I HAD TO CANCEL MY CARNIVAL CRUISE - ANGRY RANT

Editorial Summary

The creator expresses deep disappointment regarding her decision to cancel an upcoming cruise on the Carnival Mardi Gras. The issue stems from a change in Carnival's policy regarding on board testing for vaccinated passengers. Although the creator had previously confirmed that testing would be available for those needing to return to Canada, she was informed that the company would no longer provide tests to vaccinated passengers. This creates a significant logistical hurdle for international travelers who require PCR tests to board flights home. The creator explains that attempting to secure a last minute test in Florida would involve high costs for rushed procedures, expensive flight changes, and additional hotel and transportation expenses. She notes that other major cruise lines like Celebrity, Princess, and Royal Caribbean continue to offer these services. While she praises the individual staff members for being helpful and concerned, she criticizes the corporate policy for failing to accommodate non American passengers. Ultimately, she concludes that she cannot recommend Carnival to Canadian or international travelers who rely on flights to return home until the testing policy is revised.
