If you are travelling on the Dream and are lucky enough to get Leydi as your room Steward (we were on deck 7), she is absolutely wonderful. She treated us like family and made sure our every need was met. She asked us on day 1 what would make my daughter, a person with autism, more comfortable and secure and made things happen (and never made a big deal about the small accidents that come along with being an autistic person with complex medical needs). She also didn't mind that Tori is a touchy, huggy girl by nature and sees everyone, and I mean everyone, as her absolute best friend.

To Leydi!

PS - The towel animals were beautiful!

We have been out on vacation since 8/27 on the beautiful Carnival Dream.

Here's why we love Carnival. From today's tshirt sales for St. Jude hospital, which happened on every ship across the world today, Carnival will donate $25 M to St. Jude Children's Hospital.

The Byrne Children deal with significant health issues every day. We know what it's like for families dealing with the day to day of hospitals, treatments, doctors, living in RMH or hotels or other as they take care of their kiddos' needs.

Join us in giving to St. Jude or your local children's hospital and make the lives of these children and families just a little easier.

God bless!

Important changes for COVID-19 vaccination and testing requirements on Carnival Cruise Lines:

arnival is pleased to announce new guidelines effective for cruises departing on September 6, 2022 or later, which will make it easier for more guests to sail with simplified vaccination and testing guidelines, including no testing for vaccinated guests on sailings less than 16 nights, and eliminating the exemption request process for unvaccinated guests, who will only need to show a negative test result at embarkation.
The new guidelines include:
• Vaccinated guests must continue to provide evidence of their vaccination status prior to embarkation. Pre-cruise testing is no longer required, except for cruises to Canada, Bermuda, Greece and Australia (per local guidelines), and on voyages 16 nights or longer.
• Unvaccinated guests are welcome to sail and are no longer required to apply for a vaccine exemption, except for cruises in Australia or on voyages 16 nights and longer.
• Unvaccinated guests or those who do not provide proof of vaccination must present the results of a negative PCR or antigen test taken within three days of embarkation.
• Guests under the age of five years are exempt from vaccination and testing requirements from the United States and under the age of 12 from Australia.
• All policies are subject to local destination regulations.
• Voyages 16 nights and longer will continue to have vaccination and testing requirements that are specific to the itinerary.
For guests who have a pending vaccine exemption application and are awaiting confirmation for cruises departing September 6, 2022 or later, the booking is confirmed unless booked on a sailing that calls on Canada, Bermuda, Australia or if the voyage is 16 nights or longer.
