Don’t get why they would still require this when leaving from US port..but not other countries. CDC just basically gave them the green light to end this. Also, if you aren’t going to test EVERYONE…then testing anyone is dumb IMO.
Thanks Grant. I just discovered your channel. I’m an NCL fan and a Sapphire Latitudes Member. Even though I’ve cruised NCL a lot, I appreciate the information. Well done!
Greg thank you so much for the kind words, it really means alot to me! Well done with your Sapphire status, hoping to catch up to you soon! Hope you'll keep watching, another new video lined up for next week!
Carnival cruise lines begins August 4th. For short trips - fully VAX Guests / Royal Caribbean - short trips begins August 8th - fully VAX Guests
Thanks for the comment and for sharing. Each of the cruiselines (and brands) are taking different approaches. Sharing this article that highlights some of the differences. Wishing you safe cruising!

Yeah Grant! Coming in clutch with the updates!
You know it 😉
Very fortunate to have found your NCL specific channel. First time cruise to Alaska. Biggest thing has been anxiety finding a place to test within the 48 hours. Found a place that takes insurance and gives priority with certificate of results in 20 mins. Cool. Going one day early. Didn't like returning airfare, cancelled and booked "independent" as wasn't flying back with spouse....got first class...cuz i'm not stressing about the trip. Thank you.
So glad that you found the channel also! Alaska is one of the destinations that's still on my list. I've heard so many things about how beautiful it is!
Damn , I got so excited ..
🤗
And now the end of required covid vaccines coming sept 3!... well almost... depends and the destination country
Thanks Christopher for sharing, absolutely more changes coming. You got it right, have to be sure to look at the general requirements and also the specific travel requirements for countries of departure and that you'll be visiting. Wishing you safe and happy travels! 🛳️

@@CruisewithGrant yeah that's what i pointed out in my comment, but yes always read the fine print and check with your cruise line
Great Advice thank you we are cruising to Alaska on 8/20/22 . I am a realtor in Maui and would like to make videos for my you tube channel. I love everything about your videos would you be kind enough to share the app you use to edit add videos etc.?
Hi Lynn! Thanks for the kind words! I'm totally happy to share. I have learned alot in the short time I've been creating videos. Please feel free to send me over a message on Instagram @cruisewithgrant
When I called NCL they said you DO NOT have to do covid testing if sailing from the USA. I even asked from my port of Canaveral and they so no do not need to do covid test before if fully vaccinated.
get it in writing ✍️ because it does not state this information at all on their website. as of Aug covid test is required from USA
NCL is my favorite
I'm a big fan too 🥰
@@CruisewithGrant Happy I found
Your channel 😊
Me too Anthony! More good stuff coming in a week or so. I try to post a new video on Monday every 2 weeks. Wishing you a fantastic day! ✨️
Off topic but do you book your cruises thru NCL or travel agent?
Hi Brant, great question! I usually book through a travel agent; this initially had to do more with earning travel points, but on my last cruise I went to great session by the Cruise Next team that advised that you always book either with an agent or NCL cruise consultant. In general they said they will almost always be able to help with escalations if anything goes wrong. I experienced the benefits first hand when I ran into an issue with rebooking a cancelled cruise in April this year.
If you have any other questions also happy to connect on Instagram offline @cruisewithgrant Hope this was helpful! 😀
Why Athens?
QUESTION - We are leaving on The Norwegian Jade from Athens in less than 2 weeks. Do we know if they offer testing at the port?
Hi Scott, thanks for the question. As the testing requirements have been changing it would be a good idea to check in with NCL directly to find out if they offer testing at the port. It would make sense to me given the current requirements, but better to be sure. I've found the chat feature on the NCL website a great way to get an answer quickly. Wishing you safe travels!
I am NOT vaccinated. Can I take a cruise on Norwegian from the USA ????
Hi Kevin, great question. Currently NCL is requiring guests to be vaccinated for all cruises regardless of departure port. They are looking to introduce some big changes in September. Stay tuned I'll have an update video on it shortly!
Any info on the ArriveCan app requirement? On the NCL site it mentions to check the Arrive by Ship for the ArriveCan app. But I'm flying into Vancouver BC for our embarkation, so I would think that I'm arriving by Air... Or do I have to fill out 2 different ArriveCan aps for Air into BC from LAX, then 1 to arrive by Ship to get on the cruise ship. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Luis sorry for the delay in replying. I think it's definitely best to review the Canada Border Services website for details. I've only used the App myself when entering by air. My understanding is that anytime you leave and re-enter the country you would need to complete the App. NCL may also have some guidance as this comes up alot for Alaskan cruises. Hope this helps point you in the right direction.

Hey luis, you just have to do the arrive can thing to get into Canada, you do not have to do that twice. If you're arriving back to canada via the cruise you have to do arrive can again.
Every cruise line is different
Thanks for noting this Caroline! Things are changing and so you're right not every cruise line has the same requirements. As of writing Virgin Voyages has dropped their US testing for example. Always good to keep checking the latest requirements. Wishing you safe and happy cruising 🛳
