How is Cruising with new mask requirements

[freewilly]

We are wondering how it is to cruise vaxed with CCL since Mask protocol?

You’ll pretty much get out of it what you expect  to. If you hate wearing masks going to the stores today, you will probably hate wearing masks onboard.  If mask wearing really doesn’t bother you much today, it won’t ruin your cruise either. 
 

if the weather cooperates and you spend a lot of time out on deck during the day, those hours are mask free.

 

We had a very enjoyable cruise, even with a mask. So much so that we just booked another for this year. YMMV

 

The worst part really was the pre-cruise testing dance.

On the ship, I didn't feel like it was a big deal. You can be mask free in all the outdoor places. They are particular when you enter the lido restaurant or mdr. Once seated, nobody cares. Crowded shows, they remind you to remain masked, but if you have a drink, nobody cares. Casino is where they are quite insistent about masks. I mostly played in the non-smoking side, but on the smoking side, I did notice some tension between the dealers and smoking players about mask. Some dealers will remind you to sip and cover.

 

Outside excursions is a mixed bag. I did a very active and strenuous excursion and they made us mask for the first 10 mins before allowing to take it off when we were in the forest.  Even when walking outside, most of the ports expect masking, but not really enforced.
