Under FAQ: can I cruise with my family- says cruises entering Canada requires test 2 days prior to sailing for antigen.

whereas, in chart- up to date: vax/ booster is 3 days prior.

so someone pointed this discrepancy out to me.

The chart is wrong. The discrepancy arises because Canada doesn't differentiate between "fully vaccinated" and "up to date". While Princess reflects this in the "Voyages Departing from Canada" chart, this should have been entitled "Voyages Departing from or Destined for Canada". And the "Voyages Departing from the United States" chart should have a footnote that this does not include cruises stopping in Canada.

 

Bottom line: go with the actual Canadian requirement, not the botched chart from Princess:

antigen - 2 days

molecular - 72 hours

Will do 2 days for antigen!!!

Things can all change by the time of your cruise
