This article is from June, from reading this it don't seem like cruises will be there anymore. Which is a shame cause there's gonna be a domino affect for area businesses without tourist dollars coming in. Charleston Just Told Carnival It Can No Longer Sail Out Of Its Port Starting In 2024, Here’s Why https://www.travelawaits.com/2769976/carnival-cruise-lines-not-sailing-out-of-charleston-south-carolina-2024/

Well it does say, "These policies will be in place until further notice." So yeah.

Except my post wasn't an opinion it was a quote from an article.

Carnival is currently sticking with the CDC guidance of sailing with 95 percent of passengers vaccinated. However, the line will provide vaccine exemptions to children under 12 and adults who are not able to receive the vaccine to fill 5 percent of available berths. On cruises out of Long Beach and select fall sailings, Carnival will extend vaccine exemptions to travelers with religious beliefs that prevent them from getting vaccinated. Unvaccinated passengers who wish to sail will need to be pre-approved during the booking process. The exemptions are not guaranteed and are capacity controlled. These guests will be required to follow specific health protocols and testing requirements, including providing a negative PCR test result at the port, taking an additional antigen test at embarkation and again 24 hours before the cruise ends, and only going ashore in controlled-environment "bubble" tours. Cruisers departing from Florida and Texas who are not vaccinated must purchase travel insurance for their sailing. Unvaccinated guests sailing from those states, as well as Maryland and Louisiana, who cannot be vaccinated due to health reasons must provide a doctor's note confirming the medical exemption. These policies will be in place until further notice. https://cruise.blog/2021/09/cruise-lines-dont-require-covid-vaccines

My friend was all set to sail and I was all set to watch her dogs until she had to take the test and it showed positive, therefore her cruise was canceled. This was a couple months ago.. and it turned out it was a false positive, her doctor tested her and it was negative.

First cruise ever!

I know that my Capital One, Discover and Amazon Chase have on all of there's. " Please contact us if you will be traveling out of the country" So yea that would be the smart thing to do..

Hey yall, I will be having my gastric bypass on Aug 10th and are planning to go on my first cruise March/April 2023 on Carnival Sunshine out of Charleston destination(s) unknown, so I will be 7-8 mths post op.. My stomach will be the size of an egg. I should be back on solid foods by then, if not and I still need my protein shakes; has anyone had dealings with cruise lines allowing you to bring your own? Or will the ship make them; if so, will it be included in costs like it is for vegans or will there be a per shake charge? And if I am back on solid foods by then; what has been your experience as a gastric bypass cruiser? Thanks.
