CD Mike on his daily TV morning show stated mask are required on the pier and in stores.  Proof of vax should be brought when leaving the ship in case it is asked for in Nassau.  Unvax (kids) must take a ship excursion to leave the ship.  

I find that interesting.When we were here last week on Freedom we were told at the end of the pier that we were to wear masks  at all times unless actively drinking or eating outside. Guess we will see if that has changed when we get off today.

What is this fascination that Nassau and Puerto Rico have with masks on the pier?🙄

Don’t get me started.  I had to rewrite my post before posting.   I have some thoughts and opinions but I decided just to report what is stated and experienced.  I’m biting my tongue.   😎

Please post your experience. I will be there in a few weeks. It gets hot in Old San Juan in the afternoon!

That was the same my experience in Nassau, I pulled my mask off immediately upon exiting the ship.  Shops have varying degrees of mask wearing compliance.

Thanks. I actually meant to say Nassau in my post as I will be there, too. I'm interest in what is happening at both ports.

@twangster I was going to wait till the end, but my next few days will be busy.   Thanks for one of the best live reviews/post in a long time.  Perhaps I could have said best ever, but after 2 years of not cruising I'm finding my memory is fading, and as  you said, "As I recall"    My recollection is fading !  Some photos may seem obscure to some people, but having spent a small 28 days on this class of ship, I was able to get something out of every pic/.post.

 

THANKS!

Does that hallway appear to be narrower than other Oasis class ships?

We briefly went off in Nassau. I never wore my mask  leaving the ship to all the way to the end of the pier and out in the streets.Not one person from RCL,pier security, and Nassau police said one word to me about not wearing a mask.I did have to wear it going into shops.

Thanks. That is how Nassau was when I was there in January.

Deck 6 has been the Covid deck for a while, I think.

What's a Covid deck?  Where they test you before you get off the ship?

Covid quarantine. When we were on Odyssey in January, some people in our group got moved from their deck 6 cabin to deck 8, with $100 OBC for the inconvenience.  They were told that their cabins were needed for possible Covid quarantines.     Wonder did the same thing, as there was someone who was moved from her deck 6 cabin.  Hopefully they weren't used.

Yum! That B.E.L.T. from JR is always my favorite breakfast! Very happy it was added to the menu!

 

BTW, it looks like Playmaker's on the Wonder is a great location! On the Odyssey, you can only access Playmaker's by stairs and "there is no restroom up there!" Not a good thing for us old farts who like their beer!!😲 I also am the main sports fan between DH and I, especially during NFL season. They need to make changes to that venue IMO. Maybe it would help if those with higher status would complain.

Thank you for your expediency; much appreciated.

thanks I was wondering if you would do these.  I told the other fellow doing a live to not overlook the wonderful art in the stair wells.

[Oceansaway17]

wonderland looks like a pretty restaurant, but the menu just does not appeal to me.

and from what I can tell by the menu, Mason jar could be a hit or miss.

 

Hoping the best for hooked on seafood as well as Loco fresh mexican
