Carnival Cruise Line has dropped plans to set up mobile Covid-19 testing sites at its terminals.

"While we had previously raised the possibility of more on-site testing at our terminals, the logistics of making this service widely available to a large number of guests does not make this a viable option," Carnival said in a statement on Thursday.

Since Sept. 13, Carnival has been complying with the CDC's recommendation to require vaccinated guests to submit a negative Covid-19 test taken within two days prior to the sailing date.
