Hi, I’m currently on the Royal Princess doing San Francisco - Hawaii (Dec 22, 2022 - Jan 6, 2023). My last cruise was in the very pre-Covid times of 2018. I’ve noticed things have changed, starting with the non-existent muster drill. It was good you have to proactively go to the muster station to tag in, but pretending to watch a safety video in the cabin was not the same as commiserating through 15 minutes of drudgery in the Princess Theater.
I’m wondering how disembarkation is done in post-Covid (haha, not really) 2022/2023. Do we still gather in Princess Theater with carryon for our disembarkation turn, or do we wait in our cabins now? It’s just detail, but it’s killing me not knowing what to expect.
It’s day 11 today. I’m pretty sure I’m not imagining that I’m hearing more passengers coughing now than on embarkation day. I’ve overheard as much while checking in for dinner at Allegro someone casually small talking, “My roommate has Covid, it’s just me tonight.” It’s good to know most everyone gets it light these days, but it’s definitely going around on this ship. My masking does not seem to offend non-maskers so I’m good.
