Have Fun. Be Safe.

Vaccinated guests age 5 and older will continue to provide evidence of their vaccination status prior to embarkation. Guests who do not meet the definition of fully vaccinated, or do not provide proof of vaccination, must present the results of a negative PCR or antigen test taken within three days of embarkation (or as required by destinations on the itinerary – see below).

Guests are considered fully vaccinated if they have received their final dose of an approved COVID-19 vaccine at least 14 days prior to the sailing day (not counting embarkation day) and have proof of vaccination.

Boosters may be required for specific voyages based on duration or destination requirements.

The following voyage require guests, age 12 and older, to be fully vaccinated. In addition, all guests, age 18 and older, who are more than 6 months past the last dose of their initial vaccine series must be boosted (if eligible) in order to sail.

• Carnival Spirit® 16-day Carnival Journey (Panama Canal) – September 20, 2022.

TESTING REQUIREMENTS

Vaccinated guests (with proof of vaccination) – are not required to take a pre cruise test except on cruises of 16 nights or longer or when required by a destination.

Unvaccinated guests – guests age 5 years and older will have to present the negative results of a PCR or antigen test taken no earlier than 3 days before sailing or when required by a destination. For example: if a PCR test is required 3 days before sailing, the test may be taken as early as Wednesday for a cruise departing on Saturday.

• In addition to lab administered tests, self-testing is accepted for unvaccinated guests on cruises 15 nights and shorter.
• Certain destinations do not accept unsupervised pre-cruise testing, including Bermuda, Canada, Greece, or Spain. If used for visiting these destinations, self-testing must be supervised by a medical professional.
• Regardless of the type of test taken, unvaccinated guests will be required to present their negative test results via VeriFLY, or as part of the embarkation process.
• If the test taken is supervised by a medical professional, guests can show the negative result in the form of a printout, an email, or an app screen from the test provider.
• On voyages where destinations accept self-testing, guests can provide a picture of their negative home test or present the actual negative test itself at embarkation.

Guests who self-test should write their name and test date on a piece of paper, place the negative test on the paper, and take a photograph of this on a mobile device. Please be prepared to show the image if required. Guests can choose, instead, to have a viral test taken or supervised by a trained person with written evidence of result.

DOCUMENT OF RECOVERY**

Guests who have recovered from COVID-19 within 3 months of their sailing date do not need the required pre-cruise test if they are at least 10 days past their positive test result date, have no symptoms and produce document of recovery from COVID-19.

UNVACCINATED GUESTS – VACCINE EXEMPTIONS

Unvaccinated guests are welcome to sail and do not need to apply for a Carnival vaccine exemption, except for voyages of 16 nights and longer. For guests who have a pending vaccine exemption application and are awaiting confirmation, their reservation is confirmed unless they are booked on a sailing of 16 nights or longer.

Requests for vaccine exemptions are accepted for Carnival Spirit® 16-day Carnival Journey (Panama Canal) - September 20, 2022 – guests with medical conditions preventing vaccination and religious exemptions only. Unfortunately, no exemptions will be provided for unvaccinated children under 12.

Your reservation is not considered confirmed unless you complete your vaccine attestation, as required, and receive an approved exemption. Exemptions are limited, based on the total number of vaccinated guests on the voyage and typically approved in the order in which they were received. If we are unable to approve your request, you will be eligible for a full refund. Unfortunately, we cannot assist with expenses related to a denied exemption request, and guests assume all risks related to non-refundable travel costs, (i.e., air fare, hotel, etc.). If you meet this criteria and agree to the terms of the exemptions, you may submit an application here.

It will be necessary to follow the health protocols for every port we visit, which are under the control of local authorities and subject to change without prior notice. All guests, regardless of vaccination status, must come prepared to follow local guidance pertaining to mask wearing, physical distancing, testing/health screenings, etc. Since destination health protocols continue to evolve, the most up-to-date information will be provided in a stateroom advisory.

• Bermuda - requires unvaccinated guests to present proof of travel insurance at check-in, for the duration of the voyage, which includes coverage for medical emergencies and has no COVID exclusions. This requirement is waived if a child is 11 years and under traveling with vaccinated parents. All guests must register on Bermuda's health portal and apply for a Travel Authorization here . A US$40, per person, fee applies for guests age 2 years and older. To complete the process, guests must submit proof of citizenship, picture ID, proof of vaccination, and insurance. The QR code must be presented at embarkation.
• Canada - guests must register on ArriveCAN and complete their application here . The QR code must be presented at time of embarkation.
• Canada allows unvaccinated children under 12 and offers medical exceptions with specific documentation requirements for unvaccinated teens and adults with a medical condition preventing vaccination. If you cannot be vaccinated due to medical reasons, Canadian authorities require a form to be completed by you and your medical provider, which can be found here. You must keep the original with you during the cruise and submit a copy to Carnival at check-in. Unfortunately, due to Canadian requirements, you will be unable to sail if this form is not completely filled out by your medical provider and presented at embarkation. To manage the requirements for sailings calling on Canada, guests must confirm their vaccination status as soon as the booking is made or risk cancellation of the booking.
• Unvaccinated guests are free to disembark and enjoy their time ashore. However, certain destinations have imposed certain restrictions and we cannot guarantee that more will not be added.
• Tortola – age 12 and older will have to remain on board.
• Cartagena (Colombia) and Grand Turk – age 18 and older will have to remain on board.

Itinerary Adjustments

Should it be necessary to cancel any or multiple ports, we will do our best to find alternative destinations. However, if we are unsuccessful in doing so, there will be no compensation for missed ports, beyond a refund of any pre-purchased Carnival shore excursions.

Anyone with signs and symptoms of COVID-19, or who are identified at-risk, will need to self-test at the terminal and will be approved for boarding at the discretion of our medical team. Secondary screenings (and health checks throughout the cruise) will be performed when necessary.

Any guest who tests positive at embarkation will not be able to cruise and will be provided a future cruise credit. If a guest traveled by air to join their cruise, they may be required to quarantine before traveling home.

Close contacts of a confirmed positive case will be allowed to sail if they are asymptomatic, test negative at embarkation and agree to additional testing up to 5 days from last exposure.

Quarantine

Our protocols have been implemented with the best interests of the health and safety of our guests, crew, and the destinations we serve as our number one priority. Even with our protocols in place, there may be positive COVID-19 cases during your cruise. Our ships' medical centers have capabilities for diagnosis and testing and are equipped for contact tracing. Our crew is fully vaccinated, receives boosters when eligible and wears masks indoors at all times. Given our protocols, positive cases are far below what communities are experiencing shoreside.

Guests who test positive and are quarantined on board will receive a pro-rated future cruise credit equal to the number of days in quarantine. For guests who must quarantine locally, Carnival will help make quarantine arrangements; however, all related expenses will be the guests' responsibility.

We recommend guests wear face masks while indoors, except when eating or drinking or in their own staterooms, and when in large congregate events outdoors where physical distancing cannot be maintained. Masks are recommended during the entire embarkation and debarkation process (except where required by local authorities) and while on public transportation in a U.S. port. Masks are required in the medical center.

On cruises of 16 nights or longer, masks may be required to be worn indoors, except when in the stateroom, eating or drinking.

As advised by health experts, guests are recommended to use higher-grade masks indoors (such as surgical or KN95) that have two or more layers, completely cover the nose and mouth, fit snugly against the sides of the face and have a nose wire.

Guests are not required to maintain physical distance on board the ship.

Carnival Youth Programs are open for children and teens ages 6 months to 17 years. All youth must be registered to participate; registration should be completed pre-cruise. During some cruises, capacity may be limited. Once on board, activity schedules for Camp Ocean™ (ages 2-11), Circle “C”® (ages 12-14), and Club 02® (ages 15-17) are available via the HUB App. Drop off times for children under 2 can also be viewed in the HUB App (fees apply).

We appreciate our guests' support of the following protocols which have been implemented with everyone's best interests in mind.

• There is no smoking in the casino unless you are seated and playing.
• Seats at gaming tables and slots are reserved for players only.
• The casino bar is open but is a no-smoking area.
• Smoking is not permitted in the casino when closed.
• Smoking is not allowed anywhere on board during refueling.

Please help us maintain a healthy onboard environment by using the hand-washing sinks and hand sanitizer dispensers at venue entrances and in high-traffic areas throughout the ship. We will also need guests to follow our guidance about the ways to stay healthy on board and when ashore, through daily programming, entertainment systems, announcements, in-stateroom literature, and the Carnival HUB App.

All guests will need to complete Online Check-In and select an Arrival Appointment. Online Check-In is available for Suite, Platinum and Diamond guests at 16 days prior to sailing; general access begins at 14 days prior to sailing. It is important that guests arrive on a timely basis as early arrivals cannot be accommodated and will be asked to return at their assigned time.
