Vaccine Card at Terminal Check In Question

[Cruisin Castaway]

I know that you must upload your vaccine card to the Safe Passage website. Do they also ask for the physical card at check in at the terminal?

They suggest you bring it, but so far I've cruised twice and neither time did they ask to see the CDC card.

I have cruised three times so far and have never been asked to show my vaccine card. I have had it attached to my passport each time, so it was there if needed.

I suspect that they ask you to bring your card in case something goes wrong with Safe Passage. You also might want to have it if you need medical attention in a foreign country. And I wouldn't be too surprised to see some other countries (or cities within countries) introduce vaccine requirements for certain restaurants, shops, and attractions. So, best to just bring it anyway, I think.

The only thing we were asked to see was our port arrival form. This was on the Oct 9-16 Fantasy cruise out of PC.

I suspect this will be like the great passport vs birth certificate debate. A physical vaccine card is not required to board the ship; they just look it up via safe passage by scanning the QR code. Whether you need one depends on risk tolerance.

Thank you for the feedback. We will bring our physical card with us, but was curious if they were asking for it.
