Alaska Aug/Sept Sailings - Sill Need Vaccinations & Neg Test Results

[Ferry_Watcher]

 

While a new streamlined check-in procedure was rolled out at Seattle's Pier 91 this past Friday (8/12/22), passengers 12 and older are still required to be fully vaccinated, and to arrive at embarkation with proof of a negative Covid test result.  Passengers still must  show proof of vaccination.  Any passenger 12 yrs or older arriving at the pier not fully vaccinated will be denied boarding.

 

Children 2-11 yrs old who are not fully vaccinated will still need to have proof of a negative Covid test result, and will  be also tested at the pier.

So what exactly is more streamlined?  I'm cruising in a few weeks out of Pier 91.  I'm hoping it's better than my May check-in because that was a disaster.

The wellness interview.  Agents still must see the proof of vaccination and the negative covid test result, as well as ask only three health questions:

Are you more than 23 weeks pregnant?

Have you received a Covid-19 Booster? (yes or no, answer does not matter)

Are you fully vaccinated for Covid-19?

 

Agents do not have to 'capture photos of vax card, nor ask any of the old 10-12 health questions.  Much easier for everyone.
