How was the proof of jab and insurance go ?

[MX-Drew]

Proof of jab and insurance was “do you have insurance?” 
Nothing on proof of jabs.

Reading on book of faces someone was turned away as they didnt have proof of jabs.  Hopefully they have actually had their jabs and can sort it somehow.  (This was where they are checking whilst you are in the car)

Oh dear

That’s not very reassuring for the cruise-hesitant is it?

Onboard, and having lunch.

 

Wow, I've lost my appetite for chicken curry (morrisons jalfrezi) and homebrew. Save me some of the carved sirloin and sticky muscavado and freshly squeezed .......

Apparently the ship is not ready to receive us.🤷‍♂️

Shame that, especially as they have had over 18 months to get ready for you!😇

Watching Southampton Port TV on Solent Ships vlogg. They keep panning round and zooming in on the Britannia . People arriving . Exciting 

Ah thanks rumbalizw my first attempt to find live vid showed a (civic building?) with a clocktower and the prow of Britannia just about visible. Persisting with Google I found this (must watch the sailaway) :-

We arrived by taxi and the only proof we had to show was the result of the LTF.

We are one or two glasses of champagne, a glass of red and a glass of white wine down and a meal and feeling very relaxed and comfortable.

We highly advise a P&O staycation.🤗🥂

Am I misreading or does this imply that there could (stress: could) be unvaccinated pax on board?

Unlikely I think, as everyone knew that vaccinations were required, so I cannot see why anyone would take the chance of turning up,  knowing that they would be turned away if they had no proof of vaccination. 

[Eddie99]

but from now on….?

People reading this & hearing other reports & deciding to give it a go?

Who knows?

At the end of the day ,the vaccination only stops you from becoming really unwell if you were to catch Covid. You'll still catch it if in a situation where you're at risk . It's the regular testing which is the big thing here .

Not so it also reduces the chances of you passing it on if you do get it.

It is outrageous if true they are not checking vaccinations if it is a requirement of the cruise

We were asked if we had been vaccinated but no proof shown.

It's not as if it hasn't been made perfectly clear that proof was needed has it . Hope they can upload the app in time to prove it . That's if they have the means to .

Just go to muster station as soon as you board and get boarding pass scanned then go to cabin. Simples.

At least there is no 'champagne' as featured in peninsular club lunches. It can dissolve your teeth from under the enamel 😱

https://www.pocruises.com/cruise-with-confidence It seems that vaccinations are required. Half way down, the question "Are you likely to Introduce vaccination .." P&O on "getaway" (seacation) cruises states that vaccinations are required but makes no reference to proof required ...
