D & S Posted May 4, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 4, 2022 What type of covid test proof are the cruise lines requiring when you take the 2 day pre board test - Email or paper sufficient? one of the major drug stores send you an email. Some give a paper copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted May 4, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I print out my set sail pass (just the pass) and now print out my negative results (if I only get them in an email). I prefer paper back up...just in case. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njkruzer Posted May 4, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Agree, I bring paper. Easier to just hand to checkin person then to try and pull everything up on your phone. Goes faster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, I have seen pax depend on their phones, and have difficulties with them, holding up the line of pax behind them. Battery dead, bad signal, can't find the link, etc...etc. Two sheets of paper, simple to hand over with passport. I like simple. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabulous97 Posted May 4, 2022 #6 Share Posted May 4, 2022 RCI app and paper (belt and braces!) From the U.K. now they want you to upload everything to the app and not speak to a check in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No uploading of passport and your photo? You go into the terminal they take your bags from you at the car park. You have to put all your passport details and upload a photo to the app, your phone gets blipped and then the room key is in your cabin. You take a photo of your passport with your phone and upload. Register a credit card and good to go. incredibly quick last cruise from Southampton. We did have to go to the “naughty” queue as I am married to a Swede who has lived in the U.K. for 30 years but still has a Swedish passport. If you held a British passport no issue. From the car park to boarding was literally 10 minutes! Bit like fast bag drop at the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njkruzer Posted May 5, 2022 #9 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Ok for those who are tech savvy but I know I've met several people onboard who are definitely not. Yes sounds much easier but for our current cruise when I tried to download a picture I've used before it was accepted. Picture at checkin. Also test weren't done until just before flying or onboard for consecutive cruisers so not always possible to download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph2017China Posted May 5, 2022 #10 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) Always bring paper copies....so yo just can hand it to the check in person, w/o trying to go through multiple emails on phones, or apps, etc.....Just so much easier for yourself, them, and everyone behind you. Plus, I'm tech savy, have everything on my phone.....but paper is just so much easier at times. Edited May 5, 2022 by Joseph2017China 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
