HxFx Posted December 17, 2020 #177 Share Posted December 17, 2020 My April cruise was cancelled in March. I've held out making a decision regarding refund vs. credit with OBC. After reading in this thread that a crew member thinks we will be required to wear a mask for 12 months after cruising resumes, I went ahead and requested the refund. Vacations are supposed to be relaxing. Wearing something I hate and worrying about mask patrols if it slips below my nose or I take too long returning my mask after taking a sip of my drink is a no-go for me. I took 4 trips down to Florida this year in lieu of going to the Caribbean. I'll continue to do this until restrictions are relaxed. I'm willing to wear the mask during embarkation and debarkation but that's it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't try to hide without a mask (fully visible) under the blanked. The big brother is watching you!.. The Big Brother, Rex Ryan will wear a mask while watching everyone.

I have nothing against Chris. I have never met him and probably never will and I am sure he is sound but why is a crew member on this forum? I thought this forum was for the passengers of cruising not the crew members?. After all I don't think they allow travel agents to post here do they? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all I don't think they allow travel agents to post here do they? I don't know the protocols but do appreciate crew insight so would welcome them here. I was already leaning toward refund these last few weeks since many are saying we would still be required to wear masks following a vaccine. What Chris said makes sense. I think cruise protocols will go beyond other activities due to the high scrutiny they get. I'll just wait for it to get back to pre-COVID. If that never happens I guess I'll just stick with land vacations. Recreational cruising was pretty new for me and I was looking forward to trying more lines/activities/itineraries but I love land vacations too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally, we are switching to something more pleasurable topic (NFL) than "masqueraded" cruises. I'm picturing a cruise like below (for thousands $$ spent on presumable pleasures... the judgment day has finally arrived). Anyone, does it feel as something to look forward to?

Goodtime Cruizin Posted December 17, 2020 #182 Share Posted December 17, 2020 There are three couples scheduled for a cruise this July out of Amsterdam. We all are about to cancel and move to 2022 due to the requirements of masks & ship only excursions. For that kind of money, we'll wait it out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to become a "no mask, no service" kind of world for a while, and everyone has to make their own decision about it. I would expect nothing less from CA. Luckily, in Florida, we still have our civil liberties. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROYAL CARIBBEAN DUDE Posted December 18, 2020 Author #194 Share Posted December 18, 2020 At first, I thought the idea of wearing a mask around the pool deck seemed a bit strange - but after seeing how guests have responded to wearing masks outdoors at Disney World, it doesn't seem that bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really isn't that bad once you become accustomed to it. Keeps everyone safe until the vaccine is widely populated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molly361 Posted December 20, 2020 #197 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) It's created a whole new industry.(mask manufacturing) I can't believe that people are paying $10+ for masks. New fashion statement. Pretty sad IMHO😇 Edited December 20, 2020 by molly361 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know she thought she was a fashion plate but all I thought was cheap and tacky. She was also wearing it incorrectly with her nose being exposed. Totally ghetto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
