Other than the crew wearing masks, and serving in the buffet, there really wasn’t any difference sailing pre and post COVID.  Masks were optional at all times. Royal had reminders posted everywhere about social distancing and elevator limits, hand washing, mask wear indoors etc.  Not so on Celebrity. 

Just got off 10 nite on the Constellation.  There were sanitizing stations every where and staff offering them at the enterance to the dining rooms. Masks were worn by all passengers indoors and staff was stationed in the halls to remind you if you forgot your mask.  Passengers would step aside and wait for the next elevator if 4 people were already in the elevator.  The theatre had approximately 100 people for the 7 pm show every night.  Lots of room to social distance.   The ship had 700 passengers so no lines no waiting and no crowds even at the Lido for lunch.  Felt totally safe at all times and I am in my mid 70's.   

I would guess your husband lkes the RCL family because Paul Gauguin is too expensive :)

Thanks for sharing your experience-but 6000 passengers is a tad high for me. We have done the Indenpence of the Seas it was ok except we did not like the lido buffet or the pool layout. We ended up going to the Solarium instead of outside at the pool.
