Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be vaccinated or test for Covid-19 to board the NKOTB Cruise?

Current Carnival policies no longer require Covid 19 vaccination or proof of testing. Carnival reserves the right to change these policies at any time and all guests are expected to follow these policies as written at the time of sailing. All guests will be notified of any changes to Carnival’s health and safety policies. Please refer to our Health & Safety Page for the most up to date information.

What Health and safety protocols will be in place?

What happens if someone tests positive for Covid -19 while onboard?

In the event guests are in close contact with or exposed to any guest or crew member who tests positive for COVID-19, or display any symptoms for a COVID-like illness during the cruise, they and their close contacts will be required to undergo additional testing and may be required to quarantine in their stateroom until our medical team determines it is safe for them to resume their cruise activities.

If guests traveled by air to join their cruise and test positive at embarkation and are not able to cruise — or test positive during the cruise — they and their close contacts may be required to quarantine before traveling home.
