Carnival Adjust Protocols To Reflect CDC Changes
Carnival Cruise Line is adjusting certain protocols to reflect the lifting of CDC requirements for the U.S. cruise industry.
In announcing the changes, the cruise line makes it clear that it is committed to the health and safety of its guests, crew and the communities it serves.
Carnival advises that the changes will be made in phases, with the first of these updates effective on Thurs., Aug. 4, 2022 and focused on short cruise itineraries of 5 nights or less.
Additional changes will be announced shortly and all changes are subject to any requirements of destinations on the itinerary.
Effective for embarkations on or after Thurs., Aug. 4:
- No pre-cruise testing for fully vaccinated guests booked on cruises with itineraries 5 nights or less.
- Pre-cruise testing for itineraries 6 nights or longer can be conducted three (3) days before departure.
- There will be no in-terminal testing for unvaccinated guests on day of departure, but all unvaccinated guests ages 2 and older must provide proof of a negative result of a lab-administered or supervised self-administered antigen COVID test taken within three (3) days before embarkation.
Carnival says that guests should continue to carefully review all pre-cruise communications and refer to the Have Fun. Be Safe. page on www.Carnival.com for more information.
