This is huge problem , since many people do fly in the day before. If your cruise is a Monday, you would test Saturday and fly tp port on Sunday. You will not get the results. 

We need to find out if the rapid test is acceptable. That is ready within an hour.

Negative antigen test may be tricky for those who fly into port a day ahead of time.  Last test I took, it took 3 days to get the results.

That sucks.  Will the tests be provided at the pier for free, or will guest need to get tested privately in advance at their own expense.   Vaccinated and non-vax? 

Carnival.com said there will be no testing for Vaccinated passengers at the pier. They will test unvaccinated people at $150 a piece. You can get tested for free using insurance at most pharmacies. 

I found Hard Mikes yesterday, and can't find it today. Anybody?

Hey everyone,

 

We just booked Mardi Gras for a last minute cruise this afternoon, and just now received a letter saying the reservation had cancelled. The booking number is not the one we had on our invoice, but everything else (name, date, etc) were all correct. Is this a mistake with Carnival IT or did something go afoul? We put a call in to our PVP, but given the late hour, we aren't sure we'll get a call back until tomorrow.

Any updated information?

Family drama has prompted me to try to book a last minute cruise for my wife and I. 

 

Our options for flights aren't great, as she works until 7p on the night before the cruise.  There is a flight at 7:15, so she could possibly get coverage and we could do that.  There's another flight the next morning (day of the cruise) which arrives in Miami at 12:40pm.\

 

Actually I just found a third option, a direct flight from my airport to Miami with American which arrives in Miami at 9:30am (day of cruise)

 

 

How risky is the flight on the day of the cruise?  It's august, unlikely to get weather delays..

 

A definite no to the 12:40 pm flight. The AA non stop arriving at 9:30 am is possible but risky.  My AA non stop flight was  just changed by AA to a stop over in Charlotte. And by the way, no one let me know, I just happened to be checking.

We have a November cruise booked and if we haven't heard anything by our final payment date we will cancel. We have five adults and two cabins, but one person won't be vaccinated. If he is going to be treated like third-class steerage then we won't be going. 

The people in the cabin with the unvaccinated person need to go on bubble tours also. 

Thanks for the info. Let us know what you find out. 

Now it seems like you can't see or print the tags until check in. 

The survey has been up for awhile. Its very simple. Do you have a vaccine, or do you have a waiver, or you do not have a vaccine? They list all the people on your reservations, and you answer the questions. 

Is it at check in that all that above  info  plus charge card for sail and sign card is filled out or do you do it ahead of time ? Thanks.

Did you book a guarantee? If so then they technically have the right. I’d be on the phone to see if I can pay to upgrade to something I’d like better. Because next to the imax theater sounds absolutely terrible to me. 

No he had the "choose your own room" which they did. 

You can always look at the luggage tags.  Mine doesn't say Priority either. Not too happy about it. 

July 2001 Mother and adult daughter vacation

That was so much fun to watch. What a great family! Thanks for sharing. 

Yes, the drink of the day day on the Lido is included, but not if it's in a souvenir glass.

I think the extra room considering a baby and teenager, along with the small tub would be most important, to choose the suite. But the balcony is great while waiting for the two year old to nap, and adding useable space since there will be 4 of you.  I think whichever you choose, you can make it work. 

This will be my first time with Drinks on Us promotion. I have the same questions as dte300. Also 

do you have to do anything the first day about getting this or is it automatic ?

Even though this is for the Cheers program, it seems to come through the Casino promotion.

All inclusive beach vacations.

They will  credit your account automatically and will send you a refund amount if the cc hasn't been used in 90 days.  Otherwise call .

Received my deposit from my March 30th canceled cruise. But still waiting for my cruise fare refund. Carnival says it was issued April 6th . Guest relations says it takes time. Feeling frustrated...

Carnival accounting now says it's a bank problem. They said they would check into it.

Very few dressed formal.

We were booked on a March 30th cruise. My cabin mate got her refund last week. I just found out mine was deposited in my account last month, but my bank knew nothing about it. Carnival and bank are looking into it.
