Coach9 Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 Cruising next week already checked in and took the pictures of are COVID vaccine cards. I’m wondering do we still need to take the card itself with us for boarding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki007 Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 absolutely...you will be denied entrance to the terminal without. You will show your vax card, negative tests, and Passports twice. Once to enter the terminal and once to check in with RC. Have a great cruise. Pooch, Pattycruise and Swar 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jticarruthers Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 i think you hsve your answer already but yes, all the uploading is basically worthless as i have to show my passport and vax card every time even though they have digital copies already ... makes no sense but it is what it is.

leesam82 Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 Also if you are not from the United States and hail from a country that had digital covid vaccine cards, make sure you have physical vaccine card. I have a family member coming to the US for our cruise from a country that has digital vaccine cards. They had to go to their local public health office to get an official copy. Also make sure that the covid vaccine card has the name of the vaccine, date of administration (each dose separately), and that it is in English. They initially had trouble getting their vaccine cards validated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 Question....regarding the vax cards....on the website: Proof of vaccine in the form of the original vaccination record document issued by your country's health authority or healthcare provider that administered the vaccine. I don't have the original card but I do have the printout, with the QR code, that I was able to get on the California Digital Covid 19 portal. Is this good enough? This is also what I sent when I did my check in and my vaccination has been validated. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a big sticking point when I called royal Caribbean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Yes, it has my name, birthdate and the 1st and 2nd dose plus the date of the booster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 I believe that states that use the digital forms of vax cards allow for them to be printed. I think that info is listed in the FAQs and if I am not mistaken, they might even allow you to pull them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharla Posted July 24, 2023 Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 They aren't required but if you have one I recommend bringing it. Because if something happens on the ship better safe than sorry, that's my take. whitsmom, SpeedNoodles, The Fox and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steverk Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 I watched Don's Family Vacations on YouTube last night. I was surprised when he mentioned a transpacific cruise to Australia was still requiring Covid cards and tests. He seemed surprised as well. It's been almost a year since I've needed such things.

Allen2 Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Scheduled for crossing to Australia on another cruise line - current requirements include Covid Cards AND testing, although photo of self-test taken within 24 hours works. If self-test: test results, Government ID, and device (phone) with date and time showing in photo are all required to substantiate proof.
