But what is this? Is this for cruises in England?? I received this from my Princess Cruise Vacation Planner this morning: ‘If you received an email about downloading the NHS app please disregard it. That app is for UK residents.” Edited July 22, 2021 by Syracusefan44 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to this website so I could have a copy of my vaccination card on my phone. Once it provided the info I didn't know what to do with it. I want it easily accessible on my phone but there was no option to "save". I ended up taking a screenshot of it. What else can you do to "save" this info to your phone? I wish they would make these things more user friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ombud Posted July 22, 2021 Author #29 Share Posted July 22, 2021 @adstzi also did a screenshot & will print it out when I print out my door sign (lost computer / printer to homeschooled kids) PVP M states as noted above: "Please ignore that part. I'm sure it was only meant for those sailing to the UK for the Summer sailings For UK residents only. It mistakenly got included for those of you sailing to Alaska." However she also suggested that I just bring my Passport and check in as requested (blue lane). It should be quick with my time being so early (11:30-11:45). The times on the flyer are for those who don't get an arrival time via MC. At this point I don't have anything to worry about with the app or odd emails from Princess.

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. Yes, definitely a screw up to send it to US citizens! I don't understand why I uploaded our vaccination cards and now there is no sign of them. DH thinks maybe someone decided it wasn't secure enough? Or HIPAA rules prevented it? Or they were afraid that people might think that meant that they didn't have to bring them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was part of split California in 2 or 3 and might have just been my zone. Did we accomplish that and no one tell us ? (OK.

Having spent most of my law federal law enforcement career conducting health care fraud investigations there is much confusion about the HIPAA privacy rules which provide protections for your individually identifiable health information that is held by “health care providers and health plans and their business associates.” The HIPAA privacy rules set forth how and with whom your health information can be shared with and it basically prohibits anyone in the health care industry from releasing your medical information without your permission (except for specific circumstances when they can disclose it to law enforcement without your consent). It is not a violation of HIPAA for a private entity like a cruise line to ask you to provide proof that you received a COVID19 vaccine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelers36 Posted July 22, 2021 #35 Share Posted July 22, 2021 There is NO WAY I would want to check in going by what deck I happened to book and get shafted from an early check-in. What a mess. It's just arbitrary and people aren't ready to board early or late by what deck they happened to book on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked again, now it has my second shot as my first shot, and no second. My county has uses mychart. At least that has both. Go here: https://chat.myturn.ca.gov/?id=17 Use the virtual assistant to resolve your issue. You are offered the choice of "my information is incomplete" or "my information is missing". Mine was totally missing ant this site fixed the issue for me. I now have my electronic verification. Take a picture of your drivers license and one of your vaccination card.

That "should" be all that is needed. However, I also saved a screen shot with the code and the printed info. I then opened the page on my laptop, used the "snip" feature in Windows 10 to copy the page, put it into a Word document and then saved it as a PDF. I sent that to myself via email and have it saved on my phone as well. Overkill but what the heck. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks though. Ummm... It specifically says you only have to do it once. It seemed like forever to me but was actually only about 3 weeks. I got a text saying they had updated my information. Since it was a text, when I tried again I used my phone number. Nope. I got the same old immediate reply that it didn't work. Sooo... I tried my email (which had also repeatedly bombed out) and it worked great. I wasn't convinced it would actually work so hadn't submitted my wife's info but, now that I know it can work I've submitted copies of her stuff as well and we will wait again.

First time I submitted the troubleshooting ticket, it didn't have me upload my stuff. Then, a week or so later I got a text that it was fixed. It wasn't. So, I waited another two weeks and tried again. Still broken. New ticket, and uploaded everything. I guess I'll wait until I get a text telling me it's fixed.
