Joe817 Posted July 29, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Excellent news! It was bound to happen sooner or later. This came sooner than I expected. Now if they could just drop the testing requirement for cruises greater than 6 days before September 24, I'll be dancing in the isles! Thanks for posting! 👍 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tweak89 Posted July 29, 2022 #7 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I'm guessing the website won't update until the 4th. I'm on a 5 day departing in the 29th and the guidelines still say testing required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting! 👍 I've noted this elsewhere, but I suspect the 5-days or less implementation is because ports in that range do not require the tests, but there are definitely ports further out on the 6, 7, and 8 day itineraries that still require tests, even for vaxxed. So I think Carnival needs to wait for them to relax their requirements - perhaps that will happen soon, if the ports see the that the closer ports are managing OK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who are not boosted do get the extra day back. That's good if you are traveling in early. The next step will probably include some sort of announcement about longer cruises with the exception of ... (those areas still requiring it). That will be a little more complicated. Though they may also be in consultation with those places to try to get their requirements dropped. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maluhia87 Posted July 29, 2022 #17 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I'd like to see testing go away before we have to purchase tests that would get to travel to Europe with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darinb1345 Posted July 29, 2022 #18 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Hoping for extending to >5 days prior to my 10/1 departure! I’m not sure what Mexico port requirements are. I hate those qtips up my nose! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrcruiser Posted July 29, 2022 #19 Share Posted July 29, 2022 We just booked Panorama for October 1......I doubt procedures will change again by then, but one can hope! 😊 It is nice to see some positive changes going forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting! 👍 Wondering if we're on the same sailing LOL. I've also got a 7-night cruise leaving 9/24 (Panorama) and I really hope we get to Phase 2 before then. On the upside, it sounds like 3 days for supervised pre-test is now for everyone ("fully vaxxed" and "up to date" alike) which gives me a little less stress dealing with the unknown of doing an online proctored test. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
