancouver roundtrip on 15 May 2022. Embarkation requires antigen test within 2 days beforehand. Cruise is part of multistage trip, so will be in Vancouver hotel (near Canada Place departure terminal) for three days prior to boarding. Any recommendations on cheapest/most convenient private testing location would be appreciated. (Information from Celebrity suggests that pre-arrival testing can be done by purchasing the following: MONITORED SELF-TEST KIT - ABBOTT BINAXNOWTM COVID-19 AG CARD When I pursued this option, I found that it is biased towards US travellers - seems to ship only to US addresses, and accepts US based payment methods). Has anyone tried to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone tried to do this? have you considered buying a supervised test kit from the uk before you travel - taking it with you and scheduling an appointment to be tested by teams/zoom whilst in canada the day before boarding eclipse??? only asking because its what we are thinking of doing and wanted input from someone else on whether it was feasible....
