Carnival Cruise Line has adjusted some of its Covid-19 protocols to reflect the lifting of CDC requirements for the US cruise industry.

Regardless of the type of test taken, unvaccinated guests will still be required to present their negative test results via VeriFLY or as part of the embarkation process

Effective for embarkations on or after Thursday (4 August), fully vaccinated guests will no longer have to take a pre-cruise test on cruises with itineraries five-nights or less.


Pre-cruise testing for itineraries six-nights or longer can be conducted three days before departure and there will be no in-terminal testing for unvaccinated guests on day of departure.

However, all unvaccinated guests aged two and older must provide proof of a negative result of a lab-administered or supervised self-administered antigen test taken within three days before embarkation.
