covid testing for canada

Just read that beginning Oct. 1 Covid test results will no longer be needed to enter Canada. Does that apply to those taking a cruise from Montreal.

Covid tests aren’t required to enter Canada from the US even now.  But they are required to embark on a ship in Canada.  We just did this yesterday.  Because we spent a few days in Montreal precruise, we had to do the Inspire proctored self tests in our hotel as the test can’t be over 72 hours prior to embarking.  
Don’t know what that means regarding testing after Oct 1 though.

okay--but that does not say whether you need to have a negative test to get on the ship. Just that you don't have to be vaccinated to enter Canada. I think this must be one of the last cruises leaving Canada as summer ends.

I sent an inquiry to the Regent office but have not heard yet
