Ragnar Danneskjold Posted June 7, 2021 #1105 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Awesome, thanks! I just called and got ours cleared too. They said they are very busy processing covid test results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just phoned. They approved mine, but the first person said my husband’s document would not load. So I re-did it. Called back and the person I talked to would not approve his because of HIPPA laws. Really? Isn’t anything involving this trip easy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The woman at Verifly first told me they don't send any verification until the day of your flight. I said what? She insisted, so I said I know people who've had it completed and besides, Verifly and Viking said it would be done in 24 hours. After a long wait on hold, she came back, said she found the pass, and proceeded to review it - asked some verification questions, and voila! She approved it. She said they usually don't process / review them until very close to the date of travel. Oh boy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exact same wording on my phone call---I told her that there was no way, this was for Viking, to show proof of our vaccines. Then she said 'oh, I thought you were talking about covid testing'. 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triptkr Posted June 7, 2021 #1115 Share Posted June 7, 2021 For what it's worth, I emailed the Bermuda Covid hotline email thingy yesterday and got this reply today in my spam folder. I guess I'm impressed they replied back but I still am taking it with a grain of salt and will be checking back on this periodically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This appears to be consistent with the CruiseCritic discussions over the past 24 hours. 4 days. I think I posted that for those who arrive on a Tuesday (in time for the ship boarding) as likely a majority of Bermuda cruisers this summer will, that means you have to get the test no earlier than on the previous Friday. Still wonder how many people won't make it due to pre-flight COVID testing administrative issues and delays. All a very tight schedule with NO room for anything going wrong. Hard to believe the thousands of passengers over the summer will be 100% successful in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to believe the thousands of passengers over the summer will be 100% successful in this. I agree. For several weeks I have tried to identify "official" information on this and here are two pages that now say 5 DAYS: https://www.gov.bm/coronavirus-travellers-visitors (linked from Viking "Important Information About Your Departure" dated 11 May, which document states 3 Days) https://www.gov.bm/coronavirus-pre-vetted-travel-authorisation and there is no mention of the upcoming change after 13 June (formerly 6 June). Good luck to us all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragnar Danneskjold Posted June 7, 2021 #1120 Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Weather is supposed to be rather dismal, starting on Monday, for the duration of the 6/15 cruise. Thunderstorms! I guess the ten passengers that actually make it aboard can just hang around the covered pool and drink... There are worse fates (like testing positive upon boarding and being sent to a run-down, bedbug infested hotel room for 14 days...).

hfjas006 Posted June 7, 2021 #1122 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Does anyone’s VeriFLY pass still say “not complete” even though the vaccine submission has been approved? VeriFLY said it’s new and couldn’t tell me why it’s not complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe waiting for the other documents you have to send VIking closer to the cruise? like the travel authorization, the health survey and the neg covid PCR test. Just a guess...

Did that happen as soon as they approved the vaccine? They told me to wait until tomorrow and see what happens. I can’t find anything else I need to do. There is nothing on the checklist that isn’t completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
