BULLMASTIFFBOY Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 There is a post on RCL that a pre-test covid test is needed, but can be "self-administered" ... the statement on RCL website is as clear as mud. Canada does not require any test to enter country, and we are Canadian, so the testing rcl talks about seems very strange. Does anyone know what process will be needed at boarding? this was the reply I received when I emailed: Guests ages 2 and older must present a negative test result from either a PCR test taken no more than 3 days prior to sailing. An antigen test taken no more than 2 days prior to sailing and guests under the age of 2 do not have to test. Accepted tests are PCR or antigen tests taken in-person, via telehealth, and self-swab tests. Proof of a negative test can be the printed or digital results, a clear photo of your self-test result, or your actual self-test in hand. Unsupervised self-testing will be accepted for these sailings. thanks Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan79 Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 All COVID testing requirements and entry restrictions for Canada were lifted back in October 2022. WAAAYTOOO and YellowBrickRoad 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, except Royal is requiring a test specifically for the Hawaii-to-Canada cruises. So for the OP, you will need to take a test. Easiest to use a self-test and present a photo at boarding.

BULLMASTIFFBOY Posted March 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 thanks, will do but everyone agrees a self test with no supervision is worthless right lol very strange as i don’t see same requirements for ncl to canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaa Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 Not worthless but certainly prone to fraudulent submission. I *think* it's just this sailing and not all sailings to Canada. Has something to do with coming from Australia I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got one myself coming up soon and there are zero such requirements. Also, is it possible this is just old language that RC is infamous for having still published? If the test is required, it would have to be due to the Australia beginning of this trans pacific voyage. There is no other factor that it could be since the US and Canada don’t require testing anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
