Carnival Cruise Line will continue to provide coronavirus testing at its homeports through the end of December. This was announced in a Facebook post by the cruise line’s brand ambassador John Heald. In the post, John refers to a video he posted earlier. If you would rather watch the video, which includes other Carnival Cruise news, please go here.
If you are sailing from Galveston, Baltimore, New Orleans or Long beach please schedule your test through DocGo.
If you are sailing from Miami, Port Canaveral or Tampa please schedule your test via Rapid Cruise Testing.
Please remember, these tests are for vaccinated passengers only.
Appointments must be made online and are non-refundable at the price of $100 per person.
Heald asked Carnival guests to use the homeport testing services only if they “exhausted all other ways to get tested such as tests by your local pharmacy, monitored home tests etc.”
“This will be more affordable plus most importantly it will give you peace of mind knowing you already have your negative result 48 hours before your fun starts,” Heald explained.
Any appointment made with the testing centers and not taken will not be refunded in December, according to him.
“The reason for this is that we had people not show up and then ask for a refund which in turn meant that people who wanted appointments could not get them. So, for December there will be no refunds made,” Heald explained.
