I'm on the carnival panaroma now and I can confirm the internet is much much faster. I have the same value plan. It's like 20x faster than I was on Radiance this June.

Yes, it was on the sea. The internet speed is very good thru the whole trip. Sometimes it's faster. I also share my wifi to an iphone and a galaxy pad. All of us can enjoy the tiktok.

I'm on the carnival panaroma now and I can confirm the internet is much much faster. I have the same value plan. It's like 20x faster than I was on Radiance this June.

When you return to LA, it's my board time to Panorama. I really like your post and photos.  This coming Saturday is my first time on Panorama. However, thru your post, I feel the ship and I are old friends already.

I remember some table on Radiance is 3:2 and the min bet is $10. But, but, house takes out all the kings.

I was on the same ship at the same time. To me ,the whole trip is good.However, I really don't like the buffet. The selection is very limit. But the MDR is very good. The food is tasty and service is excellent. 

But when you onboard, you can't control anything. Even some people got the Covid when cruising. Many more don't. I just called CVS this morning and after 30 mins talk, I got my result in my email. I think we are good to go. 

Still nothing from CVS. I've made appointments for rapid NAAT test at Albersons. Tomorrow morning, I will contact CVS first to ask about the result. If the results don't come on time, I will do the test again at Albertsons. However, Albersons charges $99/test. But this is still at the cheap side of the rapid test.

Why did you do a PCR test? Unvaccinated kids? 

Yes, my son is 4 years old and unvaccinated.  So I just made appointments for all of 3. My little one is only 16 months. I don't thin her need test.

My family of 4 will take the Carnival Radiance next Monday. We took the PCR test at Friday afternoon at CVS. However, I don't receive the result yet. Any advice? Should I find a rapid test to do the test tomorrow morning as a Plan-B?

Thank you in advance.

Has anyone boarded with a child under 2 recently?

 

Originally when making my reservation a few months ago, I was told they'd need a vaccine exemption, the same as any other unvaccinated guest, so we applied for one.  Although now I see on CCL's COVID page, "Children under five are not required to apply for a vaccine exemption. However, they must still follow requirements for unvaccinated guests including pre-cruise and embarkation day testing, destination and camp restrictions, etc", so that's good.

 

Although further down it states, "Guests age 2 and older must present a negative PCR COVID-19 test".

 

So in one spot CCL states that children "5 and younger" need a negative test, and in another spot they state children "2 and older" need a negative test.  They don't explicitly state that children under 2 do not need a negative test, but it seems to be implied by the second statement...

I will take my daughter who is 14 months. From what I read on the carnival covid website, I think she doesn't need the test at all. All the request is for 2 years older to 5 years. My son is 4 years and 5 months. He need to be test in 72 hours-24 hours window. And he also need a antigen test when check in on board.
