Creator's Key Takeaways

So, first, I want to make sure you have what you need to board. So, that means you've printed your boarding pass, or you've downloaded the Holland America Navigator app, where you can check in and get your boarding pass there, that you have your luggage tags for the luggage you're going to leave with the porters, that you have your ArriveCAN QR code, and your VeriFLY QR codes.

Holland America recently announced they will not be providing tests for people headed back to the United States or to a country where a test is required.

The quickest, most expedited is for those guests that have filled out VeriFLY. So, you'll definitely want to check out my video on how to use VeriFLY to register your Holland America cruise.

Security took about half an hour to get through, cuz both of the ships were going through together at the same time.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Print your boarding pass or download the Holland America Navigator app for check-in.
โœ“Have your ArriveCAN and VeriFLY QR codes ready.
โœ“Plan for a testing plan if flying back to the United States.
โœ“Wear rain gear if it's raining during check-in, as part is outdoors.
โœ“Use VeriFLY for expedited check-in.
