CRUISE NEWS UPDATE - CARNIVAL CRUISE LEAVES FAMILY BEHIND BECAUSE OF TESTING

Editorial Summary

The creator provides several cruise industry updates, beginning with the successful return of tourism to Saint Martin, which recently hosted six ships and thousands of passengers. The report also highlights a special event on the Carnival Mardi Gras involving chef Emeril Lagasse, who participated in a ribbon cutting for his new restaurant at sea. Regarding international policy changes, the creator notes that MSC Cruises now requires vaccination for all eligible passengers, with exceptions for children under twelve. Similarly, Dream Cruises in Singapore has announced it will allow international passengers on its cruises to nowhere, provided they meet vaccination requirements. The final segment details a situation in Tampa where a family of four was denied boarding on a Carnival cruise. Although the parents and older daughter were vaccinated, the youngest daughter required a PCR test that did not arrive at the port in time. While Carnival refunded the family's money, the creator uses the incident to advise travelers to have backup testing options to avoid similar issues at the port.
