Group face masks sound fun, but can you wear them in the dining room on elegant night? LOL

Let’s hope that they are for interaction points like embark and debark only.

I don't see how face masks would be effective.   People are always eating or drinking.   Think about it, you're sitting in the MDR and you lift your mask for every bite or sip.  Yeah, I don't think so.

Maybe if you add some rhinestones. 😉

Maybe they’ll come out with one that has a feeding slot. I’d recommend Velcro. I wouldn’t want a zipper there.

or a hole for the straw you can't use 😁

Maybe this would bring the straws back. You need a smaller hole for the straw than you would your mouth.

If our December cruise isn’t canceled and it is safe to cruise then I think we are going to have some made for our group that is going. Even if it is just to wear for pictures!

I am making a mask that clips on your nose and flips up like sunglasses when you want a bite to eat.

We are on an October cruise. This could be a new lido masquerade party.

Ordinarily Carnival does not allow face masks on Halloween.  I wonder how they are going to get around requiring people wearing faces masks.  I seriously doubt they will.

No thanks on face masks.  No problem with others wearing them though.

They very well may, at embarkation and possibly muster.  Airlines are doing it starting today.

I guess that's a possibility.  But in reality,  when you remove the mask, any benefit is wiped out as you start to mingle.  Wearing a mask on a plane is different because it is a limited amount of time.  Again, when you remove it to eat your peanuts or to sip on your drink, you completely  negate the effects of wearing a mask in the first place. I dont have the answers and I dont have a crystal ball.  It just seems to me that a lot of this is just to make us feel safe.   I've been doing a lot of reading on the subject and it seems that most face masks give very little to no protection.  Again, I dont have the answers, I just do me.

Do you know why they don't allow masks on Halloween? Is it a safety issue because some masks could obstruct a person's view? Just curious.

Not sure, all of the above? Maybe for identity purposes?

Again, masks do not protect you, they protect others from you.

I'm not going to give recommendations to people on social media.  I do challenge everyone to do their own serious research from reputable sources and do what they feel comfortable doing. I will say I find it funny to see people driving in cars by themselves with masks on.  But again,  do what makes you feel safe.
