Canadian Cruising Update

[Oceangoer2]

Just read a banner on CBC.....all Canadian cruises banned until Feb. '22.  Wonder if we'll still be cruising out of American ports end of this year/early next year?  Might be a sign of things to come.

There is still the ban on any non-essential travel between the US and Canada.  I can't even take my fishing boat across the Detroit River to Canada.  Until they relax the restrictions and let me anchor and fish in Canadian waters, I don't think they are close to allowing cruise ships.

can't amend titles...just skip over it - no harm, no foul.  BTW....I didn't see the 1st post re this until after I had quickly posted my banner info thinking it would be of interest, but now I see that post and responses related to affecting Alaska cruises then shifted to vaccinations.This link provides info through Feb. '22 for more than cruises to Alaska that US cruisers may not be concerned with.  There are several Canadian ports and their livlihood affected.  Maybe for interest it should have been posted on a Canadian CC site?

Could you ever legally slip across the river to Canada to fish...LOL?  same fish on both sides of the Detroit River I think.  This ban is hard on everyone....we can't cruise either;  this virus is again affecting many many world ports...write off 2021 cruising?  😢

Out of curiosity, aren’t there a number of people who live in one or the other country and work in the other? What have they been doing? Or is that not a thing...

We have many workers crossing the border into the US (auto industry in Detroit for one - much needed medical staff for another).   I think they have credentials to pass.

The ban is for non-essential travel
