Roger11 Posted February 6, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 6, 2023 We will be on Symphony of the Seas, February 25, 2023 and I am reading conflicting information about wearing masks on board. I called RC today and the rep told me we needed to wear masks anytime we're not in our state room or eating/drinking. A friend of mine took a recent cruise on another RC ship and they didn't need to wear masks. I understand the risks but am vaccinated with 3 additional boosters and wouldn't have booked a cruise if we needed to wear masks walking around the ship.

smokeybandit Posted February 6, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 6, 2023 You got a clueless rep. No masks are required for anyone. 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken at the beach Posted February 6, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I get thst some of the reps may be a couple weeks behind on policy changes but seriously...we are approaching one year of being mask free. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooter6251 Posted February 6, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 6, 2023 It's gotten to where Royal's phone reps are the worst to ask about most things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucfan2 Posted February 6, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) Just got off the Symphony last Saturday. We witnessed a handful of individuals wearing a mask (I believe that's what they're called) throughout the week.

BND Posted February 6, 2023 #8 Share Posted February 6, 2023 LOL. Sounds like the OP went back in time. The reps really are just reading off the info they are given. Problem is, that rep sounds like they have an old script. If anything, with the cancellation of the "emergency" by the President in May, masking won't be required anywhere anymore such as Dr's offices as it currently is. There's always a few people wearing masks. At church yesterday out of a few hundred people, I saw two wearing masks. A year ago, there would have been 50+. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In VA, they are still required in all medical settings. I fully support no masks and have, but everything from Dentists to Dr's to imaging centers and hospitals all require them. My DIL is an RN in a GP's office and they still wear them as INOVA requires it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger11 Posted February 6, 2023 Author #11 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Thanks to everyone, I couldn't believe what she was telling me. I was wondering how in the world they could enforce mask wearing for a ship full of people. Appreciate the relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2mnem Posted June 25, 2023 #12 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) So I am curious as I was looking at the information about my upcoming cruise and this was part of the info on my APP Does this still apply?

I don't understand why you would optionally wear one, then wear it improperly? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately RC has been quite slow to remove some very outdated references to covid protocols from its app screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
