Covid Vaccination Request

[Andy & Sheryl Unwin]

I wonder if anyone else has received an email from Royal requesting proof of vaccination and directing to another site to complete details?  I have such an invite in my email inbox and am suspricious

[Jaconso]

We received that this morning as well. It is legitimate and leads back to Royal's web-site. You do need to add all the guest on your itinerary and/or let them answer themselves, if you've put their email addresses in properly on your booking (i.e. I booked the trip under my account, but my wife also received the email as well...but I answered for both of us). Give you three options (I'm paraphrasing here):

1. Fully vaccinated and willing to provide proof
2. Not vaccinated
3. Don't want to share info

Answer 1 = Vaccinated "bucket" and Answers 2,3 = Unvaccinated "bucket".

In my opinion, it looks like Royal *might* be looking into going the 95% vaccinated / 5% unvaccinated route with their cruises and this would be the first step in gathering that information. Given their stance at wanting to be a family cruising company during the restart, they may likely "reserve" as much of the 5% for children under 12 that are unable to be vaccinated and perhaps (NOTE I'M JUST GUESSING HERE) cancel/shift/refund the unwilling. Royal's cruise contract has language permitting capacity controls and denying boarding at their discretion, so...this is compliant with the FL law and pretty much in-line with Carnival, NCL, Celebrity, etc.

Yes. And they will send it to you multiple times prior to your sailing, even if you complete it.

[basil]

Definitely.  I got it 3 times for my Freedom cruise. I answered itb3 times. On my statement it now says vaccinated. 

[Snotarni]

Yep...  we got it for our Mariner sailing on Sep 3.

We are currently on that cruise as well....but will most likely have to cancel since we are unvaxxed.

And then F it up and not use the data collected anyway ... we were 2 vax, 1 unvax for Freedom ... despite answering that way we were all marked as vax in their system and treated that way throughout. We had to argue for example to be moved from the vax dining room to the general population one ...

Why haven't I received any of these emails?  I'm on the Allure in August and Mariner to follow?

Mine was in my spam email. Check there or junk email.

Oddly enough my wife got the email, even though I am the "primary person" on the reservation. I haven't received one (even checked spam) but we were able to provide status for both of us with her email.

Did you notice they took pictures of you vaccine card at check in? Who knows where that may end up.

[jticarruthers]

I did, given the RC IT track record its probably available for download somewhere ... which would open them up to lots of issues so I'm frankly surprised they did it.

[Andy & Sheryl Unwin]

Thank you everyone, as a result of the confirmations here, I have completed the sign up to volunteer Vaccine information at the terminal

How far ahead of sailing are these emails going out?

I got mine roughly a week or so ago, maybe 10 days ago, and we sail on 9/20.

The link to send Royal proof you are vaccinated before the cruise?

https://www.royalcaribbean.com/resources/vaccination-form

They'll email you a number of times before your cruise with the link.

[barjpoe]

We sail on Odyssey on Sept. 19 haven't gotten that email.  Should I be concerned?
