Carnival Loosens Port Restrictions

Carnival Cruise Line has loosened its port restrictions for unvaccinated guests.

Previously, unvaccinated guests 12 and older who were sailing with an exemption from Carnival could only go ashore if they were on an excursion through the cruise line. Now, they can go ashore on their own without restrictions, except in select ports.

In San Juan, Bonaire, Grand Cayman, St. Kitts, and Tortola, unvaccinated guests 12 and older must stay on the ship. In Grand Turk, 16 and older must stay onboard, and in Cartagena, 18 and older has to remain on the ship.

Vaccine exemptions are only granted once a cruise is paid in full, and they’re not guaranteed.
