  • We're getting ready to sail aboard the Carnival Horizon on July 4th... can we navigate all these new protocols? Vaccinated, unvaccinated, COVID testing, masks, social distancing, youth programs... it's a lot to absorb! We dug through Carnival's website, John Heald's Facebook page, and a stack of emails to compile all the information we needed for our sailing... so we figured we would share, since it applies to a lot of upcoming July and August cruises aboard the Carnival Horizon, Carnival Vista, Carnival Breeze, Mardi Gras, Carnival Magic, Carnival Sunrise, Carnival Panorama, Carnival Miracle, and more!! :P

    Thanks for the update. It’s difficult to figure out the latest information with all the changes. I will also miss the full size Fun Times (I still have an old 2006 when they were called Carnival Capers). But thankful for the tear off version. I do like to highlight the events that interest me. I think ordering the chocolate strawberries is best as I would want them fresh. They have been waiting in the cabin when I’ve just eaten and I don’t eat them. So wasteful. So glad you will be checking out Horizon just before I cruise. Although cruising Horizon with you would have been better.☺️

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Changes have been popping in all over the place, ha ha... yes, we still have some old Carnival Capers from 2005... they shall be missed! That's a good point about the freshness of the strawberries, actually... we've had a few mushy plates because they delivered them in the morning and we stayed out of the cabin all day, ha ha...

    June 30th morning update from John Heald:
    -buffets, ice-cream & coffee will be self-serve with crew ensuring hand sanitization
    -casinos will be smoking on one side, non-smoking on the other
    -ship card purchases get cut off at some point until you complete muster
    -digital muster info will be on the stateroom TV, not your phone
    -casino bar was removed from Vista & Horizon, with new machines added

    • @swhitaker0311
      @swhitaker0311 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @cynthiagreene9013 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @irenecook8004
    @irenecook8004 3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Just to clarify; With the muster drill you can go whenever you want, as long as it is BEFORE the sail away time.

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Correct. From what I understand, you can go at your leisure just about as soon as you board the ship and watch the videos (which will apparently be on your cabin TV, not your phone), but as long as it's before a certain cut-off time, probably around 3:00pm. We shall see when we board the Carnival Horizon next week!! :D

    That’s a lot of new info to take onboard (pardon the pun) haha. 😂 But seems pretty straight forward with the great way you covered it off guys and just a couple more things to add to the check list or packing list. If cruising down under here between New Zealand and Australia required all these new protocols to start up again, a lot of us would say heck yeah! Let’s bring it on 😊. But at this stage we have no firm idea when cruising with resume. Enjoy your cruise. I’m so jealous but will be watching your vlogs with anticipated excitement 🚢🥳 stay safe

    “Bubble Tours” are a real deal breaker for my family. I get that cruises are especially worried and really want to avoid an outbreak. However, your Mexico blogs have shown me that it’s possible for resorts to be both safe and accommodating. Free testing and free quarantine guarantee give me the peace of mind to travel. I’m looking forward to cruising again, but I’m going to wait until cruise lines are less strict. Thanks for the great info!

It’s just easier to get vaccinated and cruise. I would be terrified to sail as an unvaccinated passenger 🥺 But like you stated, people can choose to NOT be vaccinated. Great information and thanks for sharing 😊

    And secondly, have you heard anything regarding what capacity carnival will be sailing with? I cannot find any info… My family is booked on the 8/21 sailing on the Horizon.
    Thank you again for your very informative video! Bob Voyage! 😊 🛳

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That was from John Heald's Facebook post. We haven't seen any clarification on that, so we might venture into the casino on our 7/4 Horizon loop and see. Normally a "free play" means what... like if you bet $25, they'll give you $25 to match, I think? Sounds like it would be available to everyone, with that wording. Last check, I believe Carnival was selling to 50%, but John said he would be releasing the actual numbers just ahead of our sailing!! :D

  • @heathahlee
    @heathahlee 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    One thing I’ve been listening for (and I’m confused about) is whether or not vaccinated passengers have to test before getting back on the ship after a non-bubble excursion. I heard about the non-vaccinated passengers from the Adventure of the Seas that tested positive after Freeport and were sent home. Not sure what the protocols for Carnival will be with all the testing. Any insight?

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The only official information is that no testing is required at all for vaccinated passengers at any point, unless they show signs of sickness. At that point, the cruise line would pop an antigen test. They also haven't said anything about unvaccinated being tested other than prior to cruise, at embark, and at debark, again unless they show symptoms. So there isn't anything official that we've seen specifically related to testing and tours, nope! Time shall tell, I suppose!!

    Three questions I have is if you have a Carnival transfer from the airport to the cruise port, how do you pick a time to register & if you get there early on the transfer bus what will they have you do? Also, if you are there early is there another part of the port you can wait in so you're not just standing in the parking lot?

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Judging by how things went on our cruise two weeks ago, granted that was Royal, but they didn't start the shuttle service until the first check-in slot was open... so if you had an 8am arriving flight, you would most likely wait at the airport until the shuttle buses started running around 10am. I assume they're also hoping that people choose an arrival slot that's appropriate for them... if your flight arrives at noon, you wouldn't select a 10:30am slot... you'd choose 12:30pm or somewhere in that zone, so that the timing lined up. But on the off chance that you choose poorly and arrive at the port way early, I'm sure they'd have some sort of zone to accommodate folks until your time slot came up!!

      @parodeejay  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      As far as I know, it's just the antigen tests for now. If it's like our travels to Mexico, the resorts were only covering antigen tests and the guests had to pay for the PCR versions. Curious to see what the cruise lines do, but I'd possibly expect a similar model!!

      From what we've heard, room service would be unchanged. Free during the day and pay in the evenings.
