Vaccinated including booster, still need a test prior to the port?

Below is from the Disney cruise web site.

It seems to say guests ”not vaccine-eligible“ must have a test taken 3 days to 24 hours prior to boarding. Just to confirm, if you have had vaccines, you only need to upload the documentation? I know there is a test AT the port for everyone.

is this correct? Thanks!

• Guests who are not vaccine-eligible because of age must provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test result (paid for by the Guest) taken between 3 days and 24 hours before their sail date. Guests ages 5 through 11 may complete this testing requirement in lieu of being fully vaccinated for sailings that depart before January 13, 2022. Guests 4 years of age and under must complete the testing requirements. The test should be a NAAT test, rapid PCR test or lab-based PCR test. Rapid antigen tests are not accepted. Disney Cruise Line has secured a special rate of $98.33 per PCR test (which includes a 3.5% processing fee) through our third-party vendor, Inspire Diagnostics. Guests may also obtain their test from any independent testing supplier.

If vaccinated you only need the one at the port prior to boarding and prior to getting off the ship.

Why is there a test before debarking?

Why is there a test before debarking?

From the DCL website:

Debarkation Day COVID-19 Testing: All unvaccinated Guests on 5-night and longer sailings are required to take a COVID-19 antigen test (paid for by Disney Cruise Line) on the ship the day before debarking.

Schmoo is correct (of course)--right now, debarkation testing is only for the unvaxxed. However, it remains to be seen what rules will be in place for the Alaska and Europe cruises this summer (and the repositioning cruises that end in Canada or Europe), since none of those have happened yet, and there could well be debarkation testing for those given they end in a foreign country. We just don't know yet.

great! Thank you!

You don't need a test before you get off if you're vaccinated.

You don't have to, but you might want to take a rapid test the day before you leave for your trip, just to lower the chances of traveling all the way to the port while Covid positive, and then being turned away on embarkation day.
