GypsyJedi Posted August 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 21, 2022 We are sailing from Boston on August 31. Since we need a Covid test within 3 days can we get one on the 29th before we leave for Boston? I’ve sent an email to Celebrity asking for this information but haven’t gotten a reply. I hope this isn’t indicative of the service I can expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted August 21, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Don’t count the sail date. Thursday for a Saturday departure is fine. Keep checking the Celebrity website for instructions because this is an ever-changing situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embarkation day is Day 0, so the 29th is Day 2---you're good. I believe, however, since you're visiting Canada three days is not correct. Also, you must submit ArriveCAN info prior to boarding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought and planning for our 21 September NE/Canada cruise. Agree the 29th works for @GypsyJedi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was checking the ArriveCAN site yesterday, and Yes, one must complete and submit the ArriveCAN document "within 72 hours" prior to arriving in Canada. I was checking the site for covid pre-testing, and it shows for fully vaccinated (not including boosters), no pre-testing required. But, please check the site yourself as it can be confusing; in other words don't trust my statements as fact, but read it and come to your own conclusion.

But currently Celebrity still has the requirement for precruise covid testing. 👎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't bothered to look on Celebrity's website. I figure the app is itinerary specific (21 September). On the app it says "pre-cruise testing for vaccinated guests must present a supervised, negative antigen test results for covid-19 taken within 2 days prior to sailing". Looks like Celebrity still has the requirement in place in order to board the ship in Boston. We are 30 days out and starting to get a little more concerned with the precruise testing requirement.

A great place to ask specific questions concerning your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the current requirements stated on the app we plan on testing two days prior to our sail date using an online proctor at home on the 19th as we fly out on the morning of the 20th. We'll use our iHeatlth test kits (received 8 new ones this past Friday) and use Rapid Test and Trace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
