Canada is worried about two 70 something’s trying to get on a cruise ship. Seriously😥 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heading back across the border (into the USA) would be illegal (under Canadian rules) even if your home was right across the border. We recently ran into this Canadian rule while planning a driving trip into Canada with some friends. Today, we all cancelled our plans, called the Canadian B&B, whose owner was not even aware of this rule, and cancelled several thousand dollars of reservations. No big deal for us (we will simply do an alternative trip into New England). But we do feel sorry for the Canadian B&B and restaurants that have lost a lot of business because of this type of silly rule. I only post this because there is nothing "simple" about ArriveCan or the related rules! What is simple is going to Mexico of just about anywhere in Europe. Canada......"forget about it!" Hank Hlitner I always enjoy your posts, but when I say “simply” I am referring to the use of the app only. Once all the information is in it IS very simple to use. Much more so than any of the cruise line apps we’ve used in the past year. As for the rest, that’s a whole other conversation, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada is worried about two 70 something’s trying to get on a cruise ship. Seriously😥 You miss the point of ArriveCAN app. It allows one to enter passport, personal and vaccination data ONCE. You then simply insert date and port of entry each time you enter Canada. Takes 2 minutes. Makes customs and border crossing very fast. Not sure what your drug comment has to do with ArriveCAN. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davekathy Posted September 13, 2022 #33 Share Posted September 13, 2022 IMO, the ArriveCan is a no biggie. Still having to do the pre cruise covid tests irritates me. But neither will stop us from cruising to Canada. Looking forward to our 21 September NE/Canada cruise on the Summit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine what it must be like for students applying to college, loan applications, dorm room selection, and then all of the questions constantly being asked by know-it-all teachers in the classrooms or on line… Fortunately cruising is slightly less stressful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heading back across the border (into the USA) would be illegal (under Canadian rules) even if your home was right across the border. 1) 10 day quarantine is only mandated if you test positive on arrival on a random entry test or otherwise declare at the border that you have COVID - if you test positive at any point unrelated to the border, you fall under provincial rules instead which more often than not mirror the CDC guidelines rather than having force of law 2) it is legal to depart Canada in a private conveyance (eg personal vehicle) while under quarantine. You are only restricted from using public transportation eg planes, trains, buses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m Canadian and believe me, we wish this would go away as well! Well I, for one, will not book a cruise that stops in Canada until they end this theater.

gold1953 Posted September 14, 2022 #43 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I just downloaded the app , added mine and my husbands info . took pics of our vaccine data after enter country , dates, vaccine type. All simple . Now I log out and then log in 72 hours before we enter Canada and enter info needed. All fast and simple. You can save your basic info in the system 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may not be the only one, but my late July cruise out of Vancouver had the highest percentage capacity of any Celebrity sailing since restart. I was stressed about potentially being quarantined for 10 days but in the end all went well and we had a fabulous time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
