Not anymore.  It is now optional for crew.

could've fooled me The entire staff wore them - at least those we saw all around the ship.

We wouldn’t cruise if masks were required. 

I won't cruise without one - especially not after getting covid while masked essentially all the time. We had several different ones and rotated each day. Didn't seem to matter.

I absolutely hate having my nose covered by anything.

Then you must really hate it when it's cold and have to (or should?) wear a scarf over your nose and mouth!

Curious as to why? Given a choice between masking and not cruising at all, I'm fine with the mask. The crew is masked at all times. 

I understood mask wearing by crew was now optional,  or at least dependent on the ruling by the Captain?

 

I understood the recent Mariner sailing reverted to crew mask wearing as mandated by the Captain after a crew outbreak?

 

We have sailed Adventure several times this year and have several more booked.

no masks were necessary either.

Personal choice. Enough on this. It dovetails too easily into a politically- oriented discussion. Best left alone. Each to his own.

I'm done with her. Too big for us. Radiance class is as large as I want to go.

I live in Florida.  Never gets that cold.  Even when I have lived in a cold climate I never put a scarf over my nose.  As a child when I would hide under the covers I made sure my nose was not covered.

Once we're through all our rebooked / rescheduled trips we really want to think about what we want to do in the way of travel going forward. Probably not too much international travel anymore. I had moments on the Adventure where I'm starting to feel that I'm getting 'cruised out'.

Knew that was coming. Well, please avoid a cruise to either the far north or far south. You'd hate having to bundle your face up in multiple layers. Here in PA we live with it every winter!

We have been to Alaska.  It was cold when we were cruising to the glacier!  I have a hat and a cowl (which does not cover my nose) that I wear.

Moving right along.  Annabel has learned to use the cat door.  It leads to a pen with a solid wooden cat tree.  Unfortunately, she has only learned the out part and has not figured out the in part.  I spent a lot of time today sticking my hand thru the door to try to show her how it works.  We are both tired now.  LOL

We have future sailings booked on Radiance and Vision but have enjoyed several on Adventure and several future cruises booked.

 

I am sorry you tested positive but when you are in an enclosed area anywhere there is risk.

Sadly even after all this time people are missing the point.

Blue Jays just lost 2 games at home and I was hoping for a Yankee's and BlueJays American League Championship Series. Not to be.

Just wondering if you require a mask to be worn by your patients in your office.  

Well, there is a sign on the door saying so......
