CARNIVAL DROPS PRE CRUISE TESTING FOR MOST CRUISES - CRUISE NEWS
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Tony from La Lido Loca reports on significant updates within the cruise industry as of August 13, 2022. The primary news involves Carnival Corporation, including the Princess brand, announcing the removal of pre-cruise testing requirements for vaccinated passengers on most long sailings. While certain itineraries such as full Panama Canal transits, Greece, Canada, and Bermuda still require testing, the policy change marks a major shift for the majority of cruisers. The host notes that this follows similar moves by Norwegian Cruise Line and suggests that the industry is beginning to see a relaxation of restrictions. Additionally, the report highlights the return of cruising to New Zealand, noting that a twelve day cruise from Sydney recently stopped in Auckland, marking the first visit to the location in over two years. The video concludes with the host announcing a personal upcoming cruise on the Discovery Princess departing from Seattle for a seven day Alaskan itinerary.
