Vaccine question

[richbum]

Does anyone know which ports do/don't require the vaccine?

Seattle sailings to Alaska

Everyone age 12 and older needs to be fully vaccinated sailing from Seattle to Alaska, plus a negative Covid test result if you are age 2yrs and older.

Thank you very much!

I would strongly suggest you visit Carnival's website before your next cruise.  If you go to the top of the page there is a link to their Covid policies.  It is labeled "Have fun. Be Safe."  The protocols for boarding and the requirements for the various ports have changed constantly from the restart and are still changing regularly.  The most up-to-date information can be found on the website at the time of your cruise.  I would be careful asking what the current policies are on any social forum as the information you receive could be dead on today, and completely wrong tomorrow.  If you read the website and are still uncertain, call Carnival for the current policy.  I would hate for anyone's cruise to be ruined because they were unknowingly following last week's policy.

If the ship stops in Canada, you need proof of vax, and a test and fill out the ArrCan app

You do not have to be vaccinated for sailing from any US port in January unless things change between now and then. Whether or not you can get off the ship in those ports is a changing situation, but by January I suspect there will be no restrictions on departing in any Caribbean port. 

 

Carnival is pleased to announce new guidelines effective for cruises departing on September 6, 2022 or later, which will make it easier for more guests to sail with simplified vaccination and testing guidelines, including no testing for vaccinated guests on sailings less than 16 nights, and eliminating the exemption request process for unvaccinated guests, who will only need to show a negative test result at embarkation.The new guidelines include: • Vaccinated guests must continue to provide evidence of their vaccination status prior to embarkation. Pre-cruise testing is no longer required, except for cruises to Canada, Bermuda, Greece and Australia (per local guidelines), and on voyages 16 nights or longer.• Unvaccinated guests are welcome to sail and are no longer required to apply for a vaccine exemption, except for cruises in Australia or on voyages 16 nights and longer.• Unvaccinated guests or those who do not provide proof of vaccination must present the results of a negative PCR or antigen test taken within three days of embarkation.• Guests under the age of five years are exempt from vaccination and testing requirements from the United States and under the age of 12 from Australia.• All policies are subject to local destination regulations.• Voyages 16 nights and longer will continue to have vaccination and testing requirements that are specific to the itinerary.For guests who have a pending vaccine exemption application and are awaiting confirmation for cruises departing September 6, 2022 or later, the booking is confirmed unless booked on a sailing that calls on Canada, Bermuda, Australia or if the voyage is 16 nights or longer.

Carnival's current protocols are only in effect through the end of this year. We don't know what protocols will look like in January yet.

Well, the vaccine exemption process is for cruises through 12/31/22, that's what I was talking about.

I deleted the email, but I am pretty sure that the email I got from Carnival regarding the new protocols said that they were in effect September 6 through December 31.  But the email also noted that conditions could change at any moment.
