This is great news! 
I hope all major cruise lines start the same protocol soon!

Needs to change to all sailings short or long.

So perhaps they're going to match Princess and Virgin's 90% vaccinated adults number but didn't specifically say that?

 

What does "Maintaining a high percentage of fully vaccinated guests, far above the general population" mean?

 

66% are fully vaccinated, so would 75% be considered high above?

I’m hoping they one up them and do 50/50…I always shoot high. 😆

I'd be fine with 90% and "no questions asked" like Virgin and Princess.  If that's the case, I have $40,000 in Cancun all-inclusive bookings to call up and cancel and switch to cruises, hah!

 

I'm itching every day to book right down the line, every month left in 2022 and every month in 2023.  I have a LOT of RCL points to catch up on to try to make Pinnacle by 50, lol.

 

Edit: I just read they're only telling BOOKED GUESTS the week of August 1 what they mean in general.  Yeesh!

I’m currently waiting to see what Carnival does. I want to book a 5 day on the Sunshine in March and take my unvaccinated granddaughters. 
 

I already have my 4 cruises booked with RC.

I'm pretty much ready to book my first-ever on Virgin but if it's just another week to hold out to see what Royal does, I can wait.  I've got 4 more trips to Cancun in 2022 for about 34 days total and it's already too late to cancel some of those, I think.  So I can be patient a week; doesn't mean I like it, haha.

Best wishes for Carnival changing their policy so your granddaughters can go!

Good luck with your vacays!
