Carnival Cruise Line is adjusting certain protocols to reflect the lifting of requirements for the U.S. cruise industry.
The cruise line says it “remains committed to the health and safety of its guests, crew and the communities that it serves”.
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 nights or less.
The cruise line will announce more changes in the coming days, subject to any requirements of destinations on the itinerary.
Effective for embarkations on or after Thursday, August 4:
- No pre-cruise testing for fully vaccinated guests booked on cruises with itineraries 5 nights or less.
- Pre-cruise testing for itineraries 6 nights 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.
Carnival Cruise Line urges guests to “carefully review all pre-cruise communications” and to visit its Have Fun. Be Safe. page.
