How long to validate your vaccination record once uploaded?

[Momto3girlsintheCarolinas]

Greetings!

 

I must say that this is the most stressed I have ever been in advance of a vacation. These boards have been very helpful!  Thank you!

 

If you have RECENTLY uploaded your vaccination record, how long did it take RCI to validate it?  I am just curious as to the run time these days.

 

TIA.

you may want to check a couple of pages of threads - questions like yours are very common and come up literally every day.

Mine still hasn't been done.  I'm not going to sweat it.  We'll have the original with us at the port.

When we upload ours, the Vaccination flag turns green immediately, and we've never seen anything on the app that says they haven't been validated yet. In the end it really makes no difference, because they will check your vaccination cards against the images as soon as you enter the terminal to board - and about four more times before you actually set foot on the ship.

This is a truly excellent point.  lol

Its been 2 weeks for me since I uploaded cards. Still validating as of today

Our cards were uploaded about 3.5 weeks ago.  Green check for a couple of days.  Then to the "validating".  So over three weeks so far.

It is what it is at this point.  They can validate all they want.

We don't even get the request to upload ours until 8-9 days out from our cruises. Just got the upload screen this morning for our 11/21 cruise.

👍…..I checked in with the app on 10/30 for a 11/28 cruise so almost 2 weeks. The app did let me upload the cards during check in. Validating ever since. Not to worried. Hopefully it will all work out

I believe it is validated at the pier check in.

ours will be different because we got boosters after I uploaded the cards.

We cruise 11/28, uploaded ours over a week ago.  Said validating every day until last night.  I had to sign out and back in again each day as the app seems to not update very well...now it shows both of our cards have been validated and we will only need to answer the health questions to complete check-in.

We already had our boosters on our cards (9/10/21) well before we uploaded our cards for our 10/10 Allure cruise, and they only  checked the date of our second dose of vaccine. They didn't seem to care about the booster date, only the dates of the first two doses.

I cruise on 11/27, and it was validated for almost 3 weeks, it turned green a couple of days ago.

A day later my friend's Vaccine status turned red "Unable to validate". I think she needs to re-upload her card.

Update: today 11/13 status shows as validated

Not until close to sail date. I uploaded ours a while ago, they were in “validating” status for weeks, and just today I saw they have Accepted status, and we sail in 8 days.

[Cigar King]

Ours just validated today.  (We sail on the 28th)
