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.

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.

Just saw that 2 minutes ago, thanks Jane

 

Great news for our Baltics trip this summer

You still need to test to get into Canada.

Great news - now we just need the cruise lines to drop this requirement as well.

Canada dropped testing requirements to enter but you need to fill out ArriveCanada documents and there is random testing at the airports.

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? 😄

Us too..........but hold on to them because you never know when the winds will change or other Country requirements and we need to have testing to cruise.

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.

They will never stop pre cruise testing. They probably should perhaps but they never will people can't be trusted not to lie.

We did for four tests back in Mar/Apr timeframe and were given $48 ($12/test is what the reimbursement is)

Is this like the "you'll always have to wear a mask" prediction?

You mean kind of like you predicted they would never get rid of masks?

Isn't the thing to drop the 5 or 10 day quarantine onboard nevermind the testing?
