Ombud Posted July 22, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I've been battling with the app insisting I need a visa. Now I get an email that says: I submitted my California State covid vax verif, my CDC card, and my medical records. I have a US passport. I can't get a visa to visit USA and the NHS app per Google Play is for UK. I SWEAR I'M A YANKEE!! 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dog Posted July 22, 2021 #7 Share Posted July 22, 2021 This would just make me do the rest of check in at the terminal. I hope it gets straightened out for you and you have a wonderful cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombud Posted July 22, 2021 Author #8 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) I think I'll pack my certified birth certificate so they can see I was born in SF. I shouldn't have to but some things can only be resolved in person. I've also sent a copy of that to my PVP. DONE ✔ Just checked. No longer Green. I'll see them @ terminal Edited July 22, 2021 by Ombud 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Ann 2 Posted July 22, 2021 #14 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Most of it was stuff we already know like use the MedallionClass app, complete check-in, bring proof of vaccination, choose arrival time on app or use a table they send with boarding based on what floor your cabin is on. But what is this? Is this for cruises in England?? Edited July 22, 2021 by Mary Ann 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t&atravel Posted July 22, 2021 #16 Share Posted July 22, 2021 NHS is in the UK. I think this may have gone out to everyone in error. A few others in different threads have mentioned they received it too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see them @ terminal I also received the same email, and had installed NHS, but something holding me back from entering my birthdate at registration. I know nothing about this NHS app how and where they store data, and I never like the idea of using DOB as a login criteria. First, the MC, now NHS. I stopped there and did not proceed further. You deserve to be on Green if that was what you had before this NHS app. If I was me, I would take it up again to make it Green. Or walk straight to the Green line at check in.

NHS is is for UK residents. You don’t need the app. Apparently the email was sent out to everyone not just those in the UK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare azbirdmom Posted July 22, 2021 #23 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Yes, I think someone at Princess screwed up and they sent the same thing they sent to UK residents for the cruise staycations to everyone on the Alaska cruise too. And there won't be any UK residents on the latter unless they are staff / crew. There isn't a universal app that can be used for those of us in the USA so I'm not sure what they might want us to do unless they reenable the uploading of the CDC cards to the MedallionApp. Hoping we get a corrected notice with the right instructions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
