Carnival Cruise Line has updated its pre-cruise testing protocols for unvaccinated guests for voyages departing September 6 and later. It will now allow unsupervised pre-cruise self-testing for cruises of 15 nights or less.
The line says the changes are consistent with what local destinations have advised will be acceptable, and Carnival says it will continue to work closely with local destinations to protect the health of its guests, crew and the communities the cruise line visits.
Here are the updated protocols:
-- In addition to lab administered tests, self-testing is accepted for unvaccinated guests on cruises 15 nights and shorter.
-- Certain destinations do not accept unsupervised pre-cruise self-testing, including Canada, Bermuda, Greece, and Spain. If used for visiting these destinations, self-testing must be supervised by a medical professional.
-- Regardless of the type of test taken, unvaccinated guests will be required to present their negative test results via VeriFLY or as part of the embarkation process.
-- Additionally, travel insurance is no longer a requirement for unvaccinated guests unless it is required by a destination, such as Bermuda. Irrespective of vaccination status, travel insurance is required for all guests visiting Fiji.
