Escape going to Malta - Verifly still needed?

[barbuda]

Wondering if anyone out there has recently sailed on the Escape to Malta and whether or not we still have to fill out the forms on Verifly?  I've heard different stories that it isn't needed anymore, yet NCL has it listed as needing the app and getting your vax and neg test uploaded in order to get off the ship.

I just returned from the June 10-20 sailing on NCL Escape. We received a letter in our cabin about the Verifly requirement the night before arriving in Malta, but it also stated that if you haven’t completed it you can just show your Covid vaccination card. We brought our cards with us on our excursion, expecting to show it when asked.  However,  no one from the cruise line or Malta authorities asked us to see any of the requirements.  It was good that we had our cards on us “just in case,” but not one person asked us to see our cards or Verifly.  
 

Enjoy your cruise!

Thanks so much for the response!  We leave in 3 days....one less thing to worry about.

 

Off to get the pre-cruise testing done - fingers crossed our group is all negative!

We were on the same cruise and had the same experience as this.
