The safety regulations changed between the time I booked in April and boarded in November.
Carnival had hand-sanitizing machines around the ship. Lisa Galek
When I made our cruise reservations in April, Carnival required guests to provide proof of vaccination and a negative COVID-19 test before sailing.
Then, in late October, I received an email from Carnival saying that “vaccines, proof of vaccination, and testing for unvaccinated guests are no longer required on cruises of 15 nights or less.”
I wasn’t thrilled with this update but hoped most of my fellow passengers were fully vaccinated like we were.
Carnival recommended wearing masks indoors on the ship, but they weren’t required, and few people wore them. However, dispensers of hand sanitizer were stationed around the boat, and we used them frequently.
