BuckeyeMark Posted April 20, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 20, 2022 What do I need to show at the port? Printed results? Are they happy to look at the app? Does this load into the RCI app tomorrow when I can answer the health questions and so I don't need anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subman738 Posted April 20, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Either will work, BUT I would have a hard copy in my hand and rely on just the email in case there are issues with puling up the info on your phone in the terminal. My son ran into this issue during a recent cruise and almost didn't get on board. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted April 20, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 20, 2022 The staff we have talked with really seem to prefer the printed version, less touching and farging with your phone. BTW: Using cut and paste is much easier when you print the test onto paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soremekun Posted April 20, 2022 #5 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Cell reception can be poor in some terminals (Miami and Bayonne). Bring printed results, save the file to your phone, or take a screenshot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dad son team Posted April 20, 2022 #7 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I used the Navica app with no issues. I open it before I get to the terminal so it's already good by the time I get there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my post cruise surveys, I always mention bad cell reception at the terminal, if I experience it. A picocell or metrocell could easily resolve the problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelhound Posted April 20, 2022 #12 Share Posted April 20, 2022 We were already in a hotel in FL when we took the tests so it wasn't easy to print. However, we took screenshots on our phone and had the app. We had cell reception and that worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the emed routine does includes an email that I can send to a printer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasukkie Posted April 20, 2022 #14 Share Posted April 20, 2022 You don't need to worry about cell reception if you save it as a pdf on your phone. I love paperless boarding. Boarding pass on the app. Proof of vaccination saved as pdf through Docket app. eMed negative test saved to phone. The staff are very comfortable reading phones. Very fast process. Just need a passport app next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "silliest" people in line are those families with Techno-Expert dad trying to open a family's worth of password protected test results, followed by vaccine cards, followed by sea pass cards. The rest of us just flash our old-fashion paper at the checkers and walk right by. Or those who go into the terminal and lose phone signal, fighting to pull stuff up from apps.

Surfguyxxx Posted April 21, 2022 #18 Share Posted April 21, 2022 As many suggested, bring both. We had terrible reception at the Port Canaveral pier last November and had to get out of the line and see what we could do. Finally got it and took a picture as the internet kept dropping. Not the biggest problem in the world, just frustrating. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel cell phones are expensive and folks just whip them out for everything and then if they drop it - oh well then what. I keep my iphone in my purse 90% of the time. and even on the ship app, gets funny just like sometimes at Disney (bless their hearts they try). and paper can be recycled so no need to be anti paper folks. I will use paper next week when getting on Symphony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted April 21, 2022 #20 Share Posted April 21, 2022 If you go to settings on phone and look for shortcut keys it will tell you what to press for screenshots. Mine is the power/fingerprint sensor pressed twice quickly. And it gets saved to a strange folder I can't find easily. What I usually do is create a folder on computer and phone for that cruise and store everything there. Copy computer folder to phone just before the cruise. Then at least I can find the stuff.

It is very easy to print out. Last cruise we did our test at the hotel and then went to their business center and printed our results….easy peasy!!

I do not travel with computer so I would do it at home. For now Walgreens is still doing the 2 hours turn around I have heard that CVS is trying to change web to price out the antigen but then again, CVS has stopped a lot of locations and does continue to be annoying. oh well.

First time in a junior suite as well. I did the Wonder, but I think I will also like SOS. Capt Rob at captain corner who left SOS to do Wonder, said the SOS is just perfect. It will be nice to compare the ice and water shows. BUT, still no Hairspray - oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
