Rare HBCcruiser Posted April 27, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 27, 2022 We received the KN95s on our Grand Princess Hawaii cruise April 4 - 19, 2022. We could also get more at the Guest Services Desk as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ask at passenger services they will probably give you 2 kn95’s. Also some stewards have them, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccio Posted April 28, 2022 #11 Share Posted April 28, 2022 If N95 masks are important to you - like they were to us on our 2 cruises this year - bring your own supply! Princess will provide masks but there is no guarantee that they will be N95s and, given supply chain issues, the type of mask could easily change not only from ship to ship but also cruise to cruise. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think Princess has ever provided N95 masks. They have provided KN95 masks on some itineraries. An actual N95 mask will not ever have ear loops. They will only have the dual ties. KN95 masks will usually have ear loops but there are some variants that so have the dual ties as well. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reina del Mar Posted April 28, 2022 #15 Share Posted April 28, 2022 A pack of ordinary disposable masks was left for us in our cabin on embarkation. (Emerald, March 2022) with a card saying to ask steward or at Guest Services for replacements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare nbsjcruiser Posted April 28, 2022 #18 Share Posted April 28, 2022 We brought our own N95's in the fall when they were still relatively difficult to find. At that time they were handing out only the paper masks on that cruise. Now N95's are almost a dime a dozen. In fact they were handing out N95's at Walmart the other day. I'd bring my own N95's if I was you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingrob21 Posted April 28, 2022 #19 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Some friends and I joked when on the Majestic in December was that they should take the free tote bags they commonly give and turn those into masks 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for correcting my error. I am seriously shocked to find that Princess provided N95 masks. (Personally, I prefer the ones with ear loops because I'm lazy and using the two securing loops are more effort.) Again, I sincerely thank you for correcting my misinformation. (I dislike being wrong but not nearly as much as I dislike disseminating incorrect information.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissP22 Posted May 2, 2022 #23 Share Posted May 2, 2022 On the Enchanted they were KN95. We got a bunch & donated them all to an on-shore vendor who was happy to get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techwizardress Posted May 2, 2022 #24 Share Posted May 2, 2022 We were on the Majestic Princess, April 23-30, 2022. We received two N95/KN95 masks (cannot remember which one exactly). There was a note that if we wanted more we could just ask. We brought our own and used them during the cruise. Three COVID tests and we are3 still negative and hoping to stay that way. Happy Cruising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
