We cruise Jan 17th on Navigator and have no problem following policy whatever it is by then. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you get a refund versus an FCC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafig Posted December 17, 2021 #28 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I did a quick search on the other cruiseline boards. Celebrity, not yet. NCL has instituted this (and their clients are not happy). Have not seen any mention on the Carnival brands....HAL, Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I want to go on our 9-day New Year's Eve cruise, having to wear masks indoors even if in vaccinated venues. Looks like a lot of 'actively eating and drinking' to me...until the fear fades yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrapps Posted December 17, 2021 #33 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I am curious if this temporarily means no smoking in the casino? I can't stand the smoke, but how can you smoke and wear a mask at the same time? If they make casinos non-smoking due to this, that would be awesome. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be on Odyssey and its fully enclosed. I'm not going to be a huge fan of sitting in the solarium and pools in the solarium with a mask. That is a great question (solarium: indoor or outdoor)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erinsmom03 Posted December 17, 2021 #38 Share Posted December 17, 2021 We sail on January 3rd. Reflex reaction by my husband was annoyance. But I honestly didn't expect to spend much time in vaccinated only indoor venues anyway, so I really don't care one way or the other. Can not wait to cruise again! And maybe with other people who care cancelling, we will have a less crowded ship 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruiselvr04 Posted December 17, 2021 #40 Share Posted December 17, 2021 The only place I can see it bothering me is the solarium. Glad I have a big balcony. Hey if you all cancel maybe we can upgrade.... We wore our masks almost always in vaccinated places in November so this doesn't bother us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one thing rcl had over carnival. I'm onboard now and people are mostly ignoring the 5 to a elevator. Sometimes but not always. We all just joke we are the same group. Sign says 5 or same group. I'll see fewer shows if I have to keep a mask on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows if they will actually enforce it. There was definitely lack of enforcement last week on Anthem. It doesn't matter if they enforce it or not. If the rule is in place it creates a level of stress not knowing what the situation will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeputyDawg46 Posted December 17, 2021 #50 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I see people who try to get on a elevator maskless and the elevator isn't moving as someone holds the door until the person puts on a mask or exits. It's really an integrity issue. You said (signed a document) you'd wear a mask according to RCI rules. Wear it or don't cruise. Your option. The guy holding the door said a nice maskless photo of you, the maskless person, on social media where maybe your boss can see you have a integrity issue may be in order. Cruising is dependent on a safe environment based on the adherence of all passengers. 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
