Ship tip

Won’t be doing a carnival cruise anytime soon. The hidden charge on the covid testing was bogus. I did the testing prior like asked to them I get charged to get tested again?

If you read the information you agreed with to get your boarding pass, you would have known. If you just agreed without reading it, it’s on you. Sorry this cruise didn’t meet your expectations.

Nothing is hidden. It's all in print. Do your research. All the cruise lines allowing kids are doing the same thing

I agree with all. No hidden fees if you read or even asked someone from the cruiseline plus all the reviews from everyone who have gone with unvaccinated kids

Have to disagree with you. Everything is spelled out for you numerous of times in emails.

What hidden charge for Covid testing? Unless you are traveling with someone who is unvaccinated, there is no additional charge. If you are traveling with someone, the charge is listed on their website and in documents sent to everyone. This is directly from the Carnival website - “All unvaccinated guests will be assessed a US$150 per person charge on the guest’s onboard Sail & Sign account to cover the cost of testing, reporting and health & safety screenings.”
