Before boarding a Carnival cruise, passengers must take a COVID-19 test within a specific time frame. The type of test required varies depending on the passenger's vaccination status and the cruise's departure date. Generally, unvaccinated passengers must take a PCR or antigen test within three days of embarkation, while vaccinated passengers may take an antigen test within one day of embarkation.
Taking a COVID-19 test before a Carnival cruise is important for the safety of all passengers and crew. It helps to reduce the risk of spreading the virus on board and ensures that everyone can enjoy their vacation safely. Carnival Cruise Line has implemented these testing requirements in accordance with the latest health and safety guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other relevant authorities.
