Same happened to us getting on the Mardi Gras on Jan 22. Did not want to accept our health unit test results. Wanted to know if we could pull it up in “our” health portal. Told her no we are talking about “Louisiana “. Offered to pay $100 each to retake the test. After another 30 minute wait they decided to let us on without talking a new test. Lol! By the way our health unit test results were readily accepted when we sailed out of Galveston last October!

Unfortunate but it states on the RC Covid FAQ on the website nothing hand written. It's been a major topic of discussion for weeks in all of the FB groups. Glad you were able to get on the ship.

It actually does say it in the rules: (copied from the website) You must receive a valid results document from your test provider that includes the name of the lab that processed the test, the lab’s CLIA Lab Number or Certification Number, the address of the lab, your name, the date the test was taken, type of test, and your negative result. This can be a printed document, email, or telehealth app notification. Fully handwritten doctor’s notes (such as those written on a prescription pad) will not be accepted. Minimal handwritten components (such as a check mark on a “negative” box) are acceptable as long as the other required information is printed on the document. It sounds like your document was more than "minimal" ie: more than check marks. With this information I would have made sure to have it in digital form....

Honestly, if you have a PDF writer, a typed test would be easier to fake. I tested it when I got home to prove it to myself.

I mean it wouldn't be any harder to print a fake printed one on a computer. Besides Vac cards are hand written as well.

[@jasongallagher3368]

This should have all have been digital from the beginning (like vac cards and test results), but a certain faction of the US population fought tooth and nail to prevent the digitalization of these records. Right or wrong, this has resulted in a mishmash of hand written vac cards and every doctors office having their own covid result forms instead of a nationwide digital standard. On top of that, royal caribbean then issues rules that can be open to interpretation to the individual crew members. Better training could have probably fixed that, but that was probably difficult considering that crew members have been on and off of the medical boat for months.

[@hairdresser1300]

As for the vax card it does have a lot number, and ours now have a hospital stamp similar to those sometimes used on yellow cards. I think QR codes are fairly easy to fake too, but agree that the privacy argument about digitalizing records seemed odd at best. I object to being require to have carry an electronic device to show proof of vaccination, and I’m fortunate enough to have medical record in my chart that create QR codes that I can print. The software they recommend, CommonPass doesn’t says it only can handle 2 vaccinations not 3 or more, so it needs updating too!

Looks like you cruised during Christmas time which was a couple months ago from when I’m watching this video. I’m hoping more people are aware now, in February, of the fact that you can’t have hand written information on your proof of negative Covid-19 test. Sorry this happened to you. If nothing else, I hope your video is a lesson to future cruisers. As stated in Royal’s sight, “Fully handwritten doctor’s notes (such as those written on a prescription pad) will not be accepted. Minimal handwritten components (such as a check mark on a “negative” box) are acceptable as long as the other required information is printed on the document.” If you used a travel agency, I’d make sure and make them aware of their failure to inform you of the proper facts. I know ours let us know that our results must be printed by an official agency and that no hand written info would be accepted. Im sure you had a wonderful cruise in spite of your pricy hiccup. Wishing you nothing but hiccup free future sailings.

[@EECCTravels]

It did not state that in their website back in December when we took this cruise. They since have updated their website to this. Also our form wasn’t like some hand written note on a prescription card it was a official form issued by the state which was printed, only the word “ negative “ and the date was written in the blank with a pen. Other cruise ships had excepted this exact form a couple different times from us so it’s not crazy to understand why we were surprised by this.

[@corinnecannings1708]

It’s too bad, but, I believe the reason you didn’t get any official SailAway party is due to Covid. I’ve been on plenty of Royal Caribbean cruises over the years. Prior to Covid they always had a rocking good time, SailAway party on the pool deck. With all the expected entertainment, line dancing, live music and an address from the cruise director. I pray they can return to it someday!
