Is everyone still bringing their vaccination cards?

[8esther8]

We cruise on Saturday to the Caribbean -- St Thomas, Labadee, San Juan, Coco Cay-- any reason to bring our vaccination cards?

I carry a copy of mine in my wallet. I also have a picture of it on my phone. I don't know if the original is required anywhere anymore but I would take it with me on a cruise just in case.

We do, they are in our passport wallet.

I bring them but leave them in the safe, just in case we would be asked.

Can't hurt.

I’m a better safe than sorry guy so I’d bring it, but 99% chance you won’t need it. Our last cruise 3 weeks ago, we were supposed to bring proof of a negative test but the only thing that was asked is if we were vaccinated.  No one asked to see anything.

I won't bring them if not required.

Why would anyone ask if it is not required?

I had mine in my wallet on Nov 7 when boarding Celebrity Silhouette, but never even thought about it. And of course I didn't need it. I hope I'll never have need to think about it again.

When we processed in for our current cruise on Jewel at PC the attendant asked if we were vaccinated. We replied yes and do you need to see our cards. She most emphatically said "absolutely not".

Ours are in our passport holders but just because they are, not because we need them anymore.  We just got off a b2b on Jewel on Saturday and there was no need for it either for RCI or the ports we visited (DR, PR, StM, Nassau, Cozumel, Costa Maya).   They just asked the three questions at the pier (vaxxed? boosted? more than 24 weeks pregnant?).  That's it.

I could easily see an island mandating vaccination at the last minute to disembark if there is a Covid spike this winter. I could also see some businesses requiring a card to enter.

No. Boarded on Saturday, didn't need it (My state provides a digital copy in case it was needed).

 

I was asked if I was vaccinated, and when I said yes, I was asked if I had the booster. I wasn't asked for the card though.

Statistical purposes.

Me too.

I leave them at home because we have photos on our phone, but still have that uncomfortable feeling that I am forgetting something.

Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

That’s the truth about a number of things!

I still have the records on my phone from when proof might have been required to enter some venue or busness  (never had to though)  but I never carried the actual card. I am not taking the actual card on a cruise when vaccination is not required by the cruise line. If some country or busness adds that after I embark and the digital record is not enough .............well I will take that risk.

Photo is saved to Favorites on my phone. One less thing to lose 🤦🏼‍♀️

Have ours on my phone as well. However, the phone gets turned off and stored in the safe as soon as we board, so whatever is stored on it is of no use to us on a cruise.
