What is considered vaccinated?

[NCteacherlovescruising]

We have a 5 night cruise booked for December.  I believe with cruises this short all I need is to be vaccinated, no need for covid testing.  Correct?  But what is considered vaccinated?  It's been a long time since I've received a booster shot.

The original 2 doses, or 1 if J&J.

Boosters aren’t required.

 

but you have plenty of time to get one between now and December

Correct, if you are vaccinated, there's no need to test. You are beyond vaccinated since you've had a booster.

The bivalent boosters are not currently required but they could always add that as a requirement, especially if CDC updates its definition of "fully vaccinated."  I belong to an organization that just switched to that requirement this week, with proof of needing the bivalent booster by end of November.

Thanks!  Looks like we’re all set.

Or if Celebrity changes their definition of fully vaccinated, I guess one could produce a negative covid test in lieu of getting a booster.

Guessing only leads to trouble.  If the start to require a booster, thats one thing.  A negative test is another

Actually I believe after October 6,  that most cruises now do not require any vaccination at all unless required by a county you are visited.  If unvaccinated on a cruise 10 days or longer you are required to do a home Covid test and take a picture showing date and time
