TeanneTX Posted August 31, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I know that there are a bunch of lines that are opening up cruises to the non-vax. We want to finally get to go to Alaska but all stop in Canada. Can you just stay on the ship during the stop in Canada? Does anyone know if you can do this or is there another board to ask this question? Teanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a requirement to embark/disembark a cruise ship in Canada, or even be aboard a ship that docks in Canada. No, you cannot just stay onboard, as by being onboard, you have already entered Canada. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish the US would allow cruises to go to and from Alaska without stops in Canada. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always try the Alaska Ferry system, or check out the US Flag cruises, but they tend to be expensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountaineer0313 Posted September 1, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Not as far as I know. My husband grudgingly got vaccinated, since I told him I was heading to Alaska with or without him, his choice. So he got it done with a month to spare and we leave Monday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaccination is not an option for us unfortunately. Guess we'll just wait it out and see if Canada changes its policies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also must be vaxxed even for a domestic flight in Canada. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ferry_Watcher Posted September 11, 2022 #8 Share Posted September 11, 2022 It is good that you asked, rather than showing up at the terminal and being denied boarding (and not being refunded your cruise fare). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the LAX part but during the flight they will ask you to put your mask on once you enter CDN airspace and yes you will need to wear it the entire time you are in the Vancouver airport.

No...LAX does not require it...We've flown out/in several times in the past few months, so sure of that part. But thanks for your reply. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAX (and all transportation hubs in Los Angeles County) requires masking It is announced every few minutes over the loudspeakers, but unenforced I last flew through there mid-August Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babsinpbg Posted September 24, 2022 #16 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Hi. Just booked a Carnival Alaska cruise for summer '23. Accoring to Carnival website and confirmed by my Carnival rep, unvaccinated with a negative PCR test is permitted for Canada cruises. He also stated that an onboard complimentary test will be given prior to debarking in Canada: Canada: All guests age 5 years and older have to present a PCR test taken within 3 days before sailing or an antigen test within 2 days before sailing. Additionally, unvaccinated guests will be given a complimentary test on board, within 24 hours of arrival to port, to comply with destination requirements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
