Conflicting Testing days

[sunlover2]

From what I have  been reading it used to be you needed a covid test within 2 days prior to cruising...now I am also reading  it has changed to 3 days prior cruise. Which one is it? Our cruise is going to Canada if that matters.

Tried calling Royal but on hold for quite a long time.

 

"Vaccinated guests must show a negative result for a PCR or antigen test taken no more than 2 days before boarding day. Kids age 5 to 11 who have been vaccinated may follow the testing protocols for vaccinated guests."

 

"Guests 2 to 11 years of age who are not fully vaccinated must bring a negative test result for a COVID-19 antigen or PCR test taken within the 3 days before boarding day, regardless of the duration of their cruise. These guests will no longer be required to take a second test at the terminal."

The key word there is 'within'. Two days is within three days, so you may test 1, 2 or 3 days in advance.

 

Also, those instructions -- one is for vaccinated and one is for not fully vaccinated. They do not conflict.
