CRUISE NEWS - HUGE CHANGES WITH CARNIVAL AND PRINCESS
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator discusses recent updates regarding vaccine, testing, and masking policies for Carnival and Princess cruise lines. Princess cruise lines will transition to optional masking starting March 1, though passengers may still be asked to wear masks in specific crowded venues. Carnival cruise lines is adjusting its policies so that children under five are no longer counted as unvaccinated, which increases the likelihood of adults receiving exemptions. Additionally, the testing regimen for these lines is changing from a two day requirement to a three day requirement, providing travelers with more flexibility for pre-cruise travel. The creator expresses significant excitement about these changes, particularly regarding an upcoming fourteen day cruise on the Island Princess. The creator notes that Princess cruise lines maintained strict masking policies throughout the pandemic, making their decision to move to optional masking a significant indicator that industry restrictions are easing. The video concludes with the suggestion that other major lines like Royal Caribbean and Celebrity may eventually follow suit with similar masking policy changes.
