shebag Posted September 25, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I have been doing some research into the requirement to get a molecular test done within 72 hours of returning to Canada. What I have found is that they are not accepting rapid antigen tests. Does anyone know how we can do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochelle_s Posted September 25, 2021 #2 Share Posted September 25, 2021 At the moment, it is my understanding, that if you are travelling directly home you will be able to receive a PCR test on board the ship in order to fly. Of course it would be prudent to keep checking back with the cruise lines protocols to make sure things do not change between now and when you cruise.

RGEDad Posted October 2, 2021 #3 Share Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) Look in the FAQs: https://www.hollandamerica.com/en_US/worry-free-promise/travel-well/frequently-asked-questions/faq-for-cruises-from-usa.html If my home country requires proof of a negative COVID-19 test result for re-entry following my cruise, will Holland America Line administer and cover the cost of the test? Yes, if a negative COVID-19 test is required for re-entry into your home country, Holland America Line will cover the costs of a COVID-19 test administered onboard the ship within the timeframe required prior to travel and prior to the end of the voyage. Guests will receive a copy of the test result. Guests are encouraged to review their home country's health authority and travel websites to understand the latest guidance on required testing and timing for return travel.

syesmar Posted October 2, 2021 #4 Share Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) There are reports of passengers on board who have not been given the test, contrary to their printed policy.
