Hi there,
I read a similar thread where Canadians were posting about using azova.com for proctoring of self tests to enter the USA however didn't see if these had been accepted to board a Princess cruise ship.
I will be travelling in Alaska for one week prior to boarding the cruise. I'm being tested in Ottawa prior to leaving but that test will not be valid to board the cruise (too much time has passed).
I've reached out to my travel agent for help who referred me to the Princess website. The website lists a few possibilities for testing however they either don't apply to Alaska or don't apply to Canadians. The doc to go company doing testing at the cruise ports is not available in Whittier, the self test websites that Princess website recommends either don't ship to Canada or are out of stock. They specify that any tests used must have emergency use authorization from the FDA.
I have the btnx rapid tests (the lime green box the Canadian governments are handing out for free). I see that some Canadians have used a company called AZOVA to proctor the test online and it was used for royal Caribbean. Has anyone used this for boarding a Princess cruise?
Also, have any Canadians been able to get the free test at Walgreens? Their website doesn't specify they don't offer the test to non Americans but the language implies they assume it's for Americans.
Thanks for the help! I don't want to miss out on this cruise because I can't find an appropriate COVID test in Alaska.
Nadia
