NOW! New Carnival Travel Restriction and Policy for March 2020

Editorial Summary

Tony discusses a new travel policy issued by Carnival Cruise Lines for sailings scheduled between March 13, 2022, and March 16, 2022. The policy implements guidance from the Centers for Disease Control regarding passenger health and safety. According to the communication, individuals who have been hospitalized within the last two months or have a history of severe or chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes, heart, kidney, or lung diseases, are temporarily prohibited from sailing. Additionally, travelers aged 70 or older must present a doctor's fit to sail letter at check-in to confirm they do not meet specific medical criteria. The policy also restricts passengers who have traveled to certain locations, including China, Hong Kong, Macau, South Korea, Italy, Iran, Japan, and Singapore, within the 20 days prior to embarkation. Guests who meet these criteria may choose between a cash refund or a future cruise credit accompanied by onboard credit. The creator notes that these requirements follow discussions between the cruise industry and a government task force regarding ship safety. He advises travelers to consult with their travel professionals to understand how these changes affect their specific plans.
