Beginning Tuesday, September 6, 2022, Carnival Cruise Line will be implementing new COVID-19 guidelines for both vaccinated and unvaccinated passengers.
Vaccinated guests must continue to provide proof of their vaccination status, either through VeriFLY or at embarkation.
Pre-cruise testing is no longer required, but some destinations will still require a COVID-19 test before sailing.
