srpilo Posted August 15, 2021 #751 Share Posted August 15, 2021 The online protocols insinuate that there may be places indoors ("where crowds DON"T congregate ") where masks are NOT required. Was there any place specifically indoors where masks were NOT required ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We quickly found our luggage and showed our passport. Then off to the transfer bus which took a half hour to get to the airport. We are flying United and use TSA precheck so we breezed through. Alaska airlines and regular security was a zoo. Great trip but ready to be home! Welcome back to AZ! Really appreciate all your reporting during your cruise. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what they were doing with the piano is they have two different piano players and a guitarist and sometimes violin is to play by The wheelhouse bar by Crown Grill which is lovely. And sometimes they'll play the piano and other live music down in the Piazza. The Ocean boulevard who's there band currently on board a lot of time still performing the Vista lounge in the back of the ship as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegascosmogirl Posted August 16, 2021 #758 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Thanks so much for this report. I’ll be on the majestic in 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrobin Posted August 16, 2021 #759 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) @srpilo Onboard there were 'mask required' signs around the ship - elevators, retail shops, casino, entertainment venues like the Vista Lounge, Princess Live... In practice, masks were worn by some, but not others, walking around the ship, at bars, in the Piazza, and of course when sitting down to eat or drink anywhere, or smoking in the casino.

Mare10 Posted August 16, 2021 #761 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Thank you so much! On all my Princess cruises I've really enjoyed sitting in Crooners in the evenings, and there have been some great performers there. I'll check out the Wheelhouse Bar! We don't go til next April but it's fun reading the posts and getting excited about cruising again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say after my early dinner I used to sit up by the wheelhouse bar for quite some time it was just so relaxing and enjoyable with the live music.

Unfortunately, as a nonsmoker, smoking was allowed in the casino, despite the mask policy. Table games and slots on the right were 'nonsmoking'. Slots on the port side were smoking. Two nights, I think the two formal nights, the casino was smoke free. I think the casino PTB think people won't gamble if they cannot smoke. They used to say people wouldn't go to bars and restaurants anymore if they couldn't smoke. Well, that has been debunked. Also, table games have been changed to no-smoking and they still have business. Plenty of examples of people come into casino just to smoke and not gamble. It's time to kill smoking everywhere indoors, except in the closed off Churchill's which has strong ventilation I presume. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a relatively small area and unfortunately creates a lot of noise for nearby tables in the Crown Grill restaurant area. It's too bad there isn't a larger area outside the Piazza for this type of music. I would think VIP Gaming area could be used for this as well.

Unfortunately that VIP gaming room is just sitting there I want to say collecting dust. I mean anyone could go in there to sit and relax if you're looking for a really nice quiet place to sit which I have used multiple times when I was onboard. Otherwise it's a non-functioning lounge bar is not open in there and there's no activities or events that go on in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted August 16, 2021 #768 Share Posted August 16, 2021 The VIP gaming room was used differently in Australia, with Crooners-type piano entertainment every night. It was very popular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14baja Posted August 16, 2021 #770 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Thanks for all the great information; I'll be sailing on 9/5. Was there any final confirmation on how many passengers were on your sailing? I read in the thread somewhere that it was upwards of 3,000; surprising, since multiple TA's have said they are running lower capacity than that. Did the ship feel crowded?

Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted August 16, 2021 #771 Share Posted August 16, 2021 3300, and, yes, it feels crowded, particularly in the elevators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Sept. 26th sailing, we have been told that the VIP room is where our M&G will be. Of course, that is only about one hour out of 7 days.

They were going to change it to an hour earlier and to a different location. After convincing them no one would come if it was an hour earlier they were able to keep the same time and moved us to Crown. long story short your roll call should be prepared for a last minute change once on board. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
