ROUGH CRUISE NEWS - 2 DAY PRE-CRUISE TEST REQUIRED and MORE CRUISES CANCELED
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator discusses significant updates from Carnival Cruise Line regarding ship restarts and new testing requirements. Following announcements from brand ambassador John Heald, several Carnival ships have had their restart dates pushed from 2021 into 2022, including the Carnival Sensation, Liberty, Sunshine, Paradise, and Ecstasy. This shift has resulted in numerous cancellations for travelers booked on these vessels. Additionally, Carnival is transitioning its pre-cruise testing requirement from a 72 hour window to a 48 hour window, effective September 13. The creator notes that while Carnival is exploring the possibility of mobile testing sites at ports as a last resort, passengers may find it more economical to test at home. The video also confirms that current vaccination, masking, and distancing protocols will remain in place through the end of the year. The creator suggests these changes regarding testing windows might eventually be adopted by other cruise lines in the industry.
