Zika and Carnival

[Markanddonna]

I saw this on the news and looked it up. Carnival is allowing pregnant women an accommodation:

 

Carnival Cruise Line released a statement on the virus:

“Carnival Cruise Line is committed to the safety, health and well-being of our guests and employees. We are in close contact with public health officials regarding the recent Zika virus alert that provides specific guidance to pregnant women and those trying to become pregnant. We are proactively providing all guests with information regarding Zika. Pregnant women who wish to cancel their cruise will be provided alternate itinerary options that do not include destinations on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control’s list of Zika transmission areas. Alternately those guests may request a future cruise credit and re-schedule their voyage at a later date (at no penalty). As with any travel, consumers should check with public health authorities to be informed regarding health matters at the destinations they will visit and exercise appropriate precautions. Those seeking additional information on the Zika virus are encouraged to contact their healthcare provider or visit the CDC website.

 

I doesn't mention anything about the pregnant woman's traveling partner.

only the wife has to cancel DH can go & enjoy ;)

 

 

Anyone booked in the same cabin can cancel

I am sure they will not make the partner go on a cruise without his spouse

I'm happy Carnival Cruise Line has taken this position.

 

Does it apply to all of Carnival Corporation's brands?
