B2B testing

[Hoosierpop]

For anyone on a recent Glory B2B, did they test before the second leg? Or, if no Glory passengers, on any other ships? Or maybe another way to put it, has anyone been on a B2B in the last month where they did test?

 

And if they did test, did they really charge $150 per person? Craziness.

Vaccinated guests traveling on back-to-back cruises may need to be tested in between voyages. <- straight from Carnival's covid policy page.

 

and what poppycock. I have never seen where Carnival charged for testing on b2b.

and what poppycock. I have never seen where Carnival charged for testing on b2b (except for UNVACCINATED guests).

Yeah, I’m an idiot. I was reading under the unvaccinated guest part about the testing costs. So that won’t apply. But this is what threw me.

 

All guests traveling on back to back cruises will need to be tested in between voyages. Irrespective of voyage length, testing will be provided on a complimentary basis to children ages 2-4. Unvaccinated children ages 5-11 will be charged US$60 per person, and guests ages 12 and older will be charged US$150 per person to their onboard Sail & Sign account for testing and reporting.

 

I just saw some folks saying a that testing was up to each ship now, so trying to see what the current situation is.

Off the Mardi Gras three weeks ago. We were not tested prior to the second cruise.

Testing between B2B changed the beginning of April.  It is up to the doctor on board to determine if testing is required based on the number of covid cases on board.

They stopped testing back in March on a B2B.

This is what they are doing.

Currently on Mardi Gras Back to Back. No testing this morning. Just a quick off and right back on. We did spend an hour waiting in the Flamingo dining room with the rest of the back to backers. Some who were obviously sick with some kind of respiratory infection…..

So you are talking about the future, not what is occurring right now.

Is this a recent email ?  They were not testing B2Bs on the Pride in Europe last month.

That's almost as bad as going to the hospital and catching a bug leaving you sicker than you were.

Thank you. 

So just unvaccinated getting tested.

May 8th they were not testing vaccinated guests doing B2Bs.
