Bring the original. Some have reported not needing it if your uploaded one is verified in the app pre-cruise.

They wanted to see my card. I'm not sure what would have happened if I just opened up a photo in my phone. Phone screen shots of my boarding pass and covid test were fine.

When I checked in for an April  cruise out of FL, it took 2 days. For our May cruise out of Copenhagen, it has already been 2.5 weeks and not verified yet.

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?

You get on much quicker if you have all completed on your phone.  Witnessed it at Miami on the Symphony in February.  We went right on once the bar code was scanned.  Just showed our passports.  We saw others who prefer paper and don't use their phones because they want to shut off world, struggling with their binders and folders.  Need original card.

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?

 

It appeared today.  Might want to check yours too.

I did both my husband's and mine today. His was verified in about an hour and mine I made a slight mistake and had to upload it again and still waiting on verification.

I did my husband and daughter's 2 weeks ago and it took about 3 days. I did mine yesterday and it's up already. Probably just depends on how many they have to do each day.

I've been waiting 2 weeks now for verification. Last cruise (with the same vax cards) it took 3 hours.

No , it does not matter, we are leaving Sunday on our 1Oth cruise since August and have not had the option to download it.  The checkin agents have not even blinked, they simply take a quick picture of your card and you are in your way.  
 

It is my understanding that whether you download it or not, you need to have the original card at checkin.

A little concerned.  Four of us are travelling (2 cabins) and I've uploaded all of our pictures.  One of us keeps getting rejected.  I'm on attempt #4.  I think it's because on her first shot, they put a sticker for the manufacturer's name.  Do you think it will be rejected at the pier?  She is not boosted and does not plan get one.  The uploaded version has her name and date of birth.  TIA

Or, their algorithm is set up to reject any in which the last shot, without booster, is more than 270 days ago?

Ok.  So we definitely need the originals when we cruise.  I was hoping to just use copies.  I guess I’ll just keep them nice and safe with the passports.

Yikes!  Do you think she's going to have a problem boarding?

Out of the US, no, but maybe out of some European ports where that rule is in place.

Thank you, I feel much better!  Our cruise is out of Bayonne and headed to Canada

Now you can worry about Canada specific requirements to board.

Both of my first two shots were stickers and it was accepted in the app.

You need the original.....and if you don't upload it....it will delay you. That is why they are verifying it prior your cruise, so they don't need to do it while you wait.

My experience also.  If doesn't upload not going to worry.  Hard copy in hand when I check in. On Symphony in April didn't want to see my phone, just looked at hard copy.  See what happens in June on the same ship.  LOL

It has nothing to do with stickers. Some of my info is hand written and some is stickers. It was not an issue.

It has taken maybe one minute for the agent to take a picture of my vax card at each of our cruises.  I hardly call that a delay.😂

So my app is still not working. I've been talking with them on Twitter and hoping to get it worked out soon. If that where you are uploading your vaccine information — on your phone?
