Rare AussieBoyTX Posted May 23, 2022 Author #2 Share Posted May 23, 2022 The language in the English-language COVID protocol document has been updated to say masks are recommended for passengers.

Just in time for us! - our Ponant cruise starts on June 27 (Mediterranean Odyssey; Nice - Istanbul, LE BOUGAINVILLE). Does it mean it will be required on the ship during stay in a Greek port? Or it means it is required while on the shore in such a port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading other cruise lines' sites, it does seem that masks are required indoors on the ship while at Greek ports. I will be curious to see how Ponant interprets and enforces this. There's also a note that masks aren't required on Greek flights as of June 1, so perhaps we'll see additional changes next week.

It's funny - I've never heard of a potential to physically spread any virus toward a port of call while staying on the ship. We were on 2 Caribbean cruises: December of last year and this March; each country of ports of call (Mexico and islands) required masks at the time of our both cruises; however, we were required to use them only while on the shore (on the ship masks were not required at any time whether it was a sea day or port day).
