breadandbutter Posted April 5, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) This evening I received 7 emails within 10 minutes from... Carnival Cruise Line <funships@carnivalcruiselineemail.com> about VeriFLY. Just checking if this is legit? As it looks like spam to me. Thanks for any help B&B Edited April 5, 2022 by breadandbutter typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kona_wahine Posted April 5, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I didn’t respond on that link above, but ya, verifly does make it easier. Out of Pt Canaveral they made sure we had it open when we went inside the building as there was no cell service inside the building. We just had to show the app. As for it being 7 emails, ya, what the heck Carnival? Both hubby and I got that many. Must be a hitch in their get a long. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfrodo Posted April 5, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 5, 2022 We used VeriFLY out of Miami on the Freedom. They did not ask for but I let them know. They were pleased. Called someone over, checked a few boxes and off we went. Did not have to provide any of our hard copy documentation at the initial check in station. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kctwinmommy Posted April 5, 2022 #5 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I've had a few emails in the past few weeks, ALL the same exact email topic each time, and they sent I think 5 copies in a matter of 2 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satxdiver Posted April 6, 2022 #10 Share Posted April 6, 2022 We received 16 emails Monday all within a few minutes of each other. Looks like they really messed up. Sent them all to the trash bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they really messed up. Sent them all to the trash bin. Yeah I guess John Heald had a FB post about it. We're not even doing the Verifly. I just didn't have the time and read about such mixed reviews with it. I've had too much other stuff going on that stressed me out. So no biggie. We'll bring our paper stuff, it doesn't bother me any. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiredogCruiser Posted April 7, 2022 #12 Share Posted April 7, 2022 We had a good experience in Port Everglades with Holland America, but not so good with Carnival in Port Canaveral, had to verify everything there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe817 Posted April 7, 2022 #13 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I think it's still in beta testing. I'm not going to use it until they smooth it out, and everyone at Carnival knows how to use it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilovesailaway Posted April 7, 2022 #14 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Wait Carnival is having a tech issue and sending out erroneous emails? Maybe someone should call them and let them know......lmao 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I am having difficulty with is their inability to resolve them. They seem to careen from one web related problem to another on a far to frequent basis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyloRen Posted April 7, 2022 #17 Share Posted April 7, 2022 (edited) Went on a cruise 2 weeks ago and I have to say it was incredibly easy to use verifly. it really streamlined my embarkation. Even let me upload multiple cruises I am booked on Edited April 7, 2022 by KyloRen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelicanBill Posted April 9, 2022 #18 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Someone should send Carnival 25 or 30 emails to tell them this is happening. LOL. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kafraser78 Posted April 20, 2022 #19 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I tried uploading my Vaccine Certificate with the QR code and the App wont take it. 🤷♀️ I really wanted to use the App, but paper copies seem so much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlktx49 Posted April 20, 2022 #20 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Leaving Saturday on a cruise, got email from Carnival today "strongly encouraging" me to use VeriFLY, so I got the app and actually read all the fine print before signing up. Nope, not doing it, makes it quite clear they will share/sell your info to all kinds of companies. There is enough of that as is. Using my paper copies of everything has not been an issue, get checked in very quickly in Galveston, so will continue to do this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you select to input manually, it only takes about 10 minutes to receive confirmation that you're good to go. I don't know of anybody who has successfully used the QR code.

victory2020 Posted April 20, 2022 #22 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I;m trying to enter info for a flight to a cruise May 19. I was able to do the cruise but not the air to Europe & back. Am I doing it too early or is there a glitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icft Posted April 20, 2022 #23 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Has anyone calculated how much time it takes them to enter all the info into the VeriFly app? On our last cruise I started to try to use it but after 15 minutes of trying to take my picture (move camera closer, move camera away... endless cycle) I said the heck with it. It took less than thirty seconds for each of us for them to look at our paper test result and vaccine cards (out and in hand as we approached the counter). It took a bit longer for them to fool around with the passports. I don't see any time savings for us and only minor time savings for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's not about you and it is about them. If at the end of the day, they can knock off 1 hour of processing time among 2500 passengers and get everyone aboard the ship smoother and faster, that saves them time and money which may or may not reduce the amount of increase in the cost to cruise. Think big picture. The only thing constant in life is change. Edited April 21, 2022 by klfrodo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
