Gaprofitt Posted May 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Hi, Is Carnival requiring a booster currently for 5-11 year olds? It looks like it's not eligible. We are cruising this Saturday. I was going to call Carnival tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schoifmom Posted May 26, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) I don't believe that boosters are available for 5-11 year old. Regardless, a booster is not required for anyone for most sailings. Edited May 26, 2022 by Schoifmom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicia Posted May 26, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Boosters, for anyone, are only required for the Pride European voyages and the Splendor transpacific. No other boosters are necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bguppies Posted May 26, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Not having been boosted only changes the amount of days before your cruise to get a nagative test. The child will only have two days before the cruise instead of three. No biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the kids have had the two doses, they would be classed as fully vaccinated so wouldn't that mean they can have the test 3 days before?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the child is not eligible for a booster dose, they can test 3 days before. 5-11 is eligible for their first booster "at least 5 months after the final dose in the primary series". We sailed with my 7yo who had the final dose in his primary series but was not yet eligible for the booster and tested 3 days out. If the child had their final dose more than 5 months ago than they are eligible and must test 2 days out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully vaxxed plus a booster if eligible is the requirement for 3 days out. ETA - unless travelling to Canada but the OP isn't.

mredandchis Posted May 26, 2022 #9 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Thanks, we have the extended family going next month on the Mardi Gras and everyone is in a different vaccination status. My wife and I have both had a booster but are eligible for a second booster. My daughter and her husband have not had a booster but are eligible and the grandkids are still not quite eligible for a booster but will be at sailing time. So the question was , Who is considered fully vaccinated and there was no consensus so we decided to go with the 2 day prior test and hopefully all will be ok for boarding.
