Uploading vaccine certs

[lachelli]

Hello 

 

Just wondering how long it generally takes for uploaded vaccine certs to be verified? 

 

TIA

2-3 days has been my experience. No idea what RCI is actually doing during that "process".

its been 2 weeks for husband and I and is the 5th time we have uploaded.  Only difference is there was a spot for the booster shot so I suspect that may be the issue.  We never entered it before.  If worse comes to worse, they can look at it at the port.

If you are working on two weeks then there sure is a lot of variability on time frames. I wonder if it was 2 days for me because I had cruised 3 months ago and the info was the same?

The only difference is the booster vaccine upload.  I had booster in December but didn't put it in as it wasn't really part of the 2 shot process for Moderna and I didn't want confusion.  Plus at that time there wasn't a spot to add it.  Im not that concerned as they will check anyway at port.

Ours has been verified around the 7 day mark each time.  I 

wouldn’t worry about it though, you will still have to show it at the port and I am sure that many folks don’t upload it prior to the cruise. 😀

Ours was a 1 or 2 days for our last 3 cruises but no worries as long as you bring your vax card to check in at terminal you will be fine.

For our first cruise it took weeks to verify.

[mizLORInj]

Just took 4 days to show as verified for an upcoming cruise.   

 

No need to load booster information.

It took 3 hours for a March cruise. But I'm a week into the process for a June cruise.

Took a little under a week for mine to be verified. My wife's still wasn't, so I re-uploaded her info and it was verified with 2 days.

dumb question.... I didn't even know this was a pre-cruise thing. Is there somewhere in my cruise planner that I have to upload vaccine proof prior to cruising?

When you do the check in on the app it will ask you to take a picture of the vaccine card

thanks! how many days before the cruise typically does the check in app appear, or can i download that at anytime and get that going?

[shof515]

45 days before sail date

Ours has been only taking a few days to be approved. The booster section is the latest change that I have seen.

We were able to check in a couple of weeks ago and we still do not have the place to be able to put our vaccine information.  Same for almost all on our sailing too.

The vax upload option may take a few days to show up - usually the third item down on the check in tab.

It has been weeks, it isn't there.  Health and safety is the third option and says we can answer questions on May 15.

The vax option shows up just above that, if it ever shows up. Try logging out/ then back in or even uninstall/reinstall.

[barbeyg]

Our first ones in the group took about 12 days, the last one took a few days.

Thanks but we have tried all that, as have many of those on our sailing.  We will just show it when we check in.

well, someone looks at each one.....and it depends on priority so nothing to worry about

 

[cruzvaca]

So I thought it was just me but I do not have that option either to upload the vaccination card.  We are sailing from Seattle for Alaska in May … maybe that is why?

[topnole]

Does it even matter?  I assume you still have to show it in person when checking in?   Curious what happens if you don’t submit it online?

 

Also, is a photo ok at the port or do you need the original vaccination card?
