It's really frustrating, isn't it. I'm only 7 days past the 42 day window, and I'm thinking it's highly unlikely we'll be able to get a third shot any time soon. 

That is what I figure as well. I'm pretty sure it is going to be a very long time before we're able to get a 3rd vaccination. I wonder if the cruise lines will start requiring a 3rd vaccination in the the future.

DO NOT WORRY!  You will be fine with doses more than 42 days apart as long as they were both Pfizer or Moderna.  I had this same worry and expressed it here in a thread about a month ago.  Lots of us wrote to Michael Bayley (CEO) and we received personal responses directly from his office saying we were fine to sail even if we were beyond the 42 days mentioned.  

 

I can confirm that this is true since all six of us in my family were vaccinated more than 42 days apart and we just returned from the Odyssey this past Sunday (it was amazing by the way).  They looked VERY closely at our documentation for our vaccinations and recorded both the dates of both shots and the type of vaccine into their systems.  They later checked our documents a 2nd time as we made the final clearance to board the ship (just in front of where the ship photographers try to take your boarding photo).  You will not trick them by presenting questionable documentation, so do not even try.

 

As long as you did not mix vaccines or use AZ, you will be clear to sail with RCCL.  Hopefully, those who had mixed vaccines or got AZ will be cleared to sail soon, since that is many Canadians.

Thanks! This is a big relief. 🙂   I have two cruises booked and I'm worried I'd get rejected at the port during embarkation.

@whippet0I figured it was either dogs, or perhaps those marshmallow cookies. I love whippets; we have two greyhounds, a big boy from West Virginia and a tiny girl from Ireland many people assume is a whippet. 🙂 

I get that as well.  Alot of people don't know what a whippet is and mistake my dogs for greyhounds.  🙂

Completely off topic, do you have whippets? 

I have two whippets.  I guess my name "whippet0", gives it away, eh?  🙂  

My wife and I have had two doses of the Pfizer covid-19 vaccine but they are more than 42 days apart (Mine is 46 days apart and my wife's is 60 days apart). The Pfizer guidelines state that the two doses must be between 28 and 42 days apart. Does this mean my vaccation will not be recognized by the CDC?

We live in Ontario and that was the absolute earliest possible time we could get our second dose. I'm wondering if this means we will no longer be able to take a cruise.  😞

where want you want :

We always want all of our Sailors to feel comfortable. We encourage you to wear more than a bathing suit if you go to a restaurant and kindly consider shoes, but your style is your style. Who are we to judge?

This is one of the reasons why my next cruise is on the Scarlet Lady. :) I don't like the idea of being forced go wear clothes I don't feel comfortable in just to be allowed to eat supper.

My cruise on the Valiant Lady in January 2022 was just cancelled. I'm so happy, though, because I was able to re-book two back-to-back cruises on the Scarlet in February 2022 with the 200% cruise credit i received.  I now have a slightly longer cruise and it cost me less money.  🙂
