Exactly.  Until Royal announces the change testing is still required.

Just returned yesterday from our Alaska cruise out/in from Vancouver. No one seemed to care about the ArriveCan submission, hard copy of our negative covid test to board RCI...All the stress leading up to this cruise from Canada was for nothing.

Princess just announced that they just dropped all restrictions for travel to Canada.

That's for sure!  RCL is still requiring tests for any cruise that stops in Greece and nobody can explain why.  Greece dropped ALL covid restrictions including travel by cruise ship awhile ago.

Lots of cruise ships in the area (red is Carnival and green Royal). Hope everyone stays safe.

I just got this from Princess:

 

our valued guest,

Great news! Earlier this month, Princess introduced relaxed health and safety guidelines to welcome more guests on board. Certain countries, including Canada, maintained additional requirements for entry. Yesterday, Transport Canada announced they are removing all their COVID-19 requirements to enter the country starting October 1, 2022.

 

This means we’re prepared to welcome all guests on cruises visiting, arriving or departing from Canadian ports, including the remaining of the season for our highly popular Canada & New England voyages. We also look forward to returning to Alaska in 2023 where Princess is the #1 cruise line and all our itineraries feature visits to Canada.

 

We can't wait to welcome everyone on board who has waited so patiently for the past three years for these destinations to fully open. This is yet another step in the right direction that makes booking a Princess cruise to Canada & New England or Alaska seamless and hassle-free. For full details visit: Princess.com/CruiseHealth ❯

 

We're thrilled for you to visit Canada’s magnificent destinations all while enjoying friendly, personalized service and those "only on Princess" moments, provided by the best crew in the cruise industry.

 

We look forward to seeing you on a Princess cruise!
