I assume you are flying into Orlando. Take a look at the cost of renting a car and dropping it off in Canaveral. The car rental companies have shuttles in Canaveral between their locations and the port. For hotels, I've stayed at multiple Hilton properties in Canaveral and Cocoa. The Homewood Suites is where I usually stay, there is a brewery a very short walk from it thats good enough to spend a couple hours at if you want cheaper drinks than you can get at their pool bar.

If Carnival stops all covid testing and only sails to ports that are open their stocks would soar and their ships would be full again.  Biden said the pandemic is over. Your call.

Well, you asked for my call.

I call you uninformed. Stocks will not soar. Changing covid protocols don't affect their massive debt load.

In 2019 Hurricane Dorian nearly cancelled a cruise I had booked. It was shortened and delayed from a 4 day to a 2 day, and had the option to cancel with full refund. That's what I did, and rebooked it for a few weeks later. Luckily I had that flexibility. If you book a Caribbean cruise during hurricane season, you need to be willing to either have that kind of flexibility, or accept that your vacation may end up cancelled. I'm sure you will not be cancelled, as that generally only happens when a storm is bearing down on a ship's home port. But these things happen. Avoid summer/early fall if you don't like the possibility of hurricanes disrupting your plans.

So, yes, we do think it was time for this.  We also agree with other commenters that it should be earlier; midnight or 11pm. 

It should be earlier than that. All parties with children should be required to have early seating dinner. Once dinner is over, children must be in their cabin within an hour.

It depends on the sailing. Often times it is on more than just one night. If you book it, you will find out when yours is being held once on board.

I can't remember with certainty, but I think you are able to check in at midnight of the time zone of the port of departure. Either that, or midnight of eastern time. In either case, for you, yes it would be 11pm.

If you don't know the 1000s of different opinions on it, you obviously have been living off the internet and away from society for the last couple of years. Welcome back!

Being unvaxed is not a protected class. Crying about discrimination does nothing but make you sound like a petulant child. Sad.

Plenty of cruise lines are changing policies, quite often, in fact. Check out a cruise line's website to get the latest, it's that e-z!

Strange, after testing positive, the cruise line isolates you to attempt to keep spread under control? Who would've guessed!

Hope you feel better soon, unfortunate that your vacation was interrupted.

The cruise line will refund you whatever you are entitled to. While you may not have read it, you agree to a contract that does spell out cancellation penalties when you booked. Contracts matter, the cruise line is just following the contract you agreed to with them. Your magic sky voyeur that watches you pee doesn't care about your money that is currently tied up with the cruise line.

You may need to call customer service. If you call now, you may reach them before your cruise!

Ok, consider it moved! Please remit payment to Carnival Cruise LIne for infrastructure installation, and secure all necessary permits as well.

The next fifth Tuesday of the fourth month of a year divisible by 73. That's my guess.

If you have an item available to fill out on the Carnival website, it's fine to fill out as soon as it shows up. You will get more health forms as you near the cruise. Any time you get an email about needing to do something from Carnival, log in and check "My To-Do List." If it's too early to fill out, Carnival won't have it show up for you.

Best of luck. The cruise line has the right to replace ports at any time they so choose. It says so in the contract you agreed to when you booked. Contracts matter!

Is it mandatory to get tested even if you have had all vaccines?

Hi, you must be new here! Well, clearly you are. Maybe that means you can not read anything posted before you joined?

Conveniently, I have, along with maryred right above you, provide you with a link to all the answers regarding Carnival's current COVID protocols! Have a wonderful, enlightening day!

Mostly correct. Twice, once between 72 and 24 hours prior to sailing, and again immediately before boarding. The 3rd test would be on the final day of the cruise, not after the cruise.

This is bullshit as every ship at sea has covid positive passengers - which reiterates vaccinated people contract and spread this virus even though they have been "protected" with this so-called vaccine. Nothing but discrimination. 

Imagine the bullshit that would be going on if a large portion of passengers were not vaccinated. Then you'd have the positive cases explode, and it wouldn't be asymptomatic, or mild symptoms, but severe cases and death like March 2020 on ships. Sad.

Get a vaccine. You have plenty of time before October, then you don't have to concern yourself with this. Grow up and be responsible.

Maybe, probably not though. Figure at minimum 30 minutes travel from the port to the airport. If you get off the ship right away, carrying off your own bags, you could possibly make it. I wouldn't try though, try to change to a flight that leaves after 11am.

This kind of question should be directed to Carnival.1.800.764.7419

No, it's just a higher price. Your allowed to speak aloud if you wish, though.

As I said,you may bring one bottle of wine per adult in a carry on bag. That means you carry it on the ship. You do not give the bag to a porter. Carry on only. Carry it on.

It varies by cruise line. However, with Carnival, you may bring one bottle of wine per adult in a carry on bag.
