I didn't believe that the Florida law would impact cruising because the law wouldn't have passed the Florida Senate if it did.

@lobster1313What questions were on the health assessments, aside from whether or not you're vaccinated?

The rest were the standard covid questions. Out of the country last 14 days. New symptoms. Any exposure.

I have done 2 health assessments so far and there's supposed to be one more tomorrow. I'm sailing on Saturday.

Well i dont know if they actually need to "See" them if you have to upload them during the check in process which is what im wondering about.

Carnival is not having passengers upload the cards at check in.   They just ask if vaccinated if no then do you have an exemption letter if no then call Carnival.

I know it was asked but I haven't seen a reply to the question in post #17 about vaccine status.  What was acceptable proof and did they ask to see or was it part of the online check-in process to upload?  I saw a few posts on the Holland America boards from people going crazy because Carnival wasn't asking to actually "see" them.

Carnival is checking the cards. There's also a rumor that they have nurses verifying the vaccine documents.  Most of the rumors seem to be coming from people who don't sail on Carnival

If it doesnt exist I cant bring it. But thanks. Fairpark in dallas is back to being the state fair and I went the first day in jan it opened before they even had computers. I did email someone who just said show up for 2nd shot..so we did. 

 

But thanks.,, I'm aware it says recommended as in not required.,I have no phone number. If more is needed then they need to say what is required, though I have no idea what phone number is possible. 

 

Find someone else to scare. I'm bringing what I have. 

 

If you dont have a link that more is REQUIRED then I'll go by what carnival says, not you. Maybe you are younger and got in later after it got more organized.

No. I went in long before it was organized but I am going with what they say to bring. Carnival gave many examples on what other supporting documentation accept as verification.

Suggested. Not required. I for one dont have a email or phone number nor do many.

 

If pressed I could find a email from back last January.. but dont say its required when it's not.

 

I read they haven't really even been checking cards, but I'll have mine as that is required.

The not checking cards is an internet rumor. I have also seen a few posts on another site that said Carnival had nurses calling to verify vaccination.

If they tell you something is recommended during the restart then you need to bring it.

This is going to get interesting.  My first vaccine shot was administered in a large open field near the Ft Myers air port.  They then closed it down and move to a closed Sears store located in a mall where I got the second shot.  Now that facility has been closed.  I guess that only way out is to call a current site and get their phone number and E-mail.  They do have our data on a central file.  Then that begs the question so why do they need their phone numbers and E-mail if the data is already on file.  They can't find it by my name?  That's what they used when I got the two shots.

Print out Lee County's Health Department phone number and email.  They ran most of the sites in Lee but even if it was the state the county will still have it on file. I don't think they're going to check unless you test positive. 

Vaccine card but you also need to bring the with you a phone number and email for where the vaccine was administered.

When I click on that link, the main carnival page comes up...what am I doing wrong? 

 

Don't click on the link.  You need to copy it and paste it somewhere where you can edit it to be able to add your booking number.

That stinks if it is the only one ☹️

More diniing selections would be nice but it's inside the funnel so it is one of the nicer steakhouses.

Now my calculator says 73+%. I presume the earlier figure I saw included crew in capacity. Now that look like aiming for 75%.

That's double occupancy not total guest capacity which is 4977.

Just now, ontheweb said:

What is the capacity, so we can figure out the percentage of passengers sailing.

4977

Could the difference in reported information be because they are sailing from different ports?  Isn't it only Florida that the cruise lines can NOT require proof of vaccination, due to state laws?

Texas also but none of that matters. They're asking for proof when you check-in online and cards at the port in both states.  

Saturday can't come fast enough

(still OT) --- so for these early sailings, at any point between the online check-in and at the cruise terminal, are people having to provide some type of copy or show their CDC cards... or is this all just a wink wink honor system exercise?

 

Tom

You need to show the actual card at the port.

Do you know if this is true for all ports, or are there some ports that are requiring "bubble excursions"?

Right now there are no restrictions on ports for vaccinated.  We only have 5 bubble excursions listed for my sailing next Saturday and it seems like if there's issues they switch out the port.

A little off topic, but during check in was there any mention of, or a question about, your COVID inoculation status? I understand all cruise lines have gone back to having passengers complete a "Health Assessment", but I am curious about the shot record, etc. We are scheduled for 3 cruises on three different cruise lines in the next 18 months; all the requirements are running together in my poor mind! We've both had both Moderna shots, and I have my CDC record, so I am ready for just about anything.😎

 

Our Carnival cruise isn't until December 2021, and it's from NOLA, so things will undoubtedly change; but still, I am curious how the online check in is being done today.

 

Thanks.

We had to answer 2 online health assessments that both asked if we were vaccinated. The first was was just about vaccine the second also included the standard covid questions.  There's supposed to be on more online assessment that needs to be completed Wednesday with is 72 hours before the cruise.

What’s going on with excursions? Do they have to be carnival or can you book one independently?

The vaccinated are allowed to explore on their own at the port. It's only the unvaccinated that has to use Carnival.

That’s what I want to know too.  How do they know who is vaxxed and who isn’t.

They don't need to because masks aren't required for unvaccinated except in places like the arcade or spa.

They had both for my sailing on 7/10.

Wait, you can’t do QR codes unless you have internet..  We don’t ever get internet on cruises, it’s part of the vacation to be completely disconnected..

 

Are paper menus an option at all?

The QR codes will work without internet is what hebhave said.

Ive only made a few posts on this community and I dont pretend to be part of it. This is probably going to sound trolly but the amount of people who care that a multi million dollar a year making CEO cant go on a "cruise" is giggleworthy. I hope i dont get banned for that opinion. 

He's not a CEO or even an executive at Carnival.  He's the Brand Ambassador which is basically a cruise director for the entire fleet.

That's not how it works. The vaccination would protect John Heald.  However, the virus can still be transmitted to others. Additionally, with the new Delta variant, they are just being careful. He's a grown up. He'll be okay.

He's enjoying a miami right now since he went with the correct paperwork so he was able o fly today.
