Please read people before you call yourself trying to go on a cruise that you cannot even get on. Carnival is asking their guests to go get a Covid Test done before boarding the ship or be be vaccinated. But you can still be vaccinated and you still need a covid test done within 48 hours. But just like any other company they changed their rules on a daily basis and we did not know that things had changed. We flew from New Orleans to Miami and I made all eight of us take a PCR test not a rapid test a PCR test that Wednesday evening before we flew out Thursday. We didn't get on the boat until Saturday morning so that was more than enough time that was needed. But the website said 72 hours for vaccinated guess and then they switched it to 48 hours. If you're unvaccinated you have now 72 hours to go and take a COVID-19 test to get on the boat. Which is definitely backwards to me. If your test results have not came back in time you have the option to pay for a covid test on site which is $100 bucks. But some people were definitely trying to get on the boat and they just got their Covid Test done hours before trying to step on the ship. So please read all fine print. Please get your test done on time. If if you were handicapped it was very easy to get on the ship by showing your covid vaccination card your ID and your test results they barely even looked at it but my friends in the regular Lane had problems with they're negative test results saying that they should have taken them Thursday instead of Wednesday. But due to them switching it at the last minute my friends were able to take a free covet test because of carnivals era. Do not let them make you pay for that extra test that is money you can spend on the boat and just try to stay calm I can tell you now I was not about to let my friends pay $600.
