marieps Posted October 3, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I'm sure they'll follow at some point, although with O's demographic it may have a more cautious time table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nol2929 Posted October 3, 2022 #3 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Our Oceania sailing on the 13th Oct does not have any testing or masks. Un-vaccinated must still be tested prior to sailing as per the Oceania Sailsafe program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LHT28 Posted October 4, 2022 #7 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Maybe they will have a choice so they can decide to protect themselves for the PAX bringing covid & other viruses onboard I am sure they are tired of getting sick also 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my restaurant customers recently had to shut down for three days, in addition to their regular closure days. All his staff was vaccinated but a nasty variant wiped out 3 of 5 waitstaff and part of the kitchen. He didn’t have enough staff to stay open. I don’t want to hear crying from the anti maskers if a significant portion of the ship’s crew went down and you float around for days maybe eating only out of the Terrace. Or you come to Embark and are told you can’t because of crew Covid levels. Not enough staff. For me, the ship’s crew can stay masked for awhile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted October 4, 2022 #9 Share Posted October 4, 2022 FWIW, on our recent Regatta cruise mask wearing by crew was optional on their part. I would say it was probably in the 25-30% range that were wearing them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
