Carnival drops pre-cruise testing for vaccinated travelers on short cruises

CRUISE_Carnival_Cruise_logo.jpg
Carnival Cruise Line is ending pre-cruise testing for fully vaccinated passengers on cruises of five nights or less.

Pre-cruise testing for itineraries six nights or longer can be conducted three days before departure.

Unvaccinated passengers need to arrange own testing

There will be no in-terminal testing for unvaccinated passengers on day of departure, but all unvaccinated travelers 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 days before embarkation.

These changes take effect Aug. 4.
