Unless something usually happens, you should be fine. Often ship arrive in the middle of the night at Miamai and wait offshore a bit before docking.

Yes and no, Somethings are included between 6am and 10pm, while there are a charge for others. After 10pm there is a charge for everything.

I have known several people in this situation where they had a positive test, then test negative and then test positive again. I heard several health officials say there is no need to retest after the first positive test for three months since a positive test can appear again. They say it does not mean you are contagious again. So based on Carnival's policy you can sail with a document of recovery as long as you have no symptoms. Good luck and have fun.

Right

On our recent cruise on the Breeze, folks were made to pour their drinks out before leaving the ship, too.

Even after two years there are still a lot of questions about testing. In May of this year. Several family members had symptoms-coughing, sore throat, weakness, etc. I had only a running nose. We took some home test. They were negative but I was positive on two home tests. We went to get medical tests. Again, everyone tested negative but me although they still had worse symptoms.

Yes, they will have to. Finally, being vaccinated means something.

We decided this year only to take five-day cruises to hopefully avoid this situation. I realize this as not guarantee but it seems a short cruise gave less chance for the virus to manifest onboard. (We actually got a mild case a month before our cruise so hopefully that protected us a little bit.) We only heard about one family who reported covid after the cruise so that was good news.

Once testing is eliminated it will not be hard to find the news, a 1000 people will be posting here, another thousand on youtube, not to mention a few million on Facebook, and all the other platforms.

ON the Breeze, the was a long line for breakfast but since we used the app we breezed past dozens of people waiting in line who chose not to use the app.

Right- the document of recovery is simply a copy of the positive lab test from a certified lab. I too contact Carnival and email my document to them prior to the cruise. (We decided at the last minute to retest so we could use VeriFly since in my state they still offered free testing at that time.) Enjoy your cruise.

The future cruise desk is a thing of the past.

Yes, but if you added it when you booked the cruise, remove them before the final payment. Then a few days before you sail pay them if you like.

Right, please do what I did consult the official policies and email your documents to Carnival in advance for approval.

A certificate of recovery is a copy of the positive lab test.

Did you suffer a loss? and did you provide documentation of the loss?

Remember nothing is free- just included.

We may still have Royal Carnival within the next few years.

On our recent cruise, we just set up a cash account and to used the credit. We did not attach a credit card.

Right next time we will take the stairs down without all the luggage but this time we were on deck 12 with a larger suitcase and several smaller ones.

A few weeks ago, we did self-assist from deck Everyone in the lower deck rode up before going down so it took us two hours to get on an elevator. We will not do self-assist since when we finally got off the ship we had to walk right through where all the check bags were stored. If we had checked our bags and took the stairs it would have greatly reduced our wait time.

I realize from a business sense there is no saving the ship, the market is saturated with excess ships right now. My family had a lot of good times on this ship and other Fantasy class ships which in the 1990 were the mega-ships of the era.

One thing I like about this ship is there is outside seating along the Lidio deck to eat if you can take the Mobile heat. It is fairly quiet. I hope you enjoy. I wish there was a way to SAVE this ship.

We did several Thanksgiving cruises PRE, they were always packed.

We visited Cozumel a few weeks ago when 6 ships were in port. We called when docking to see if they had any availability for pay as you go customers- they did not.
