ANY testing needed for NCL boarding? Canada now requires nothing.

[barric]

For the our US sailing on Breakway after Sept 30, the NCL website shows clearly that Canada requires no testing, no data, no anything .  But the NCL web site still seems to require testing or vax proof to board the ship.   

Can anyone clarify?

Tried to get the full context of the email posted, but I'm sailing Breakaway Sunday and the gist of the email is that if vaccinated, no COVID test required nor do you have to fill our ArriveCan

Hopefully NCL will send a similar email to those embarking on their upcoming Jade cruises out of Athens as well, especially since the Greek Port Authority eliminated the pre-cruise testing requirement last week for passengers boarding in Athens.

From what I have read..... Cruises that begin September 3 and after

 

Proof of vaccination ...... if yes, then you do not need a test

 

If unvaccinated ......  a test to board

 

Canada ports .......  nothing required
