Rare island lady Posted May 22, 2020 #27 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Yup, since I would only wear one when embarking/disembarking...and out to pick up coffee in the lounge. 😉 The rest of my time would be with my feet up with a glass of wine and a book to read....sitting on the balcony enjoying the ocean air and views. I never sit by the pool anyway. We spend a lot of time on our balcony...no masks needed there. 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike the guy in Walmart yesterday whose mask was around his neck while he was sniffing all the air fresheners, or the lady at Home Depot who took her mask off to have an up close conversation with the kitchen designer.

We would normally book the cheapest OV cabins as we spend so little time in the room but it may be time to step up to balcony cabins for access to the open air in a worst case scenario. Ditto. We too usually get the standard OV cabin for most sailings so we can do several cruises and b2bs throughout the year. So far 3 of our 4 future cruises booked we have a spacious OV balcony. The 4th one in january we still have OV but may use one of our FCCs to upgrade to a balcony.. I think alot more cruisers will do the same if we have to wear masks at pool and sun decks then I'll just hang out on my balcony as long as I'm on the sunny side.

goldfish65 Posted May 22, 2020 #38 Share Posted May 22, 2020 They would have to let us take them off to eat and drink, wouldn't they? So then masks wouldn't be required constantly. The answer for me is yes I would still cruise "if masks were required" whatever that means. BUT, the only cruise I am interested in right now is crossing the ocean. Been to lots of the usual ports over the years, pretty much done. I understand the majority of people enjoy shows and activities but I'd be happy lounging in the cabin or balcony with a book and a cocktail and the ocean as far as I can see.

Big_G Posted May 22, 2020 #39 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I'm wearing one every day at work so it's not a problem for me. I'd probably get something more Royal Caribbeanish though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dltaeg Posted May 22, 2020 #40 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Without a doubt. Health is more important than anything. We have said as a family we will wear masks more often and hope it becomes more "normal" to wear them day to day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airbear232 Posted May 22, 2020 #46 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I'm not sure if this would prevent me from cruising. I am sure that when I travel, we will be taking extra masks with us. I think this will be the reality for the next while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired LEO Posted May 22, 2020 #47 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Not a chance. If they begin sailings in August and a mask is required I'll be cancelling 16 upcoming cruises and be done. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3monkeys4me Posted May 22, 2020 #49 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Possibly. I wouldn't cruise in the next few months if masks were required...but I am not likely to cruise in the next few months to a year anyway. Beyond that, I don't know. It just depends on what the "normal" is. I would wear a mask to travel in general and have worn a mask on a fairly frequent basis when traveling for various reasons so it isn't something that is out of the realm of possibility for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once on the ship, it should be much easier to maintain distance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
