    Curious- New Casino Rules

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Anytime you are indoors you are supposed to have a mask on, except when eating or drinking. One twist to that on our cruise on the Magic was in the showroom, where there were signs posted that it was a “sip and cover” venue.  So mask on unless you were actively taking a drink of your beverage. Any other dining venue was just mask on until you were seated. 
     

    Having said that, we did see folks indoors and in the elevators not masked up. This was not the majority though. Most people were pretty good about following the expectations. The only place I actually saw a crew member enforce it though was once in the entrance to the buffet.

     

    Happy Sailing everyone! 😀

    What I can recall is:

    1. No one allowed in casino unless you are playing the slots or games. No one allowed to just watch.

    2. Casino bar will be closed. Will have to order drinks from bar staff.

    Mardi Gras 9/4-11/21 Somewhat Live Thoughts and Information

    I'm Diamond, and had a 10:30 to 11AM boarding slot, but there wasn't a diamond line for check-in, and no diamond lounge to wait in.  We had an A12 boarding time slot, so we just sat around in the very busy and crowded terminal until our # was called.

     

    For debarkation, there was a Diamond priority and we met in Punchliners at 7:30AM, walked our luggage off the ship and proceeded through Customs by 7:50 AM.  Very smooth, just like you said!

    How do you find out which "slot" number you get? I have 10:30-11:00 boarding time.

    Table for 2 requests

    If you wish to request a table for 2, please post on John Heald's FB page 4 days before your cruise and he will forward your request.

    Carnival has always requested that guests NOT email the Maitre' D. In addition, The Maitre' D's are not required to respond to guest emails. It seems Carnival finally blocked emails to these addresses.

    I beg to differ when you say "Carnival has always requested that guests NOT email the Maitre'd". I have emailed them on the past 11 cruises and received a very pleasant confirmation from each of those requests. Where does it say what you have stated? After 25 cruises, I believe I would have seen, or been told, that by now.

    Can't Print Luggage Tags

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Posted

    I logged into my Cruise Manager to print out my luggage tags but didn't see where to do it. There used to be a place to "Print Cruise Documents" but it is no longer there. Any ideas as to why this option is not available to me? We Cruise in 39 days on Mardi Gras.

    Not notified of new testing protocols

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Posted

    Please carefully review the information below regarding new, temporary testing requirements:

    • Effective with cruises departing on Saturday, August 14, 2021, we will require ALL fully vaccinated guests to produce a negative viral COVID-19 test (PCR or antigen) taken within 3 days of their embarkation on all Carnival Cruise Line sailings. Guests who are unvaccinated will continue to follow the requirements already communicated (and as detailed below). 
    • Fully vaccinated guests will be required to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test along with proof of full vaccination upon arrival in the terminal and can then proceed on board. Please note that testing in the terminal will not be available for vaccinated guests so it’s critical that you have your negative test results with you upon your arrival.  We will not be able to accommodate guests without proof of a negative test.  Please check our Have Fun. Be Safe.  protocols at Carnival.com for further details on testing requirements.    
    • Guests who are not fully vaccinated are still required to show the negative results of a PCR test taken between 72 and 24 hours prior to the sailing date, and will be tested again in the terminal prior to boarding the ship and again within 24 hours of debarkation (for itineraries five days or longer).  Unvaccinated guests approved for an exemption will continue to be charged US$150, per person, for testing, reporting and health safety screenings, and also must provide proof of travel insurance if departing from the states of Florida or Texas. 
    • Children under two are exempt from testing requirements.
     
    In addition to testing requirements, we are also making adjustments to our onboard mask policy effective with cruises beginning this Saturday, August 7, 2021, as follows:
    • First, we strongly encourage all guests to wear face masks when indoors, particularly guests who are unvaccinated including children under the age of 12 who should wear masks in public areas, except when eating or drinking.
    • All guests age 2 and older will be required to wear face masks in elevators and in designated indoor entertainment areas, all retail shops, and in the casino, except when eating or drinking.
    • Guests will be required to wear face masks prior to being seated in our main dining rooms and in the Lido Buffet area and occasionally in other designated areas where larger number of guests may congregate.  
    • As a reminder, masks are required during embark and debark in the terminal, and masks should also be worn during the debarkation process on board.
    These new requirements are being implemented to protect our guests and crew while on board.  Several destinations have implemented their own requirements and all guests will be required to follow the protocols in each destination we visit. As stated above, we expect these requirements will be temporary and we appreciate your cooperation and look forward to welcoming you aboard.

    Yes!  He is one of our favorite cruise directors.  He is so fun.  High energy and everywhere literally.  He is SO talented and a wonderful performer on his own.  His game shows/love and marriage are fabulous.  I can't wait to sail with him again!  We have Cookie on our upcoming one and we like him also! 

    Thx for your reply. I think a good Cruise Director makes the cruise even better
