Carnival Cruise Line Removes Pre-Cruise Testing for Vaccinated Guests and Welcomes All Unvaccinated To Sail

I notice this differs from Princess. Specifically on trans-ocean.

 

  • No pre-cruise testing for vaccinated guests on voyages of up to 15 nights (guests 5 and older) with the exception of full Panama Canal transits, trans-ocean and other special itineraries; unvaccinated guests must provide a negative self-test result taken within three days of embarkation (unvaccinated children under 5 years do not require pre-cruise testing)
  • Guests sailing on voyages 16 nights or longer, or sailing on full Panama Canal transits, trans-ocean and other specific itineraries, need to take a supervised test within three days of embarkation (guests 5 and older). Guests on these types of voyages will be contacted directly by an Ocean Navigator to assist.

This is fantastic news!! I haven't been on a ship in almost three years!! I used to cruise 3-4 times a year.  I'm retiring soon, so according to my son, I have to take one cruise a month to make up for all of the missed cruises!

as long as you are vaccinated. Now you will only have to worry about the test after you cruise.

We cruise in Oct and was already worrying about the pretest. Now I don't have stress.

Why would you test after a cruise

 

My guess is they think everyone is going to walk off cruises with COVID now and need to get a test within days of getting home...

Unvaccinated still have to test

yes i see that my point is if they say they are "removing the vaccination requirement" then there would be no need to "provide proof of vaccination".
