All of the crew on our 6 March Breakaway cruise were wearing masks. Very few passengers were and the number of passengers wearing masks decreased daily.

Rare BirdTravels Posted March 23, 2022 #3 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Not NCL, but we were on a Royal cruise last week and there were still passengers wearing masks. Along with the crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suometar Posted March 23, 2022 #4 Share Posted March 23, 2022 All the crew on our March 13 Getaway cruise were wearing masks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolatravelgirl Posted March 24, 2022 #5 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Breakaway March 13-19th crew were all wearing masks. It made it hard to sometimes hear the bartenders and waiters as they all sounded muffled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply kept repeating "I can't hear you" until they removed the masks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JGmf Posted March 24, 2022 #7 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Crew were still wearing masks OUTSIDE at Great Stirrup Cay. Even the staffer (lifeguard? security?) rowing around in a kayak, alone on the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicMike Posted March 26, 2022 #8 Share Posted March 26, 2022 All crew on the Encore on March 13th out of Miami were masked. Very, very few passengers wore masks. I felt for the crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a huge proponent of masking when it was truly necessary for those of us with normal immune systems (before vaccines). Now this is the silliest thing I ever heard......someone wearing a mask while "rowing around in a kayak, alone on the water". Who does that?????? If it is a protocol by the cruise line, then someone does not have their thinking cap on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a case of that is the rule without any consideration of the purpose of the rule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like they might be if crew feel the need to take it that seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mearsfansinboise Posted March 26, 2022 #12 Share Posted March 26, 2022 On the Bliss right this second, the crew has worn masks the entire time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesea777 Posted March 30, 2022 #13 Share Posted March 30, 2022 We (party of 4) were on the Joy last week. Just as well all crew were wearing masks the entire time ... 3 people in party (including me) tested positive a couple of days after our return home when we started feeling crappy. Thanks heavens we tested negative for the flight home to Bermuda! Source? Maybe the Social Club - it was a greatly popular venue and a lot of people went each evening. In all, we all 4 had a great time on the Joy, food, bar, service, entertainment, etc were top-notch, and the ship was lovely with the prettiest chandelier we've ever seen out of all 6 BA/+ class ships and Epic. The crew still need to wear masks to protect themselves from the passengers, unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One in party tested on Sunday (negative), Monday (negative), and when he tested on Tuesday after feeling crappy - positive and contacted the rest of the party. So we tested on Tuesday and 2 tested positive. Sigh ..... The 4th one is feeling okay - not crappy. But he will test in a couple of days' time just in case.

hallux Posted March 30, 2022 #16 Share Posted March 30, 2022 @bluesea777 it came up negative. Of course, it's a self-administered rapid antigen test, might just be post-cruise 'crud' as a result of coming home to ugly late-winter weather in New York...

We also took self administered rapid antigen tests. Give it a couple more days or 3. Headaches, lots of sneezing, runny nose, slight fever/chills. Also some joint pains, like arthritic knee flaring up, and sore backs. Edited March 30, 2022 by bluesea777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, they do not want another period of unemployment and the industry itself cannot sustain another repeat of March 2020. Hoping for the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was feeling crappy about 5 days after my February Escape cruise (followed by a day at Disney). Tested negative twice and I chalked it up to post cruise and/or plane crud as well. Or allergies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesea777 Posted April 1, 2022 #20 Share Posted April 1, 2022 @hallux How are you feeling today? If you’re still feeling crappy, may I suggest you take another test? #4 in our party tested +ve today after starting to feel crappy 2 days ago. I am feeling better but still +ve.
