It’s not a requirement of any of the countries the ship is visiting! 

I  concerned that refund won’t be made, has anyone managed to get a response yet?

Would you be able to get a booster in London - at least for the Pride cruises.   Immediately after a booster you're considered to have met the requirements.

No sadly not. U.K. won’t allow 12-15 year olds boosters at all and no option privately in the U.K.. The only teens allowed are the vunerable group for health reasons which will be a minority. 

Anyone any experience of what happens when you CANT get a booster as your country simply doesn’t offer them to under 16s? This surely must affect many many passengers sailing from U.K. and some Europeans on summer holiday cruises?? 

Yes all summer sailings in Europe on Carnival Pride now suddenly state over 12yrs need a booster if more than 6 months since second vaccine. The massive issue here is that the UK and most European countries do NOT allow 12-15 year olds to have a booster vaccine so we have absolutely no way of getting a booster for our teen who will be 6.5 months after her second vaccine. How can it be right that when we booked it we met the criteria but now don't and will lose the money? Presumably many people on these European cruises are from that area and in the same position. The cruise line looks to make a lot of money if they don't refund fully including deposits by simply reselling these cruises. Other cruises either don't require boosters or allow 270 days from the second.
