The rules are different for Canadians. We are the next door neighbor to British Columbia. How strange that Canada would require it for their own but not some others, like us.

It is not the departing Vancouver that is the issue, it is the US ports. When a cruise departs, they have to consider the entry requirements of every country on the itinerary, not just the departure port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpcanuck Posted May 1, 2023 #33 Share Posted May 1, 2023 “Boarding Passengers boarding a cruise ship at the Canada Place cruise terminal are encouraged to check travel documents before arriving at the cruise terminal to avoid unnecessary waiting. All passengers embarking in Vancouver will go through screening and U.S. Customs and Border Protection as you are considered to be entering U.S. jurisdiction upon boarding the cruise ship. Please visit the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website for more information and required travel documents” this comes from www.portvancouver.com 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nini Posted May 1, 2023 #34 Share Posted May 1, 2023 But the vaccination was not required to enter US. The point of this recent discussion was why Canadians had to be vaccinated/ test to enter their own country. Yes, Alaska is in US but it was not required.

szizo Posted May 1, 2023 #35 Share Posted May 1, 2023 I am a Canadian and sailing in May out of Vancouver, now my cruise is round trip Vancouver so not sure if that affects the answer. However here is the cruise health tool results for my cruise, which clearly state NO vaccine required. I hope this helps ease your concerns.

Read the last sentence:- Note that guests who are not U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents are required to provide proof of being fully vaccinated for COVID-19 in order to enter the United States by cruise or by air travel. These U.S. entry requirements are separate from our cruise protocols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point of this recent discussion was why Canadians had to be vaccinated/ test to enter their own country. Yes, Alaska is in US but it was not required. TRAVEL ALERT: Beginning on January 22, 2022, DHS will require non-U.S. individuals seeking to enter the United States via land ports of entry and ferry terminals at the U.S.-Mexico and U.S.-Canada borders to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and provide related proof of vaccination, as COVID-19 cases continue to rise nationwide. These new restrictions will apply to non-U.S. individuals who are traveling for both essential and non-essential reasons. They will not apply to U.S. citizens, Lawful Permanent Residents, or U.S. nationals. This requirement as of this point has not been lifted. It might be lifted come May 11th when the Covid emergency is "declared" over. Vaccinations for US citizens are not required for land travel to enter the US or Canada. Therefor @nini, any travel experiences you have had are not the same as for a Canadian citizen. A US citizen can enter Canada, leave Vancouver to visit US ports (Alaska), and reenter Canada (Vancouver), without vaccinations. A Canadian cannot enter the US (Alaska) without being vaccinated, even leaving and returning from their own country (Vancouver), as they are entering the US. I don't think they have even made an exception for truck drivers coming into the US from Canada yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remydiva Posted May 1, 2023 #38 Share Posted May 1, 2023 In spite of what info you find online both from cdc, princess and airlines, as Canadians we flew into US FLL 2 weeks ago and were NOT required to show proof of vaccination. I had printed and digital QR codes ready to show when asked. We never were asked. When I checked in for our flights online 24 hrs ahead of flight I did have to click ‘I accept/ I understand’ after reading a long health protocol that I believe listed the need/benefits of vaccination. to be honest it was late at nite and I didn’t save the long doc as I assumed it was giving heads up that I would need to provide proof before entry to US. maybe it was a glitch at border entry or maybe it’s the honor system now?

dockman Posted May 1, 2023 #39 Share Posted May 1, 2023 In a fraction of the time and effort to find and read all the conflicting info she could have already gotten the shot with less hassle and also provide her and others with protection as covid is still out there.

My original statements were regarding DH and myself NOT needing to be vaccinated nor test to enter and board in Canada last September. Believe it or not, I understand the difference between a US citizen and a Canadian citizen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
