You need to select yes for transi even if you don't leave the ship. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an info "here" tag which went to an additional page that mentions ships. That's where I read about the not leaving the ship. Having said that I have started to doubt myself as I don't know what information the ship passes on. I've decided that I did the best I could and they will have to settle for that right or wrong!

Bobblehat71 Posted November 19, 2021 #5 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I put YES on mine but not sure anyone really cares too much. Did you put in all the different islands as stops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing is that we will be home when it's all being checked so what can they do? Jim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad4WDW Posted November 19, 2021 Author #7 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Hi All, Ive done ours now, I ticked yes for all the ports. I’m not sure how we’re even supposed to know whether we’ll go through border controls or not, when we’ve got off the ship on previous cruises sometimes we go through a passport check sometimes we don’t 🤷♂️. I filled ours out in the order we get to the various places so did madeira first then the spanish islands then did portugal last. Everything printed now, just the health declarations to do when we get within 3 days 👍 Just need to figure out what to do at each port as well now 🍹 See you onboard if you’re on N125 Greg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOQ Posted November 19, 2021 #8 Share Posted November 19, 2021 As I have written, I ticked NO, I also put all the islands in date order. It seemed to me that if the arrival and departure dates for each island were always the same and I didn't travel on any trains or planes to answer was no. All very confusing. Now I am worried. What subsequent questions did the form ask if you ticked "YES" ? If you see an anxious looking bloke wandering around in a daze on N125, that will be me. 🥺 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that any more questions were asked except did you visit the mainland. On another issue we found out today that our booster shots are on the NHS app so we've got another travel pass that shows these, just in case!

Paul If you have printed, or downloaded your Covid vaccination record in the last few days, it may be worth doing it again as the third jabs are now showing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the app was updated this morning with the first 2. QR codes and stating 3of 3. It seems only England so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izzywalker Posted November 23, 2021 #21 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Hi all would love to know how this November cruise to Canaries pans out. If anyone could let me know on their return. Eg what was the weather like for late November and your general experiences. thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranchi Posted November 23, 2021 #22 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Our vaccine status shows 3 QR codes (1st, 2nd & booster). The PL form doesn’t want to read 3 codes…it accepts one and then goes on to the next page. I uploaded the 2nd vaccine QR code as that is an acceptable vaccination level for our cruise. I have paper copies & phone copies (app & wallet) of all 3 vaccinations. Has anyone else found they couldn’t upload their complete covid vaccination record? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't work out how to combine Madeira and Portugal so separated them too. Jim All the Canary Islands (technically Madeira is not one) and Madeira are not part of Portugal or Spain. They are autonomous regions which self-govern and therefore make their own rules up independent of any EU country. One might recall the Tenerife airport disaster which was caused by a series of issues, initially a bomb going off at one of the Canary Island airports causing the diversions which overloaded Tenerife. A contingent of early fly cruisers was unfortunately in the Pan Am aircraft. Regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdey16 Posted November 24, 2021 #24 Share Posted November 24, 2021 If you get fed up of keep printing your COVID passes you can also apply on NHS line for a Covid letter that has no end date for travel , it takes a couple of weeks to come through but very easy to do , so we no longer have run out dates on our passes my husband has done it for all the family and now in process doing it again for FIL because his booster is now on his records only after a week having it Apologies if you all know this but I just haven’t heard anyone talking about it , it has the barcodes all the same but no run out dates , just saying to save your printer inks 😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They now sit in our travel folder along with relevant insurance printouts. When the time comes we just add in e tickets and boarding passes etc, so very to present to check in staff. Have requested new letters since getting boostered on Monday. First time round the letters only took a couple of days to arrive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
