Rare orville99 Posted June 10, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Just to clarify, the announcement was this morning. The requirement will be lifted effective this Sunday. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/10/biden-administration-to-drop-covid-testing-requirements-for-international-air-travel.html Edited June 10, 2022 by orville99 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovesthebeach2 Posted June 10, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Great news! It made no sense that we needed to take a test when we flew back from Italy last month, when anyone could fly anywhere inside the country without a test or mask. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob63005 Posted June 10, 2022 #6 Share Posted June 10, 2022 That sure makes my Alaska cruise that ends in Vancouver easier. Now if Royal would drop the test between the Land tour and the cruise or at least provide testing like a B2B. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada dropped testing requirements to enter but you need to fill out ArriveCanada documents and there is random testing at the airports. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shona_winelover Posted June 10, 2022 #14 Share Posted June 10, 2022 This is amazing news for us, we travel to Miami from the UK in 3 weeks and we have been quite apprehensive about the need to test beforehand. I can now relax and look forward to our trip. Still need to test to board the cruise but at least I am getting to Florida right? 😄 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, we fly over Wednesday night and have testing set for Wed morning to board Friday. Ohhhhh I will be taking them anyways for sure, they are packed in the carryon already. Nice to know we won't be stuck in London for 10 days thought. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
