Thank you for that advice. I certainly considered that as an option. These telehealth kits you mention are the same used for embarkation? I worry about using these if my phone will not pull up internet (for result verification in Canada. Can I google this ArriveCAN form? I wish this stuff was spelled out step by step. I really am feeling out of the loops with all of this information. So many different places to look. While we are on this subject, as best as I can tell, if testing positive, we have to isolate for 10 days. Am I correct on this?

Ok, didn't mean to ruffle feathers. I was being facetious. So I read the Celebrity information regarding returning to the US from...well, not the US. I understand it to say that Celebrity does, indeed provide the necessary testing if one booked before November of 2019...complimentary. One only needs to show that they have travel arrangements in the 24 hours post disembarkation. The part that is causing me pause is the statement "guests will be given the opportunity to test at the terminal". Here is what I am asking, and perhaps this information isn't really clear yet Where in the terminal? Before luggage pick up? A distance from the cabs? Our flight time was just changed from 2 pm to noon. I am asking for advice on most efficient way for 4 people to get a resulted covid test in order to disembark, get to the airport and checked in before our noon flight. I am an RN at a hospital that sees numerous Covid cases. I know how long rapid tests take. To do this test at disembarkation seems risky in the time allowance factor. Please excuse my sense of humor. I know we are Covid weary. I have not traveled since 2019. I have not had enough brain cells to stay up to date on the revolving door of covid restrictions, except for what was mandatory at my place of work and in my community. I do not trust that my Celebrity rep or travel agent will be able to answer my question. TID, Julie

Couldnt that plan be to train or bus to seattle and fly home wearing masks?

Not so clearly as my Seattle to vancouver via Alaska sailing is not a listed option.

Not sure why I did not realuze this little tidbit till now. Guess my head was in the sand. I thought this was lifted. So we can test in airport?

"The U.S. government still requires all people over 2 years old flying into the country, including those who are vaccinated and boosted, to produce proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken 24 hours before you enter." Is this true for a return to US from Vancouver, BC? Are the cruiselines doing the testing on board?

We are sailing Sept 9th. How soon prior should we order the necessary pre-boarding proctored Covid tests for us to receive them in time? TIA. Julie
