The cruiseline will require the proof from the passenger. Then they (the cruiseline) will attest to the CDC. The ports may require the attestation OR the actual proof.

So, no, you don't have to provide proof to the CDC, only to the cruiseline.

Time will tell.. The ships won't take ANY chances. They'd rather leave someone behind because the paperwork looks dodgy than take any chance of an outbreak.
