Bahamas and Carnival Testing

[cmukid87]

Bahamas is requiring a negative test for vaccinated persons starting August 6.

We leave August 7 so before Carnivals rules start. This means we need to test the day we leave to get into the Bahamas? I haven't heard Carnival mention this.

Bahamas only requires that for cruises starting there. Carnivals testing policy is what we all have to worry about.

I understand that. I leave Saturday, so before Carnivals testing policies kick in. And this is a NEW announcement from the Bahamas. It starts Friday.

The new announcement does not change anything for cruise passengers that are departing from the US. It changes requirements for those starting in the Bahamas like Adventure of the Seas though. We only have to comply with the cruise lines requirements at the time. So if you’re leaving before carnivals policy goes into effect, lucky you..no test needed.
