[Travelandtourism] Taking a cruise to Alaska

[Cindy Handel]

I have a couple questions for anyone on the list who might be familiar with 
regulations, now.

My husband and I have taken two previous cruises to Alaska.  This time, in 
August, we're going with a group on Carnival.  My husband has a guide dog. 
Carnival asks for health information and a certificate indicating Ralph, 
(the dog) has had all his vaccinations.  But, our travel agent said we also 
need an International Health certificate for Ralph.  We are flying from 
Washington, DC, to Seattle, and then, from Seattle to Anchorage, Alaska. 
Coming back, we'll be going through Vancouver, BC.  We've never needed an 
international health certificate, before, when going through Canada...just 
the vaccination certificate.  So, is this something new?  Do we get the 
international health certificate from the vet, or somewhere else?

Thanks.

Cindy
