That is certainly not for us to say. You should consult a doctor or your local public health authorities to answer that question.
Good point, but if OP gets the booster on the 9th and doesn't depart until the 18th, that should be plenty of time for any side effects to have come and gone. (But, as others have noted, those are side effects, not symptoms of COVID).
No.
their cruise leaves on the 18th, but who knows when their vacation starts, or what they need to do in preparation. It's just something to keep in mind if you don't want to be feeling like hot garbage during it.
No, but if you will be cruising in Europe, you should double check requirements. Some countries require additional testing for those not boosted and/or who received the initial shot(s) more than 270 days from the date of the cruise.
This would be my only concern, with 2/3 of mine I’ve had the worst arm pain for 1-2 weeks.
My nephew is Manager of Public Health Unit and this is what he confirms also. We wanted to get a booster as close to cruising as possible, our original vaxx were more than a year ago, probably no immunity left. We have just had our fourth.
