luvstodans Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 I am wondering, if possibly you will put your vaccine card number on, like you do your passport at online checkin prior to printing your boarding pass, there by removing the need to ask people to show it at boarding time, allowing compliance with Florida law?

steverk Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 I had expected that would be the approach that RCG would take. However, Royal and Celebrity is requiring the original card be present to board. Hopefully that will change after the first few sailings but there's no indication it will. As far as this being a way around the Florida law, I'll have to defer to someone with more knowledge of Florida law to answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our cards are not numbered but do have the lot number of our vaccine that we got. We’ve been wondering if the CDC shouldn’t of put serial numbers on all the cards. Lots of fake cards available on the internet and with out someone having access to the CDC database...Going to be hard to verify what card is real or not.

rjac Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 I thought I read somewhere here that you had to upload a copy of your vax certificate when you were doing your online check in, kind of like your photo. but that was a while ago and may have changed.

It wasn't the case for my Celebrity cruise. All of the information I can find out Royal is that they will require the original card. No copies. No pictures.

smokeybandit Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 I have a state-level PID, but the only thing the practitioner did with my card was put the dose sticker on it with the vaccine info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanS Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 There is no master database for the vaccine #'s so I doubt Royal has a way to verify what you uploaded is correct. That might be why they want the original card. Baked Alaska 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure there is a “master database” someplace that “could” be linked to when they check the manifest before the cruise and know if people are vaccinated or not automatically. And therefore not “ask” anyone to show proof. RyanS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baked Alaska Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) WITSH will we do if we lose our cards? Seriously! I've copied mine, made a pdf of them, etc., but if they want an original and lose them, where do we get the replacements? They are as valuable as our passports if we choose to travel. I have stashed our in our Safety Deposit Boxes at the bank. YeS! I want to cruise that bad and I don't want to lose them!!!

Depending on where you want to go, they are valuable now if you want to travel now. But 6 months from now, or maybe a year from now they will be meaningless. Once the whole world has a chance to get vaccinated (talking about supply issues, not anti-vaxxers), there will be no further need for travel restrictions. Some people got really upset over the idea of vaccine passports but I always saw them as a temporary measure for those that REALLY want to travel in a pandemic. Among the reasons they didn't get implemented was the expense of putting together a system that would only be used a short time. (That's my opinion of course).
