You could pay for a private medical charter ($$$$) back home (covered by some travel insurance). AND then there is Amtrak - Seattle to Chicago (Empire Builder train #8) or Seattle to Los Angeles (Coast Starlight train #11) if the airlines won't accept you.

Ask if NCL will allow you to board using that document as there are specific requirements. I did and have it in an email that my document is acceptable; I can prove I was vaccinated in an acceptable method. Copies and scans are not valid forms of proof of vaccination. If you were to email that information and your PCC were to open and store that information (e.g., having a temp file created when they open the scan), would be a violation of HIPAA health privacy in the U.S. And your PCC is a minimum wage marketing call center sales person. And has zero knowledge of the protocols that will be used at check in at the port. Stick to the official, published protocols and information sent to you directly from the cruise line regarding your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amtrak requires everyone to log on prior to their trip and verify that they do not have COVID, do not meet the criteria for needing to quarantine (like just testing COVID-positive).

casofilia Posted July 23, 2021 #54 Share Posted July 23, 2021 @BirdTravels I wouldn't like to turn up carrying my vaccination documentation to be told that was not acceptable. I made sure that it would be acceptable by emailing the scan of it to my PCC and asked him to seek that it was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal started with no testing, then added pre-embarkation test when they had covid aboard. And they still had covid onboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a long walk from Miami to Philadelphia Lol That's exactly my fear for even 2 years from now- I would be doing PHL to Seattle. I actually haven't flown in 10 years since my Epic cruise to Miami- I've been cruising only from NYC as I enjoyed the Breakaway and Escape. BTW- fond memories of spending time with my grandparents in Montco in the 70's-80's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrown84 Posted July 24, 2021 #59 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I've been thinking about cancelling my cruise in December, and it looks like this thread has convinced me to cancel. I'm not so fearful of being denied in Florida, although that would suck. I'm more afraid of testing positive trying to reboard at a foreign port. Looks like it will be December, 2022 for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on Royal's first cruise out of Nassau. In our case, failing the embarkation test would mean being stranded in the Bahamas. Everyone came, took the test, passed the test, and had a great cruise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guests who are denied boarding due to a violation of protocols, for example not testing in advance, will not receive a refund. https://www.ncl.com/ca/en/sail-safe Keep an an eye on the link, as info seems to change frequently Thank you for the link! I just made a post basically asking for this exact info so thank you!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPAA only applies to so-called “covered entities”, like health care providers and insurance companies. Doesn’t apply to cruise consultants. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
