I put more stock in Carnival’s legal team. These are the protocols as announced by Carnival Legal. As much as I respect Mr. Heald & my PVP, they are staying quiet at the moment until they receive instructions on talking points from their superiors. It’s strictly Corp policy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is the reality. Much like store's that requires masks always had people ignore it. Go anywhere right now and the vaccinated are more likely to be wearing masks. If that results in masks being required, the vaccinated will be the ones following the rules and the non - vaxxed won't. I don't expect much in the way of enforcement. Just wish everyone would get vaxxed, but it is what is. I'll be on 100% vaccinated cruise in July, and then we'll see what happens on my Mardi Gras cruise in November. I'm sail either way, and accept the restrictions if they are there, but I sure hope they don't exist, at least when we aren't in crowds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jedi bobs Posted May 26, 2021 #78 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Just posted on John Healds page and he says that we will get the new protocalls before May 31, so those are the old protocals 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the odds are high the entire West Coast ports and much of New England ports. What a weird resumption this will be with highly variable requirements from one port to the next. It would be unconst. for any individual state to restrict interstate travel to it/through it by requiring a vaccine Verification upon entry. It can require a test or a quarantine period but it cannot unilaterally requires all people driving, etc. through it to be vaccinated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh?!?!...I never said the entire state as this is about ports although Florida sure is trying to mandate in the opposite end of things, sooooo. There is nothing "unconst" as you say with local ports/municipalities creating requirements such as vaccination for use of terminal, parking, etc. This doesn't even include destination ports as they may also require vaccination. Most ports will wait to see what the cruise lines do then adjust accordingly although I'd wager most won't add a layer of requirements but rather leave it to the cruise line if rules are deemed appropriate.

jsglow Posted May 26, 2021 #84 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Okay, John Heald just walked it all back. While there is ZERO mention on the Carnival homepage, those newly posted protocols are alleged to be Alaska ONLY and that updated protocols for July and beyond (presumably for the Caribbean) will be published by May 31. Whoever let that horse out of the barn in terms of messaging ought to be fired by sundown. Nowhere did it say 'Alaska Only' despite John's 'fine print' claim. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These aren't rumors. It was literally ham handedly posted on the Carnival webpage. I read legal documents as part of my profession. This was an unforced error, nothing less. Blame Carnival. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cushing985 Posted May 26, 2021 #87 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I don't have any interest in wearing a mask on vacation and I don't want restrictions on excursions or even not to be able to wander around a port on our own. I'm fully vaccinated. Our next cruise isn't until March of 2022 and expect a lot of this nonsense will go away by then. If not, we'll cancel. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how many Constitutional Scholars there seems to be on Cruise Critic. Everyone that says "it would be un-constituional" has never read the Constitution. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s remarkable that They are twisting themselves into knots just to accommodate those who refuse to be vaccinated. It’s looking pretty clear that fully vaccinated cruises will have no mask or other health protocols, but certainly unvaccinated/mixed cruises will and vaccinated passengers will have to comply. I wouldn’t count on the Public Health Emergency being lifted in July. There’s a 60 day advance notice window under the law, so they would have to indicate a move this month unless something dramatic happens. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would masking and other protocols apply to the fully vaccinated sailings to Alaska and not the other planned “no vaccine requirement” cruises? It’s a ridiculous statement by JH. NCL and RCI have said that protocols will not apply to their vaccinated sailings. Why would Carnival take the opposite position? Makes no sense.

Look, I get Carnival wanting to accommodate families this summer. But I personally think very few fully vaccinated folks would sail under the guidelines, as articulated by the company.

Seems like they put out protocols back in Jan/Feb and they walked those back based on negative feedback online. And now they’re doing it again. They are going to have to stick with the protocols at some point (unless they wait for the CSO to expire to sail) if they intend to sail with unvaccinated passengers. Can’t just keep retreating when they get negative feedback. Edited May 26, 2021 by harkinmr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
