railman Posted May 9, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Is the NY Excelsior Plus Pass acceptable at the port (In California) or do we need the original paper vaccination cards? I asked this question in the COVID topic but received no answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted May 9, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 9, 2022 What is it??? Is it your state registry of covid vax??? We have that here in California too but we use our paper vax cards as proof Your state proof should also work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted May 9, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 9, 2022 When it comes to what Princess says on their website or on the app...I don't trust. I bring my passport, my hard copy vaccination card, and printed copy of covid pre-cruise lab results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruzin4us Posted May 9, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Does it have a QR code that can be scanned? We here in Calif have a similar registry which has a QR code that can be scanned. I still bring my vaccination cards as it seems to work better (for me anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted May 9, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Here is what Princess website says: In my case, my printed Excelsior pass shows the dates and type of vax, but the app does not show that info, it only shows that I've had three. I haven't scanned my pass QR code to see what it displays or if it works. I suggest you check what the QR code scan displays before you rely on it. Separately from boarding, I was recently in Canada and I had to show proof of vax to eat indoors. Only half of the restaurants we visited had QR scanners, the rest wanted to see the CDC card. So depending on the policies of the countries you visit, your CDC card might be needed too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railman Posted May 9, 2022 Author #6 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Thanks for the replies. It does have a QR code and shows all the vaccination doses. It shows dates, where they were administered, and lot numbers. Will probably bring the paper copy as a back up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruzin4us Posted May 9, 2022 #7 Share Posted May 9, 2022 This is my thought: I bring my vaccine card in case I drop my phone overboard or lose it. I bring my State issued vaccine record with my QR code in case I lose my vaccine card. I'd rather be safe than sorry.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negn Posted May 9, 2022 #8 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I did use mine back in Nov but I had my card in my wallet for backup if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tap on the image of your Excelsior Pass, the second screen has your QR code, and a spot to tap for vaccination details, the details include Date of vacination, Type, the Vacination site and lot number for your vacine. Everything you need is available in the APP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the exact same thing in January with the Excelsior Pass Plus and I had no difficulty at all. My only suggestion is that you print out the pass plus and let them scan that lest you have an issue bringing it up on a phone or tablet. Enjoy your cruise. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaccinations won't always appear in the Excelsior Pass Plus. NYS doesn't count vaccinations which were given out of state or from non-NYS Health Department regulated providers. You may have to jump through some hoops to get the booster shot on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geocruiser Posted May 10, 2022 #15 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I can only find my first two shots. I entered the two booster yesterday. They showed up then. Closed the app, reopened it and now I don't see the boosters. Any way to find them again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had understood the Health Department needs to do that data entry after your health care provider updates your record in the state vaccination data base. It can take up to three days for Excelsior Pass Plus to show any boosters. The original Excelsior Pass won't show any boosters.

I follow the instructions, put in name, DOB and date of last shot (not booster). Then a page came up showing when when I had the boosters. All the info about my two boosters came up. Then I closed the app, reopened it and the boosters don't show now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geocruiser Posted May 10, 2022 #18 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I GOT it (I think) I did the plus pass again. It then told me to save into my wallet. But it also said my phone could not support the save. I click it any how. It seems to be saved. I will now close the app and see what happens.

It could download the original Excelsior Pass but it can't get the Pass Plus. A newer tablet has the Pass Plus downloaded and it shows everything on that one. Glad for you that it seems to be resolved. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
