CRUISE NEWS - CRUISE WITHOUT VACCINE UPDATE

Editorial Summary

Tony from La Lido Loca provides an update regarding Carnival Cruise Line's policies for unvaccinated passengers traveling to the Caribbean. The host explains that Carnival follows CDC guidelines which require at least 90 percent of guests to be vaccinated, leaving a 10 percent margin for unvaccinated travelers. Children aged four and under are excluded from these specific calculations. The update focuses on guests with medical or religious exemptions, specifically noting a change in documentation requirements. Previously, passengers with medical exemptions were required to provide a doctor's note or other proof of their status. Under the new policy, once a medical exemption is approved, passengers no longer need to bring physical documentation to the ship. However, the host notes that passengers must still follow all testing procedures required for unvaccinated guests. He also highlights a potential risk for travelers, noting that passengers must pay for their cruises in full before receiving approval for an exemption. The video concludes with a recommendation for travelers to review the specific exemption policies on the Carnival website.
