👉Carnival REVEALS Covid Protocol Plans & Cruise News Updates

[@TheTravelScouts]

⭐QUESTION: Would you be up for doing a one year cruise? A - Yes, B - No

[@sharondalynnewton7562]

A

[@russelldorsey9765]

For sure on a year long cruise. As long as it is mega ship

[@anthemmom90]

Only if it was free

[@jodybranum4015]

A, most definitely

[@TheRecon1a]

A. And about 14-15 days for a cruise.

[@jimroscovius]

I would do the same thing I did last time masks were required. I cancelled my cruise.

[@peterp.194]

If you are that worried about Covid, you shouldn't be cruising. That said, the two times I got Covid were directly after I got back from a cruise. Will it stop me from cruising? No. Time to go on with life. This virus will be around forever and is just going to be a part of life.

[@NorthPhillyNif]

My lil cousin and her parents caught COVID on our June cruise but my son and I did not.

[@DivoBeaute]

My 2nd time I caught it was on a cruise as well. It sucked the symptoms hit during the drive back from the port.

[@HOlsen-xe1xy]

Me too, but that doesn't stop me from cruising

[@constancecook-cruisetravel1166]

Oh my gosh I so agree with you. I so agree.

[@barbarasiqueira9533]

Perfect in every possible way.

[@Dantinus]

If cruise line bring back masks, they should give their customers the option to cancel their booking with all deposits, excursions, drink and dining packages refunded. Let's hit them at the bottom line.

[@ShadyS-2012]

They wouldn't have to give you the option, it would render the contract null and void. I cancelled a cruise back when they did this the first time, and they were forced to return all funds, including non-refundable deposits. That's the beautiful thing about contracts, unless both parties agree to any changes made after the initial contract was agreed to, it no longer exists ;)

Any company that recommends masks for Covid protection should be sued for giving fail medical advice. Covid aerosols range from 13 to 60 microns in size. N95 masks are rated for aerosols of 20 microns or larger, offer no documented protection against the aerosols from 13 to 20 microns in size. I'm almost certain you can sue anyone that endangers your life, by force.

[@Hawkeye2001]

Anyone "demanding" a return to Covid Protocols for cruising should just stay home.

[@Hilly_On_The_Go]

Have 2 on the books for 2024 now (Jan & July) looking at booking another before the year is up. Hopefully no mandates 🤞🏽

[@deenaspletstoser2031]

Fact is, cruise lines can't afford to go back to mandates. They still haven't recovered from the first time around. With the amount of people who would cancel if mandates were reinstated it would "sink" the cruise lines.

[@lovecruisin6457]

Agreed. Concerts, hotels, theme parks - I don’t hear them talking about mask mandates. Fact is - at least for me - I had to get vaccinated and wear a mask to keep my job as a teacher. Never again - retired in June - I will sub as long as there are no mask or vax mandates.

[@raymccarty4612]

At this point, I am just waiting to cancel the minute the change happens. I predict a push sometime early next year.

[@constancecook-cruisetravel1166]

Totally agree

[@loristitt1836]

I would cancel for sure

[@karenjensen2345]

Agreed

[@Horm999]

Booked on Norwegian at the end of October out of Italy. Received an email from Norwegian to say they are not re-instating mandates but passengers need to start watching for protocols in all ports and for any flight layover stops. If masking comes back, we will be cancelling the cruise, that is NOT a vacation! Just got off an Alaskan cruise a couple of weeks ago, doing fine.

[@stephendacey8761]

I don't care what anybody says, but it is literally impossible to even guess what a person really looks like under a mask. I met a girl who I knew back in the mask days, and when she took off the mask she looked 20 years older than I imagined and looked much different than expected. Wearing masks takes away what it's like to be who you really are. I can't believe people want masks back. I guess if you are really ugly than why not. It helps with some people.

[@rcfnc]

@@stephendacey8761 I know. I have seen a few people wearing them in the grocery stores again. Unbelievable how gullible people are.

[@rosey312]

@@stephendacey8761 unfortunately people who know they are infected don't care if they infect others. Just masking for 2 days after you know that you are positive would perhaps save someone else from a ruined vacation. I took a cruise earlier this year, in good health and the person sitting in front of me on a tour was coughing up a storm, telling his other symptoms then admitted he was covid positive and found out the day before! 5 days later I was positive because he couldn't wear a mask until he was non infectious. The last days of my vacations was ruined because he thought it was no big deal. I ended up so sick I lost 15 pounds. I wore masks when I was sick long before covid when I had a cold or especially the flu. It is just a few days of inconvenience. The people who don't care is the real reason that the cruises are not as full as they used to be.

[@Kegs2689]

I will be canceling with NCL also if protocols are reinstated

[@reempire888]

I just got back from an Alaskan cruise last week, and I am doing just fine. If they demand vaccination, I'm canceling my cruise for next yr.

[@TexasbyStorm]

If protocols return I will cancel every single one of the 4 cruises I have booked between Oct 2023 and Dec 2024. The longest cruise we did was 10 days. I was ready to go home by day 8. Eight day cruises are the best for me. You get 7 full days of crusing and jump off on day 8.

[@sweetcaroline1125]

Good

[@skeletor9121]

I refuse to get another Covid vaccine and if told as a condition to sail, I’ll cancel my three cruises planned for 2024.

[@mikedoran6753]

Thank God on the Covid protocol I booked my first cruise with my wife and the only stipulation I have. I'm not wearing a mask and I'm not getting vaccinated. I purchased insurance.

We would rather wear a mask till seated at dinner and wherever its the rule We have had 6 jabs and cert proof Why ta,e a chance and go through it all again We wear a mask on coach shuttles which is not a problem better be safe than sorry

[@donnaschuepbach3830]

I have risky health issues but love cruising. So I CHOOSE to self mask with a N95 mask in crowded areas. Others can personally choose to do what they feel is right for their own health, including not cruising.

[@lindaroland2277]

I feel the same. Although my husband and I don’t have any health issues, we are in our late 60’s, so on a recent cruise on Oasis of the Seas, we chose to wear our N95 masks, whenever we were indoors (except when eating) and even at crowded outdoor venues. The ship was at full capacity…over 6500 cruisers, plus who know how many thousand staff, but we maybe saw a handful of other people wearing masks. It didn’t bother us in the least. We feel like, you do you and I’ll do me. Anyway, we never got Covid, so we’ll probably do the same thing on our next cruise.

[@donnaschuepbach3830]

@lindaroland2277 And I must say, the mask is great in the smoky Casino! I'm sort of a germaphobe, especially with always washing my hands. I'm glad because on my last cruise, my table of friends ALL got what appeared to be Norovirus.

[@donnaschuepbach3830]

@lindaroland2277 6,500 people is a lot! I live in a pretty careful community and even now, many are choosing to mask up at stores.

[@tonydidonato912]

[@SuperHockeyQueen]

There are two reasons for choosing. I choose because of price but I exclude all Carnival ships.

[@scottmatthew3101]

I wonder how many of the unnamed and unverified people who weote to CCL "demanding" reinstatement of COVID privations are employees, shareholders, or loyalty cruisers for NCL or RCI. 🤔 Because, fact is, if one or several lines bring back the mandates I'll certainly book on one of the lines which doesn't, and I'm sure I'm not alone and I'm sure the various boards of directors know it.

[@AmandaMolly]

Agreed.

Or paid by the powers that be to send emails

[@cruisingal2]

I doubt seriously the shareholders want this. I am a shareholder in RCL and my stock would drop like a rock if they bring back masking. It'll drop some if there is a big outbreak of covid .... or a new manufactured pandemic.

[@JWH-01]

Struggling to breath through a mask would take every bit of enjoyment out of being on the cruise. I refuse to spend my money to be masked up on a cruise. We love cruising. We haven't gone the past few years because of the mask requirements. We are looking forward to a cruise we have booked later this year. However, we simply won't go if masking becomes a requirement again.

None of those reasons include Carnival changing their rules. The final payment for our cruise is due in a few days. It will be decision time tomorrow.

I have no intentions of masking at all. We have traveled extensively since the world opened back up and I stayed covid free on multiple cruises and flights, took care of sick family members ---finally caught it this summer hanging out at home with my family that I am always with. It was bound to finally get me but until they show the science that says masking works I will not be participating in that. I am retired health care professional who worked daily in a mask it really does not bother me however there is not good data to back up masking with covid unless you are in a N95.

[@AmandaMolly]

Thank you.. There is no data to back the claim up that masks work whatsoever. Masks do not bother me much but it isn't my favourite thing and its hard to breath underneath and talk through. The governments are stupid enough to think bring back mandates. It will keep being around forever like the cold/flu season.

[@rocketstreet8704]

Personally, I select a cruise based on the ship itself more than the ports

[@Redneckboy991]

For us it's not so much about the ship, (unless it's an old tin can) but the cruise line itself. We've been to most of the ports. We now book cruises just to sit on the balcony and watch the waves go by.

[@keyman6689]

Ship for me, too. Although price and destinations are a strong consideration. For bucket list itineraries of Alaska, Canada, and Europe, I guess ports will be the primary factor. But ship will be right behind.

[@lindaschultz8124]

The ship is no different if you have to wear a face mask at the pool and isolate in your cabin I’d you get the cold.

[@mikeshaw4610]

Our biggest thing for cruise booking is timing. We generally cruise during certain dates. Year cruise: sure but I want to do a month+/- cruise first.

My cruise is in November. I work in a doctor's office and we've seen an uptick in covid and strep. I'm currently wearing a mask at work just because I refuse to get sick before my cruise 😂 but i will cancel if they require masks. I've had this planned since April of last year 😅

Just stop testing and act like you would have done in the past with a cold or flu i.e. rest and take something for it - still way too many people giving this whole thing oxygen by testing themselves, all it does is give the doom-mongers 'data' to justify their desire to bring back restrictions.

2 weeks. I don’t think I could cruise for more than 2 weeks at a time. Also I pick via the ship. Ports aren’t really enjoyable to me when cruising, if I’m about the shore stuff I’ll just book an island trip. Finally if you are afraid of Covid, stay home.

Way to go Carnival with having no mask/vaccine/testing requirements in the future. In regards to why i book a cruise, I think destination and ship are the same.

Overall i try ro balance everything between ship, destination, cost and where the ship is leaving from abd pick the one that has the most.

[@maryjanekolesar8325]

When choosing a cruise, we definitely pick destination, price, line as top criteria but which ship does play a part now: I recently found the ideal Baltic itinerary but we didn't go ahead because we really didn't like much about NCL Prima!

[@angelacastagna3824]

The best trip insurance is through a third party carrier, but it’s more expensive, especially if you want protection to cancel for any reason. And if you got sick onboard and needed to be transported off the ship, flown to a hospital etc, your regular health insurance most likely does not cover that….and it could cost you in the tens of thousands

Jason Correction on Disney Treasure It's Sailing Inaugural Cruise is Dec 2024 Not this Dec

[@lauramiller7994]

My husband & I have 3 upcoming cruises (Oct, Dec, Febr). I hope that we will be allowed to cancel with full refund if any mandates return. . People get colds. And sometimes people get colds while traveling.

[@derkong7114]

I have a NCL cruise to Alaska end of September I will not sail if I am required a mask even if I walk away without a refund... And I would never book another cruise going forward...

[@rapunzel1701]

I will not comply with even a mask suggestion.

A. I chose my cruise for the deals I'm offered. Carnival does a great job offering great deals. I'm a casino club member and enjoy the deals.

[@forcedair92gt94]

A - yes to the year cruise. No to any kind of idiot government mandates.

[@mitchellbelinda50]

Price is very important; but even if price is affordable, I’ll pass depending on the destination, and the ship activities! I love cruising but cruising for a year is a little bit too much, even for me! Thanks for sharing

[@donfayetteville3582]

If you want masks--- then stay the heck home.

[@johnnyp5573]

We have 2 concerns when picking a cruise. 1st is the dates, have to work around work and kids school. 2nd is then price

I like to think beyond “will *I* get Covid” and consider, “if *I* get Covid, who will I spread it to”? It’s not that I will get inconvenienced by getting sick, but how many others will get sick because of me? So I’ll continue to wash my hands, avoid crowds, wear a mask if I can’t avoid crowds, keep my hands away from my eyes and nose, and test anytime I’ve had prolonged contact with anyone or if I will be in a crowd. It’s not a big sacrifice for me to keep myself safe and in turn not exposing others. Yep, I’ve been cruising and masking anytime I left the cabin. Yep I hate the masks, but I would hate making someone else sick even more.

I can never find " down in notes" what travel insurance did you use..thanks Jason

[@RobinT-treehugger]

I can't see the requirement for vaccinations coming back. On our cruise last summer to Alaska, everyone had to do the tele-health thing but once onboard, it seemed people were walking around bragging about scamming the system. Sure enough, people got sick.... including me and hubby both. Post-cruise on our FB group for the cruise people reported at least 50% positives withing days of returning. Obviously, the system didn't work. We are heading out on a cruise in a few weeks and I am getting my flu and Covid boosters this week. Trips are expensive and I don't want to miss out of having a good time, sick in my room.

[@legendaryone731]

A) yes. I would love to do one of the world cruises that goes 180+ days when i retire

My favorite COVId protocol was only the gloved staff handling the buffet serving utensils. The washing stations are too bad although many have worse than stupid design! Would anyone be okay with not quarantining but just requiring someone who tests positive for COVId to wear the masks? How about cruise ships not sailing full to the brim? There were some things that were part of the protocols that people liked!

[@PHSCG06]

As a professional Travel Agent I agree always add the Travel Protection and I do not think any company will be able to have a repeat of the COVID mandates.

[@marynell]

Hi cruise new, my answer is B and the longest I would do a cruise is 1 month.

[@aleahaleaha2593]

I would definitely cancel if my booking required vaccines and masking. I’ll do the same as before. I’ll keep my money and travel how and where it is not required.
