famof4togo Posted February 7, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I think I made the assumption that while actually singing karaoke it would be mask free...but I just read a review that stated the singers had to wear masks during Karaoke....is this correct? If so, what about singers on board at say Alchemy or the Atrium...are they masked as well? I just can't imagine signing Karaoke with a mask on.

cathyz Posted February 7, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 7, 2022 We were on the Miracle last week and went to 2 karaokes with 2 different moderators, one said no masks required while actually singing and the other required masks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfaaa Posted February 7, 2022 #3 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Why would you be sharing a karaoke mic with everyone either lip licking or spitting droplets in it? This is just nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellfree Posted February 7, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Just off Freedom - karaoke - singers had to wear masks (on Pride in November they had roped off the area where singers stood and they did not wear masks to:sing) other venues such as Atrium and Red Frog Pub - performers did not wear masks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not personally a Karaoke singer but I assumed they practiced the same sanitary guidelines that have been followed for the last 20+ years of Karaoke...sharing a mic can't be new since Covid. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfaaa Posted February 7, 2022 #6 Share Posted February 7, 2022 As far as I know, the mic is just being passed from singer to singer without any sanitization protocol. We are now living in COVID world, not back in 2019 when no one cared about virus transmission through sharing a common device like karaoke mic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ninjacat123 Posted February 7, 2022 #7 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I don't lick the karaoke mike while I'm singing so if I wash my hands or use hand sanitizer after singing I should be good, correct? 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted February 8, 2022 #10 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I guess there is an upside to this mask thing. 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BlerkOne Posted February 8, 2022 #12 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Having heard (just passing by) some horrible singers on recent cruises, masks would be a definite improvement. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keels81 Posted February 8, 2022 #13 Share Posted February 8, 2022 On Valor last month, we had to wear masks to sing and the mic was wiped down between every singer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momof3cruisers Posted February 8, 2022 #15 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I was on Freedom in Oct. Participants didn’t wear a mask, there was a six ft space between them and others and when you went up to take your turn, you got a sanitizing wipe and wiped down the microphone. As soon as you finished, mask back on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ledges1 Posted February 8, 2022 #16 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Mask were required on the Valor last week. I do not know if they sanitized the microphone. I did not stay for the end of the song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted February 8, 2022 #17 Share Posted February 8, 2022 My understanding is that for Karaoke, currently singers are required to wear masks. For the ship entertainers, apparently they each have their own microphone, so masking isn't required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye_Siggy Posted February 8, 2022 #18 Share Posted February 8, 2022 On the Miracle in September - karaoke was done in Red Frog. No masks required and multiple singers were allowed. On Legend in January - masks required and no duets. One singer, One microphone per song. They basically had two microphones being alternated. With one being wiped down and cleaned while the other was being used for a performance. Then repeated over and over. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emoorehead Posted February 8, 2022 #19 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Just off the Sunshine a couple of days ago. Karaoke singers were required to wear masks while singing. It was written in the event description in the Fun Times on the hub app. I do not know if they wiped the mic between singers as I did not go to karaoke. Performers at the piano bar and other areas of the ship were not masked, but their performance areas were roped off to maintain 6 feet of distance between them and the guests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
