Carnival Cruise Line releases its more specific health protocols for departures out of Texas which begin in July with two cruise ships.
Carnival Cruise Line released its health protocols for cruises out of Texas which covers Carnival Vista and Carnival Breeze, both scheduled to begin sailings this July out of the Port of Galveston. The cruise line has already released more detailed protocols for cruises to Alaska.

We already know that guests will need to be fully vaccinated at least 14 days before departure, as announced by Carnival on June 7. The proof will need to be shown of full vaccination, including the second dose. How this impacts the recently signed vaccine passport bill remains to be seen.
Carnival’s Texas Health Protocols
Guests are being warned to be fully prepared before their voyage as they will be denied boarding if there is no proof of being fully vaccinated. There will be no refund. The CDC does still require masks on all forms of transportation, but the situation is fluid, so Carnival has not yet committed to those details just yet.

The CDC has been relaxing rules recently for vaccinated passengers, especially for cruise ships. The hope is that guests won’t need to wear a mask while onboard. However, this could be different when a ship is docked in port as the cruise line must follow local rules.
Even though Carnival is a very family-focused cruise line, taking the fully vaccinated route for these sailings allows guests to enjoy the cruise experience. If they took the alternative route, there would be more strict measures during the voyage, which would be difficult for families, including kids.
Just days ago, Carnival Cruise Line president Christine Duffy said “We appreciate the progress and support for our U.S. restart from the CDC and other key federal agencies; however, the current CDC requirements for cruising with a guest base that is unvaccinated will make it very difficult to deliver the experience our guests expect, especially given the large number of families with younger children who sail with us. As a result, our alternative is to operate our ships from the U.S. during the month of July with vaccinated guests,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.”

It is important to know that the health protocols are only for the cruises during July with Carnival Vista which begins sailing from July 3 and Carnival Breeze which begins operations on July 15, 2021.
The cruise line is currently working on its protocols for Carnival Horizon out of PortMiami. For Carnival Miracle out of Seattle, more specific health protocols have already been released.
MSC cruise to Bahamas requires fully vaccinated 14 days prior to sail date AND negative covid test taken no more that 2 days prior to sail date.
When is your cruise? Coming up, soon, right?
I know you’ve been looking forward to, and posting about it, all year.
Looking forward to seeing those pics you’ve promised, posted
Coronavirus tests increase the risk of meningitis.
Another horrid side effect of that *test*.
Next week baby! That is if we both test negative for covid, and because of the stupid Bahama stop for cruise itinerary, MSC cruises is requiring all passengers to be fully vaxxed and test negative PCR test no earlier than 48 hours before sailing. I am not sure we can even get the results that fast. Such hassles! I bet the ship will be half empty but that is OK and at least no passengers will be on board already infected with covid.
How? Just by swabbing in the nose with a new swab?

The risk is extremely low. It looks like ít can happen if the person taking the test makes a mistake. You probably can disregard my post.
Yay!!!
Well, you’ve both been ‘vax’d, so there should be NO problem testing negative 😉
And....that ship will NOT be half empty.....I recall you saying it would be full with MANY other ‘vax’d pax.
Bon voyage, baby!
From your link....
...The l’Académie nationale de médecine, comprised of 400 French and foreign doctors and medical experts, said in a statement yesterday (April 8) that nasal tests can result in serious injury caused by “breaches of the frontal skull bones”.
This is in addition to more common side effects, which are unpleasant but benign, such as pain or slight bleeding.
The health academy said it was important to raise awareness of the risks as nasal swab testing has become the primary method of testing for Covid-19.
~~snip~~ (no pun intended)
The statement referenced a Spanish medical study from January 2021, which examined a case in which a nasal swab test caused a rupture in the barriers between the nasal cavity and sinuses.
This resulted in a fluid leak in the brain, which led to the patient developing meningitis.

😱
Well, that sounds unpleasant! 😬
All for a test that was not designed to be used for diagnosis, which can’t distinguish between the flu and COVID, and has a 90% false positive rate.
