Dancing and masks

[CruiseHealing]

For those that have cruised the last month or two: do you have to wear masks when dancing?
 

[BlerkOne]

Even the crew dancing in the MDR wears masks. No big deal.

[Prismism]

I didn't.

In the past two months I have been on both the Sunrise and the Horizon, and on both ships, they require masks to be worn when dancing.  Most venues even have a sign at the top edge of the dance floor with that message.

 

The level of actual enforcement has varied.

[Guest BasicSailor]

Problem, no mask enforcement is taking place , requested yes.

On both Mardi Gras and Panorama I did not see many people wearing masks dancing at the outdoor sail away party or the night time deck parties.  The fun squad was but not guests.  We did not go to the indoor dance clubs so no experience there.

In the Havana Bar on Panorama it was announced that masks were mandatory while on the dance floor. Previously highly recommend to mandatory.

No masks outside, but inside they are required. If you are not wearing your mask indoors, it is just breaking the rules.

On the Magic sailing Sept 23, there were signs by all the dance floors advising masks were required when dancing.

Were people following the rules...not really, about 50%

Was the staff enforcing the rules...not at all.

The rules are not masks everywhere indoors. Maybe on the dance floor but there are many indoor areas that are not required.

EXACTLY. For instance, on the Panorama we played lots of trivia at Ocean Plaza (I think that's what that area is called) near the coffee bar. No masks required while playing trivia. Masks required if a tie-breaker and one is called to the dance floor area near the host. No masks required while walking around the ship. 

 

In the evening this place is used as a music venue. There was NO sign at the beginning of the cruise, then halfway through the cruise a sign appeared noting that masks are mandatory on the dance floor. Most dancers did NOT wear a mask and no one appeared to attempt enforcement. There were never enough dancers at one time that social distancing was not doable.

From the website: 

 

Masks are required: 

• In elevators
• In designated indoor entertainment venues (I would assume anywhere that would require close contact, like the nightclub)
• In all retail shops
• In the casino
• At any indoor activity with children under 12
• Prior to being seated in the MDR and Lido Buffet
• Anywhere else where signs are posted
• During embarkation and debarkation
• During Carnival shore excursions
• While using any transportation, including water shuttles

All other location it is encouraged, not required.

On Magic 9/23 they had signs in the lobby, Ocean Plaza, and nightclub stating that masks were required while dancing. They were largely ignored and I saw zero attempt at enforcement. 

 

I will say that the dance floors seemed to be the only areas with consistent lack of compliance/enforcement with regard to the mask requirements.
