YouTube Video Description

Effective with sailings as of September 13, 2021, the CDC requires pre-cruise testing for vaccinated guests to be taken within two days prior to the sailing date. This will impact Carnival cruises. If the sailing is on Saturday, the test may be taken on Thursday and Friday, and as late as Saturday, if you are guaranteed to receive your results in time for check-in. Mobile Testing Carnival realizes some guests will have a challenge getting a pre-cruise COVID-19 test that goes into effect on September 13, 2021, so they are working to set up mobile testing sites at all of their embarkation homeports to conduct a rapid test the day before or day of departures. They are still working out the details so subscribe and watch for updates. Carnival will be subsidizing the infrastructure of the mobile testing sites, but the company providing the testing will charge a per-person fee (to be established). Providers will not accept insurance, but will provide a receipt should you wish to submit the cost to your insurance carrier. Carnival stresses that you should consider this as a back-up alternative should you not be able to make other arrangements. The mobile labs will either be in or adjacent to our terminals, or within walking distance.
