FloridaMommyof3 Posted July 28, 2021 #26 Share Posted July 28, 2021 There are some places that can turn it around quickly. My brother was able to get it done just recently although he had to drive about an hour away. I don't know who he used but I'm sure if you google it you may be able to find out.

Just realize everything is subject to change hour by hour until then. That way you are not upset when/if the protocols change. With all the lawsuits and changing rates of infection, I don't mean to scare anyone, but I do not think anything is certain until I am onboard. And it's possible things will change during the cruise.

The question is on the exemption process and right now it's through October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lake53 Posted July 28, 2021 #29 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Hi sorry if this has been answered already. Family for sailing in September Carnival Panorama. We are all vaccinated except for my daughter who is 10 years old cannot get vaccinated. Do I need to apply for exemption for her? Or do they take that into account when we made the booking she was under age thank you advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much! I talk to my travel agent last week and she said we are all good I tried calling Carnival but we never get an answer just wait on hold. It says we are waitlisted fingers crossed we can get on. I really appreciate you passing along that information my fault I must’ve that’s in the email or overlooked it with all the other advertisement ones.

Tom That is a good reminder to everyone to read all emails from Carnival if you have a cruise scheduled. I have made an email folder just for emails from Carnival so I will be sure to see every one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobster1313 Posted July 28, 2021 #34 Share Posted July 28, 2021 @MrMarc response is perfect and it's also extremely important to check your booking regularly on Carnival’s website just in case there's new requirements. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it says you are waitlisted then the request for exemption wasnt completed. You have to pay the balance of the cruise before the request form will work.

People on Cruise Critic always claiming how they will not sail with unvaccinated. Of course you will and it is inevitable. The vaccine will not be required a year from now, it is just a matter of when it gets dropped at this point. Well it's not dropped yet so get vaccine or wait till it is! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommysoncruiser Posted July 29, 2021 #45 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I'm booked on the 8/14 Mardi Gras but they haven't even looked at my expedition request yet. Spoke with an agent today and he confirmed this and said they have up to 3 days before sailing to approve or deny you. Smh...! If I don't hear from them in a few days, I may just cancel myself since I cannot risk $1000 to be denied at the last minute. Ugh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no I was just kidding if my daughter doesn’t get approved for the exemption I’ll need childcare I’m still going. Lol I guess if she doesn’t get approved we will have to reschedule. Yes I’ve read only child care for kids over 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do they just give us a credit for next cruise? Seems like it could be handled a better way especially for kids under 12. You know they can’t get a vaccine when they book there trip so they should automatically be included 5%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vaccine will not be required a year from now, it is just a matter of when it gets dropped at this point. That may be, at some point in time. However, anyone who cruises knows there is absolutely no way to social distance on a ship and it is the last place unvaccinated folks should be currently for everyone's sake. Given the latest upswing, it would be industry suicide for any line to allow unvaccinated aboard.
