Those who use the VeriFLY app can expect the time it takes to complete the health assessment process during embarkation to be cut in half.

Ready acceptance

Carnival began testing the program in January. Ahead of a cruise on Mardi Gras from Port Canaveral, more than 85% of the 2,000 passengers who opened an email invitation followed through by downloading the VeriFLY app.

It is available to download free in the App Store and Google Play. Once cruisers download VeriFLY, they then search for Carnival Cruise Line and complete the required steps. They will be asked to submit required documentation, including vaccination status and COVID-19 test results. When the process is completed, a VeriFLY pass will be issued in the app to present at embarkation.

Passengers who choose not to complete the VeriFLY process are still able to complete their pre-cruise tasks on Carnival.com and present required COVID-19 documents during their embarkation.
