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. We aren't diamond yet, and don't spend much time in the casino. I think I can handle the shows. I really want to just sit on my balcony, listen to the ocean and relax! No mask needed there 🙃 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbeyg Posted December 17, 2021 #57 Share Posted December 17, 2021 We would have seriously had to re-evaluate whether or not to cruise if this had been implemented the week we sailed. I’m sorry this has happened to those of you who are having to reconsider. It is time for the CDC to release their stranglehold on cruise lines. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherriZ366 Posted December 17, 2021 #58 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Does this new protocol cover the casino? Do you have to wear your mask while waiting for a drink? Or waiting between courses in a restaurant? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're going to need to supply a stack of wet washcloths so you can wash your lips between bites. A napkin just doesn't get that clean feeling before replacing your mask. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annefran Posted December 17, 2021 #66 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I’m OK with this new rule, I want to cruise. It makes me feel safe and for others around me. You agree to these rules when you sign your cruise ticket. Don’t want to abide by the rules, stay home, simple. Merry Christmas and Happy New year all, stay safe. 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree -- want to cruise and want to see the ships stay safe. We don't need to give the media something to hype like they did with the Diamond Princess in March 2020. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cancelled ours 2 weeks ago because they had changed testing protocols twice and cancelled 2 of our favorite ports of call out of the itinerary. The call was fast (mind you, about 20 minutes, which considering how long I've been on hold with Royal before seems super fast). The agent was super helpful and set the refund up. He said it can take up to 30-40 days and might not be all at once and split in different amounts. Just today we received the first one which was probably the tax and port fees, but still waiting on a bunch of $$$ to hit our CCs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprising....perhaps RC will get the message....hard core cruisers will 'do anything' to get on a ship; general public say hmmm - 50 other options, 50 better options, refund cruise please. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare natefish95 Posted December 18, 2021 #75 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I'm honestly really annoyed by all the constant flip flopping and ever-changing requirements. If people get the rona on a cruise, I really don't care. I'm vaxxed and boosted. I wish Royal would just mandate vaccines for everyone 5 and up with zero exceptions so that they don't have to worry about unvaccinated people, who almost certainly are contributing to most of the COVID found onboard ships. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
