I'm so confused

[Megan_Strick]

Ok y'all. I'm so confused. We sail Sept 5. I'm vaccinated and boosted. My son and DIL are vaccinated but not boosted. I just want to be clear that they HAVE to be tested right? The rule of no testing starts Sept. 6.

Boosted doesn't matter except for a handful of cruises regardless of the sail date.

If your cruise is longer than 5 days, you are correct.  ALL of you need to provide a negative COVID test in order to board (being boosted doesn't matter).  Enjoy your cruise! 🙂

Its 5 days to the Bahamas so we should be good with no test then.

Correct...  The boosters are irrelevant to you.  If you are vaccinated with 2 doses of mrna OR 1 dose of J&J you do not need to test.

I'm confused as well. Our cruise says 5 days, but it's really 5 nights. Isn't that 6 days? I called as well and they said no test needed, verifly also says all set to go.

Carnival never uses "nights" to describe their cruises, they go by days and they don't count the day you leave.

If you look at your booking on line it will specify the number of day cruise you have.  It will say 5 day, 6 day, etc.  No confusion at all, just review that.  Don't over think it. 😝

I think they don't count the day you arrive back in your port of origin, but do count your embarkation day.  That's why Cheers works on "Day 1" when you embark, but not on day (length of cruise+1) when you arrive back in port.  And why the Funtimes/sheet (or HUBapp) will say "Day 1" for that embarkation day.
