Disney Cruise Line: Simulated Test Sailings With Volunteers Beginning June 29

[erionm]

The guidance on the UK sailings doesn’t specify anything about type or mixing, the only caveat is that you have to be 7 days after your second dose which is based (but not strictly following) health guidance here.

In the US, you are not considered fully vaccinated until 14 days after your 2nd dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or the single shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

Right now the CDC guidelines allow a passenger to be treated as vaccinated if Pfizer and Moderna are mixed, but not AZ. This is something that is changing literally day-by-day, though, so it’ll probably be different by the time Disney sails (assuming vaccination status matters for sailing on Disney at all).

For non-US sailings that care about vaccination status on other cruise lines I’m seeing that generally mixing Pfizer/Moderna with AZ is allowed, but some cruise lines are only allowing it if AZ is the first dose.

I’m in the UK - the only time you can mix vaccines is in the event of a bad reaction to AZ. Otherwise it’s expressly not allowed by the Government at present.

Interesting. Thank you for the clarification. Here in Canada mixing and matching (not just mRNA vaccines but also AZ with mRNA) is a lot more common.

My hubby got a moderna chaser to his AZ dose and now I’m afraid he won’t be able to go on our Alaska cruise next year

If anything I think the AK will be just fine as it leaves from Vancouver. No CDC jurisdiction in Canada, the cruise ships will have to follow Canadian protocols.

The CDC asserts jurisdiction over any ship sailing in US waters, so they’d need to follow both Canadian and US protocols.

It’s the ability to pass through US customs getting onto the ship I’m worried about

Again, I really don't think that will be an issue. Canadians can fly to the US now, the US doesn't require vaccine proof. I honestly think this will get sorted out sooner rather than later so I would try not to worry about it yet.

And the AK cruise ports in the US. Sooooo.
