Has anyone tried obtaining a permit from the CDC for a rabies banned country? Our cruise is stopping a couple of the countries on their list. From what I have read on their website, service dogs are exempt from the ban but we have to apply for a special permit. Can’t seem to get a straight answer from them as to whether we need one if we are not getting off the ship, despite multiple emails to them. 
Definitely going to use Wellington’s service for the Bahamas permit, but this new rabies ban coming into effect is another hurdle I am trying to figure out!

Thanks for posting Diane! It’s always something. We have the Dominican Republic on an itinerary next April, so I’ll tell the ship we will not take the dog ashore there.

I am super confused and concerned about this rabies suspension. I thought I had everything figured out, but this makes me wonder if cruising with our service dog will even be possible this winter?? We also have a Dominican stop. Will we be ok simply not getting off the ship?? I have contacted the CDC agriculture department regarding this but I can’t seem to get a definite answer. The email they sent simply stated that “Dominican Republic is a high risk country.” 
I’m about to throw the towel in on this whole cruising thing. It is causing way too much anxiety!!

Thanks. So I have confirmed that the CFIA in Canada can sign the vet form. Still trying to get an answer on the Bahamas permit. I will try calling them.

Carnival has also informed me that we will have to do the paperwork for Grand Turk which is unfortunate as I thought we wouldn’t need to if we weren’t getting off the ship. However both Carnival and an email to the Grand Turk authorities has confirmed that we need the permit to even board the ship. This seems contrary to what I have read here so I don’t know if this is new. But I guess we will have to do it as I don’t want to risk not being able to board with her dog.

Hello everyone. Our family has been on many cruises but we have 2 booked in October on Carnival that will be very different. Our daughter now has a service dog (mini Goldendoodle named Penny).  So I have been researching like crazy to figure out what we all need to do. I have a couple of questions. One of our cruises has 2 Bahamas stops. Does this mean I need to get 2 separate Bahama permits? Is the best way to get these to submit it myself or pay for a service like Bahamas pet permit?
I am hoping that someone from here is from Canada and can help me out. I see you all talking about the 7001 health form. For us in Canada what do I get my vet to fill out? Is it the Canadian international health certificate? If it needs to be USDA signed, how do I do that in Canada?(specifically Puerto Rico states it must be USDA signed). This is the part that confuses me coming from

Canada but cruising from the US. 
We have started our potty box training. Penny pees on command with no problem in it but we still haven’t been able to convince her to poop in it. Hopefully she will get it yet!

So, it was as suspected.

 

The ticket is valid from the time of purchase, so the only option is the more expensive Copenhagen or to get is as a test massage on your phone.

Thank you for checking this out for me.

If you are referring to the Copenhagen Card, you can have the card mailed to you at home and then you do not activate it until you are ready to do so in Copenhagen by filling in the date and time you first use the card. See the following conditions of the Copenhagen Card:

No, I am referring to the 24 hour transportation pass.

Help! I've been reading through this thread, but I'm confused as to how to get a 24 hr city pass to use after the cruise. I won't have a phone activated to be able to buy the pass online while in Copenhagen. Is it possible to buy the pass at the airport when we fly in before the cruise but not use it until after the cruise?
