I'm hoping someone has any info on Canada excursions. One of our ports is Skagway. I found an excursion through trip advisor from Frontier Excursions that was a tour through the Yukon. I was really excited as it went past Emerald Lake and on to through to Canada. I was reading the companies FAQ, and it said if you have ever had a DUI that Canada might not let you cross the border. I have had one but it was 29 years ago. I'm now 53.. Don't drink and am a completely different person. I called the company and he said that they have turned away people but he didn't know if it would matter since it's been so long, but he advised me not to book the tour. Has anyone heard of this? We are scheduled to stop in Victoria, so I called RC and the rep said she had never heard of this.

I was referring to the US border guards, while entering the US. Have never had an issue returning to Canada. That’s one of the reasons why I won’t enter the US under the current administration. The rules keep changing.
And I was referring to border guards here, there, and everywhere. Ive been many places starting back in the day, and those border guard types are a law unto themselves..no matter where you are...never liked the entire process, no matter where I was, I always got the feeling you looked at them wrong, or they didn't like you, even for no reason, you got screwed over...and to get unscrewed takes a lot...which explains why I cruise where I cruise now,and the way we do it. Im onboard to relax and chill. period..

The border guards tend to make their own rules, or at least take some rules more seriously than others. ð
You're absolutely right. And not just in Canada either.... Its comforting to know that in a changing world, some things are etched in stone.
FYI the same thing happened to my (now ex) husband and I when crossing the border into the USA. He had a minor charge when he was a teenager, for which he received a pardon, and the border guards weren’t going to let him into the states. This was before passports were required to cross the border. So it can happen. The border guards tend to make their own rules, or at least take some rules more seriously than others. ð
Of course, since it sounds like a money scheme, guess he shouldn't take it to personal.
Speaking only for myself, he should be proud of the way he's lived the past 19 years, as I'm sure you are.....as for the other.....pffft…...

That's what I'm saying! I can't get past he can't even be in the ship that fine into Port. You'd think he murdered someone. And can you imagine how that made him feel? I'd have died
Can't resist...few years back got nailed in LA on our way back from the port in NO. Near Lake Providence, road is dead flat, no crossroads, almost no traffic goes on for miles and miles.. mebbe some o you folks know exactly whereof I speak.. Trooper hid behind a boxcar on a rail siding. 80 in a 50. Letter arrived, explained the fine etc, the usual..BUT,,,for only a few $$ more, they would reduce the whole thing to a parking ticket..yeh you read that right...fill out a two page form which was the equivalent of a traffic class, wrap it around $400 and it all goes away...no points, no reciprocity, nada. So I did..course the cost is ongoing, as I'm now reminded of it every time we drive that road to or from NO. Now its one thing for PODUNK to operate that way...but a whole country???
About what? They told him the only way he could take the cruise again and not be arrested is if he pays 250.00 through the government. Apparently after that he is not a threat to their country.
I would check with the article provided and the Canadian Government to be sure.
