B2B - Zaandam from Boston to Montreal to Boston on 9/10 - does *anyone* really know the rules on testing?

[Don Kehote]

1 - Passengers are fully vaccinated.

2 - Passengers will be staying in the same room for both legs.

 

I can't get a good answer out of HAL - they keep hemming and hawing, and it seems like nobody really knows for sure.  

 

We're planning to test pre-boston anyway, but don't know what the deal is with getting back on board at Montreal. Is there some kind of testing facility at the port that handles this?  TIA if you have any help!

No test was done or needed on our recent (1 week ago) return from Montreal to Boston.

I was sent a message this morning that testing was required. Without it, boarding will be denied. This is for the 9/17 sailing,

Montreal to Boston

We did B2B on Zaandam in August 2022, Boston-Montreal-Boston and we were only required to test for embarkation in Boston. No test for the return from Montreal. No customs in Montreal since were were already in Canada and no ArriveCAN for the second leg of the B2B since the itinerary didn’t leave Canada and return once we entered. US CBP processing was done in Bar Harbor on board the ship. No one was allowed to go ashore until all had been processed.

Same here for B2B August 27 to September 10. However, Holland America kept sending me emails as if I were boarding in Montreal.
