SeeZee Posted March 9, 2022 #4 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Thank you for this post. We are on RCCL out of Baltimore to NE/Canada in Aug 2022. I realize we have to arrange for our own testing to board the ship, but I hope that RCCL will arrange for any testing we need to disembark for touring in St. John and Halifax.

Nanatravel Posted March 10, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I just got a personal email from Princess cruise lines about their upcoming Alaska/Canadian and New England/Canadian cruises. It looks like you will be able to do your pre-embarkation Covid 19 PCR test days (72 hours) or Rapid Antigen test up to 24 hours before sailing. (This is how it was for our recent Caribbean cruise except for the length of pre-cruise time. Ports or islands who demanded a Covid test 24 hours before in transit disembarkation were skipped.) It sounded like no further on-board testing would be required as long as you are fully vaccinated and are showing no signs of illness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for a clarification. On our cruise and at Canadian ports, we will be in transit returning to Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - and if you test positive, it says you quarantine in Canada for 14-days before you can fly home. That would be a total deal breaker for our cruise out of Vancouver. Can't risk getting stuck in Canada for 2 weeks. I sure hope there is some clarification/modification to that aspect of their requirements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't risk getting stuck in a hotel room in Vancouver during the last few weeks of summer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I don't think a return to the US counts as in transit, as you will be leaving the port and entering the country in order to access the airport.

Sorry but No Daisy, we continue on our cruise with port stops both in Canadian territory and USA back to Boston. That's what in-transit means. It is not a One Way cruise that I am on. Now some do cruises like that often out of NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
