Pretty sure, most ports, unvaccinated people (if they're even allowed to board ship), are not allowed off in ports unless on a ship's excursion.  Some ports, unvaccinated people are not allowed off at all.

 

The protocols are not "ship" directed, but dictated by the ports.

On NCL all passengers must be vaccinated, which means children under the age of 5 can't go on an NCL cruise.

For other cruise lines you're interested in you should ask the question on the particular cruise line's' forums.

for carnival unvaccinated kids can’t get off unless bubble tour. i know some islands there’s no restrictions so i was wondering what other cruise lines do about unvaccinated kids under 5

As previously noted, to see what restrictions are placed on unvaccinated guests, you'll need to either look directly on that Line's website,  or ask on their CC forum.

This is a really good question and one I had not even considered before in this crazy covid protocol world we live in.   

 

All I know for sure is they are not allowed off without their parents!

Idk about rcl in coco cay since it's their island area, they might allow unvaccinated kids off. No other areas allow it I've heard of without bubble excursions.

Coco Cay RCI kids sailing under 5 have no problem being allowed off. We've (extended family group) double checked this as we'll be sailing end of April with a 4 year old grandchild.

For all the cruise companies we looked at, you can get off in the private islands without an excursion. We cruised Royal in November with 2 2 year olds and had no problems getting off in coco cay.

NCL just announced a change, and unvaccinated children under 5 are now allowed to sail.
