Key in my decision is "How will life on board change?"..if the CDC, publishes Health Guidelines For Cruises: like the EU did , it's possible that some of HAL's midship pools will be considered "inside pools" and disallowed.  (see Aaron Saunders Cruise Critic 7/2/20 article).  I expect and can live with all the other changes I can imagine (masks, food, etc.), but not being able to relax by or in the mid-ship pool with friends and/or a book is a "make or break" for me.....and aft pools are just too small to accommodate any number of passengers..  Carnival and/or Hal will likely publish some type of new guidelines before they extend their self imposed no-sail beyond 9/30. 

If the mid-ship pools are not available, I will likely cancel my near term bookings...

We took our 100 day medallion medals home and put them with our other cruising memorabilia. We have no plans to wear them on future cruises, but that's just us.

Hang them up in your stateroom -like well-earned trophies. Lets the cabin stewards know their good efforts help play a role in  your own level of brand  loyalty.

Thanks for responding..

 Do mariners actually wear the medallion to the luncheon or other events?  I was recently presented with my first one and I need to know the expectations are..Thanks.
