These changes will be made in phases, with the first of these updates effective on Thursday, August 4, 2022 and focused on short cruise itineraries of 5 days or less.
Effective for embarkations on or after Thursday, August 4:
– No pre-cruise testing for fully vaccinated guests booked on cruises with itineraries 5 days or less.
– Pre-cruise testing for itineraries 6 days or longer can be conducted three (3) days before departure.
– There will be no in-terminal testing for unvaccinated guests on day of departure, but all unvaccinated guests ages 2 and older must provide proof of a negative result of a lab-administered or supervised self-administered antigen COVID test taken within three (3) days before embarkation.
We encourage all travel partners, and clients to continue to carefully review all pre-cruise communications and refer to the Have Fun. Be Safe. page on Carnival.com for more information.
We remain, as always, committed to the health and safety of your clients (our guests), crew and the communities we serve.
