No, not true!
I’ve been on a lot of cruises since the restart and uploaded everything. They did not care. They wanted to see the original vax card and passport. I also uploaded my covid test. Nope, wanted to see that too, even with a QR code.
So, clearly this is a rep who has not cruised. They really need more training.
You could tell them to read the Princess website. It says bring all your documents with you to the port, so there are no issues.
I was through the line in about 2 mins every time.
You will not get delayed or denied boarding…that’s ridiculous!
