Wait ....... 3 days???

[ramja96]

I just found out that the pre-cruise Covid tests are now within 3 days of our cruise?????  When did that change occur?

[Jimbo]

today

[mrpayroll]

Don't get to excited. Could change tomorrow.

This was sent out on the 4th:

So I can still take my test two days before I cruise, like its been for the past, but it can now be up to three days. Correct?

[flamingos]

US departures only, at this point.

If you’re on a B2B and Canada is the second leg, how do you get tested?

You can always take this test even on Departure day.

Main point is test should not be taken earlier than 3 (or 2) days.

For any departure. It is not 2 days before or 3 days before, but within 2(3) days before.

Ok. Cruises after that is a B2B, first to NE/Canada and then to Bermuda. What is the testing procedure for each leg . Royal gave me three different answers on three different calls.

This is my dilemma also. My B2B is the opposite but same issue.

I do Bermuda then Can/NE. 
Hope we can get some real answers.

Royal will test you on board if your second cruise requires you to be tested

That’s great! Thank you.
I know I’ll have to do the ArriveCan in Bermuda. But that’s no biggie. Was just worried about how to get tested for the B2B.

That answer was to this post

 

"So I can still take my test two days before I cruise, like its been for the past, but it can now be up to three days. Correct? "

 

And yes. 2 days will still work for any cruise.

Including Canada/Bermuda.

 

 Post #4 is about extension from 2 to 3 days. 1 day, 2 days will still work.

Then you should not have quoted me as I replied 3 days excluding Canada and Barbados

 

And you replied "For any departure. It is not 2 days before or 3 days before, but within 2(3) days before"

 

it is not any departure that can test 3 days before.  Canada and Barbados are still 2 days before

 

[Tatka]

Do you agree, that 2 days are good for ANY departure? Including Bermuda or Canada?

That was a question.

 

 If you are still doing 2 days you do not care where ship is going 🙂

Do you think 2 days before will not work for Canada or Bermuda?

Unless you're on an Alaska cruise because the Canadien government is doing their typical nonsense. All for just 2.98% of the cruise time of being docked in Victoria. 🤬
