Thank you all so much for your help.

I know you're probably right. And I'm sure it'll be fine. I'm a worrier 🙂

Awesome! Thanks!

I have already checked. Illinois (my home state) does, but I've only lived here long enough that I got my boosters here (so I have proof of two boosters on the Illinois thing, but that's it, and it is just through a qr code - there's no official certificate or anything). My original vaccines were in a state that has no such thing. So I've got *something*, but I think it is insane that Cunard is saying that what we were given isn't good enough. Many states don't have something like that. Japan already accepted the copies of my CDC cards. I can't imagine why Cunard would want more than Japan does.

Hi - So yes, I actually called Cunard TWICE and they assured me it was fine and americans can use their CDC original cards, but they won't give it to me in writing. The email I'm referring to came today with the title " Important information for your upcoming voyage Here is the relevant paragraph that has sent me into a complete panic: Covid‑19 vaccination and testing requirements Please visit our website for the most up-to-date Covid-19 vaccination and testing requirements for your voyage. You’ll be required to show proof of your vaccination status (and booster where applicable) at the terminal prior to boarding, which will also be checked against your photo ID. Please note, that the record card that is given out at the time of vaccination will not be accepted as proof of your vaccination status. Unfortunately, failure to provide proof of vaccination at the terminal will result in denial of boarding at your own expense. You may also be required to show proof of a negative Covid‑19 test at the terminal.

Piggybacking in, as it seems like several of you are on this same sailing I am... Any other American here concerned by this language in the email we received today? "Please note, that the record card that is given out at the time of vaccination will not be accepted as proof of your vaccination status." We don't have anything else in the US besides the CDC card. I'm fully vaxxed, but that's all we have. I called cunard and they said it is sufficient, but couldn't put it in writing for me. Any guidance or advice? I literally am beside myself and so upset.

Have any Americans recently sailed on a Cunard cruise that required vaccines (preferably that embarked outside the USA)? I'm fully vaxxed and boosted, but only have the CDC cards you get when you're jabbed as proof - that is all we get here. I got an email regarding my Japan sailing in a couple weeks that says "Please note, that the record card that is given out at the time of vaccination will not be accepted as proof of your vaccination status." This has me quite panicked - I have nothing else, there is nothing else I can even get. I called Cunard and the customer service agent said that the original CDC card would be fine for an American, but she could not put it in writing for me. Japan has already accepted our vaccine cards and issued our visas. Thank you in advance.
