Their website specifies the internal areas where masks are formally required, like elevators, shops, etc but the wording seems to exclude large swathes of the interior spaces and as always, common sense should prevail. AFAIK, reports from folks currently or recently on the ships say that masks aren't 100% evident in the internal spaces, but fortunately most are being responsible and wearing them when required. Per Princess' Health and Safety FAQs "ALL guests will be required to wear a face mask – with no exceptions – in elevators, retails shops, in the casino, and other designated areas except while eating and drinking. Guests will also be required to wear face masks prior to being seated in our main dining rooms and in the buffet area, and occasionally in other designated areas where larger number of guests may congregate."

CruiseHealth™ FAQ: Sailings from the United States - Princess Cruises The UK protocols are subtly more relaxed Will I have to wear a face mask? Whilst we always recommend masks indoors, masks are required at the following locations: In lifts, retail shops, the casino, designated entertainment venues and prior to being seated in all dining areas. Masks are also required during embarkation, disembarkation and when going ashore, in keeping with local guidelines. Certain entertainment venues will be designated as “Sip and Cover” venues where you must wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth except while drinking. We’d always recommend guests wash their mask daily and choose a good quality, ideally medical grade, standard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3kidsncats Posted September 26, 2021 #28 Share Posted September 26, 2021 My husband and I were just on Royal Caribbean’s Adventure of the Seas out of Nassau for two weeks end of August into September. Masking was required basically anytime you were walking around inside, and for some shows (they had some shows designated mask required if unvaccinated kids were allowed into that particular show time.). It never bothered us although we did occasionally have the oops, forgot to grab it before we walked out of the cabin. It really isn’t that big of a deal, imo.

Ginnyfyr Posted September 27, 2021 #29 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Just off Majestic this morning. The only places where masks were required was in the terminal pre/post cruise, in elevators, stores, and when going to and from our table for meals. It was suggested to wear them in crowded places where you couldn't distance (i.e. the theatre, when lining up to get on and off the ship) but it wasn't mandatory. Interestingly, the majority of people on board chose to wear masks most of the time! I guess we're all just used to it now. They obviously weren't required outside, but they came in quite handy to keep our noses warm, especially in Glacier Bay! For the few places where we had to wear them, and for all the places where we chose to wear them, it really wasn't a big deal and did not negatively affect our experience at all. We were just thankful to be able to cruise again! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrcruiser Posted September 27, 2021 #30 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Seems to us wearing masks will be the norm until this virus is under control with herd immunity . Then there are always the new variants to protect against just like the yearly flu . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
