Laplayaperson Posted May 13, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 13, 2022 We were able to upload successfully all requested documents/test results for our upcoming cruise to Verifly and now have a "Ready to Sail" view pass under our accounts. Although we never got an email from Carnival, will we be able to use this service? (We will still bring our papers too just in case, but just curious and excited to try this new app...). Thank you!

klfrodo Posted May 13, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Yes, you'll be able to use it. Just let them know that you have it completed when you arrive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laplayaperson Posted May 13, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Thank you! I'm sorry I should have read on Carnival's site, but I found this too! "Do I need to send you my vaccine card and test results in advance? We encourage vaccinated guests to use VeriFLY, a secure, free digital health application that allows them the ability to easily upload required pre-embarkation information, like their vaccine attestation, proof of vaccination, negative COVID-19 test results, and their health assessment. Completing these tasks before check-in will make embarkation a faster and more seamless experience. Unvaccinated guests or vaccinated guests who are unable to complete the VeriFLY process must present the required COVID-19 documentation at the time of check-in."

Laplayaperson Posted May 13, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted May 13, 2022 What are the benefits of Verifly? Just makes things faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChattTenn Posted May 13, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 13, 2022 On MG 4/30. We completed Verifly (got Ready to sail on our phone) 2 days before sailing. Once at the pier the agent (must be a newbie) checked us in re-did everything from picture/copy the vaccine card/Covid Test. We felt it was a waste of our time she did not take too long do do all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostwick girl Posted May 13, 2022 #6 Share Posted May 13, 2022 It just depends on the port, the agent you get and how knowledgeable they are! Have had it go both ways so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those technologically inclined, yes...they will save about 30 or 45 seconds in the boarding process. For those technologically challenged(like I am), I cannot justify the time required to learn how to do it....if that makes sense. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stjohnbeachlover Posted May 14, 2022 #8 Share Posted May 14, 2022 We used Verifly on an Alaskan cruise last week. It took 30 minutes from the time we were dropped off until we were sitting in our cabin. It was the fastest check-in ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For you and your family? Very minimal. For the cruise line trying to board 3000 to 6000 people? I'm sure it will be huge once they get the tech adverse to buy in. I would venture a guess that this new boarding and document procedure was the result of either a LEAN project or a Six Sigma project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare csoud68 Posted May 14, 2022 #10 Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) Remember, verifly only works with fully vaxxed people..it you unvaxxed, or have had your initial shots but aren't up to date, you will have to show your test results from the previous 48 hours.. Don't waste your time. Edited May 14, 2022 by csoud68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved using my phone all week for menus, wine list, platinum benefits, etc. People should at least give it a chance before relenting and requesting paper copies of everything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others in our group checking in on both sides of us at the same time just showed Verifly and was good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much as people being tech adverse, but people are getting real tire of having to have another app just to do something. Also so many apps end up leaking data that should not be leaked.
