devinc Posted January 18, 2022 #2 Share Posted January 18, 2022 We had those in our cabin on Vista last week and just left them in the cabin. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djptcp Posted January 18, 2022 #3 Share Posted January 18, 2022 We received 4 great masks in our Holland America cabin in Dec. Will be going on a Carnival cruise on Jan. 31st. We were wondering if Carnival was going to also provide masks. The Holland masks fit perfectly, were cloth and wash easily and keep their shape.

CruisingFromLA Posted January 18, 2022 #5 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Was on the 3 day Radiance over the weekend. We were provided 1 (yes only 1) per person with KN95 masks at the start of the cruise in your stateroom. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac21902 Posted January 18, 2022 #6 Share Posted January 18, 2022 We received these on our Mardi Gras cruise on 1/8. They only gave us 1 each though for the entire cruise. We had our own masks though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had asked our steward for another and he said he needed permission from his manager. My husband like the fit of these better as they went over his beard easier.

Guest BasicSailor Posted January 19, 2022 #11 Share Posted January 19, 2022 This mask looks to be vented on the side vs what was actually given out. The vented mask protects you, but not others. Air is exhaled through the vent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknoge3k Posted January 19, 2022 #12 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Last year when we had to wear masks in my state, I had one I really liked. You could breathe through it and it didn't fog up my glasses. When we cruise again in April I will buy another one for the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't found Them anywhere close to that price. In early December I bought 50 KN95’s for just under $30. Late December bought 50 for a family member, cost $50. Now the same thing is $90!

Pellaz Posted January 19, 2022 #16 Share Posted January 19, 2022 What is the difference between N95 masks and KN95 masks? Or...is there one? Are both types acceptable for medical use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fireofficer5 Posted January 19, 2022 #18 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) N95 has straps that go over and behind your head. Those are almost an automatic perfect fit. KN95 are less form fitting, they go over the ears. Fabric masks are not rated for virus protection. N95 masks are good for inhalation and exhalation protection for yourself and other humans that are near by. Kn95 are good for both, but must be made to fit the completely to the face. Loose fitting and cloth masks do very little in the way of protection for you and other humans that are close by. I know, because I wear them for work. Lieutenant/Paramedic 32 years.

I get what you are saying. I just think it is a good bet that the cruise lines (at least out of the U.S.) will continue to follow the CDC recommendations on acceptable masks. I can be wrong, as my library of betamax movies will attest. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingguy007 Posted January 19, 2022 #21 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Threads like these give me hope! When people are complaining about complimentary items that they should be bringing themselves, it means things are slowly returning to normal. A thread about the complimentary Sky Zone socks and T-shirts not being quality enough should be along soon and then things will feel normal. My kids still have their shirts and wear them sometimes. Normalcy and first world problems are a great sign of things to come. 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mdin Posted January 19, 2022 #22 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I ordered a 20 pack of 3M N95 masks from Staples for $30. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famof4togo Posted January 19, 2022 #23 Share Posted January 19, 2022 To clarify.....the KN95 and the K95 masks are just "recommended" by Carnival and cloth masks are just "discouraged" by Carnival correct? Meaning I can still wear my cute sparkly cloth ones on board and that will be accepted? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
