What if I cannot get vaccinated due to a disability or pre-existing medical condition? What if I am
not vaccinated for religious reasons? What if I have recently recovered from COVID-19 and am not
now eligible to be vaccinated?
Vaccine Accommodation for Medical or Religious Reasons
Please contact our Access Department at (866) 592-7225 or send an email to [email protected] so
that our team can guide you on what documents will need to be submitted for consideration. You should
contact them as soon as possible and ideally no later than 30 days before your cruise departs.
Please note that vaccine accommodated guests must adhere to all health protocols and travel requirements
for unvaccinated guests as required by the cruise line and at the local, state and national level.
Vaccine Accommodation Due to Recent Recovery from COVID-19
For U.S. departures, including San Juan, Puerto Rico, as well as departures from Bridgetown, Barbados, Royal
Caribbean does not grant vaccine accommodation for reasons related to recent recovery from COVID-19. Royal
Caribbean will not under any circumstance accept a Certificate of Recovery in lieu of proper vaccination records
for guests of vaccine eligible age
Acceptable Proof of Vaccination – so now, VACATIONS are DICTATING what people must do for their own ‘health’ – AMAZING BS
In order to present proof of vaccination for our cruises, the guest must show eligible documentation on
boarding day at the terminal in the form of the vaccination record issued by either (1) the country’s health
authority that administered the vaccination (e.g., U.S. CDC’s Vaccination Record Card) (2) electronic
vaccination records where country policy requires the use of electronic documentation via app or health
agency site (e.g. UK NHS App, NHS Certificate, Israel Green Pass (WHICH IS BEING CONTESTED), EU Digital COVID Certificate), or (3) a
letter from the guest’s medical provider that administered the vaccination, which meets the following criteria:
• The Proof of Vaccination must include the name of the vaccinated person matching the registered
cruise guest with date of birth (DoB), the dates of the completed vaccination cycle, the administering
physical or medical services provider, and the manufacturer of the vaccine issued.
• The full vaccination cycle must be completed at least 14 days before your sail date (e.g., received
the second dose in a two-dose series such as Pfizer or Moderna or a single dose of J&J).
• The vaccine is recognized and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (U.S. FDA)
and/or the World Health Organization (WHO).
NOTE: Royal Caribbean will accept a laminated original vaccine card from your country’s health authority as
acceptable proof of vaccination, providing it meets all the aforementioned criteria.
Fraudulent Documentation of Vaccination
We will record all documentation of vaccination and review it for signs of fraud. We routinely provide
documentation of vaccination to immigration, health and port authorities in the ports where we call. Falsifying
documentation of vaccination is a crime in the U.S. and may lead to criminal prosecution in the various
jurisdictions from where we sail, and in our ports of call. We reserve the right to deny boarding or remove
from the ship any guest whom we believe has submitted a falsified documentation of vaccination.
We further reserve the right to bring a civil action against any guest who submits false documentation of
vaccination to recover all costs and damages caused by such fraudulent conduct
THIS IS REALLY GETTING COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL………………and if you don’t see this is a personal freedom issue, and vast overreach, then there’s no hope….. They can KEEP their cruises.
