Mixed vaccines accepted! Yay!

[bcwife76]

I'm freaking annoyed with DCL, they are now the only major cruiseline that has yet to update their vaccine policies. Even MSC has updated theirs

...and then there was one left... from NCL

Yay! NCL had become my fav cruise line pre-covid so happy and relieved to see this posted.

Well, given that their homepage still refers to cruising resuming in August 2021... Even more, the CDC, with their updated CSO published yesterday explicitly states in that documentation that mixed vaccination is to be considered as "fully vaccinated"

 

[yowcruiser]

Well, DCL just updated the date on the Know before you go page... but no changes yet to the vaccination requirements...

Oy How odd! So what exactly did they update then?

I think it could be the debarkation testing, which is now antigen and for unvaccinated guests only

If anyone is looking for a "proof" that DCL is monitoring blogs such as this one... above is the before... below is the after... Or maybe this was planed all along for November 1st

And yet they still have not updated the vaccine policies

I check a couple times a day and it just keeps saying "Last Updated on October 26, 2021"....

How long does it take for a change they had to have anticipated was coming ?????

Right? MSC was the only other "hold out" and they updated their guidance over a week ago!

Hi all! I'm late to the party, but just wanted to check: my hubby is AZ+Moderna, I'm Pfizer x 2, are we both able to travel to the US now? We are going to DLR in early December :O

Yes!!

 

[CharleneTheDM]

Yes!!

Yay! Thanks for confirming!

So now, is the process still the same - Antigen test to enter the US and PCR test to come back to Canada + ARRIVECAN proof?

I feel like things keep changing and I'm so anxious I'll mess it up :O

 

[ottawamom]

Antigen test only if flying into the US. If you're driving that one is not necessary.

Yes, and like @ottawamom said, you only need the antigen test if flying to the US, you don't need if it you are entering the US via the land border. You still need the PCR test to come back to Canada regardless of whether it's via land or air. Also, like you said you need to fill out the Arrivecan app and you need to prove you are vaccinated so have your cards ready to enter into the app.

Ugh, AGAIN I got excited because "know before you go" shows updated as of November 2nd .....well I don't know what was updated but it still was NOT about vaccines.

Does anyone know if you need to use the arrivecan app thingy (I seriously haven’t been paying attention to this at all ) will need to be used at the land border for re-entry?

Yep, you need that app for the land border and the airport.

Ugh . Thx! If they could just nix that & the ridiculous re-entry test for the fully vaxxed that’d be just swell

...and I pretty much stopped believing the prevailing theory that the web site is not being updated because DCL is slow... Two weeks with minor updates... but nothing yet on that issue.
