It was very easy. Mine says i can't check in until 7/31. As far as when I say loose $1000s I mean that I would lose money spent for precruise things like flights, hotels, rentals, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommysoncruiser Posted July 29, 2021 #53 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Not 3 days before sailing. That is why I am hoping they will send the acceptance or denial soon rather than later. I was floored when the carnival agent said they have up to 3 days before the cruise to approve or deny. We are are not platinum or diamond on carnival because we tend to cruise on many different cruise lines based or availability and destination. This will only be my 3rd carnival cruise and the last one was in 2014. Last cruise I was on was Royal and that was during the pandemic. It was a transatlantic and the country went into lockdown as soon as we docked. Needless to say it was a nightmare to get back to America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lake53 Posted July 30, 2021 #55 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I apologize if this has been addressed. If my daughter exemption is not approved do we receive a future credit or refund? Then what about beverage packages purchased refund? Sorry we weren’t told about the whole exemption thing now we’re freaking out we leave Sept 4. We did purchase insurance but not carnivals I believe Alurse is the company our TA suggested. Thank you Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Tom You get a full refund on everything purchased through carnival (beverage packages, dining, shore excursions, etc.). This is per carnival not my hunch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I originally booked the flight because we have to fly in the day of and would like the peace of mind to know that I booked through Carnival, including the shuttle. Now I'm happy to know that I locked in a good price for my flight and can get a refund. I will explain that I called and spoke to someone at Carnival since the Fly2Fun restricted airfare is supposed to be non refundable but they are making exceptions for unvaccinated travellers.

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%. It's not possible. They have no idea how many people are going to be onboard and who the exemptions will go to. They have to know the total population of people so they can calculate the 5% number that they can allow onboard. They don't know that until real close to departure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will also tell you that there are Canadians, adults, who are vaccinated but not recognized as being vaccinated. I am one of those people. I may be requesting an exemption. There are also people who have a medical exemption or who had Covid and can't get a vaccine yet. All to say that I would not be the one deciding who gets an exemption and who doesn't...

I understand AZ isn't approved for use the USA, but it's no different than J&J. The other group getting the shaft in this are the people who have recovered and have natural immunity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a difference. AZ is recognized as a 2 shot vaccine with the WHO and J&J is a one shot. It's not a great situation but the US and Canada has such a close connection there maybe some kind of deal reached with the CDC once the borders really open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for the crew dressed in all black, cause I’m told I’m supposed to be depressed or something. So, busting out the goth/emo look! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
