publicpersona Posted February 9, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 9, 2022 So this ratchets back the most recent tweak to the masking policy. That is, once again there can be vaccinated only venues where masks are no longer required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love how one cruise line sets the tone (ncl), and others note the need to adapt. Good things coming soon to a cruise line near you. It'll be the same adage as it has been since cruising resumed, although w/ a much better flavor...'agree to the approved protocols, or don't sail'.

WestLakeGirl Posted February 9, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Royal went from masks in all indoor spaces to having some places where masks are not requited for vaccinated passengers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were no masks required on Explorer in the diamond lounge, and no masks in the Piano bar or casino in December and they are going back to that now.

m8zenblue Posted February 9, 2022 #10 Share Posted February 9, 2022 It really does no good to put out a mask requirement when they do not enforce it. I'm sure I will get backlash on my statement but I know first hand X does not enforce it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'll bet someone will post the opposite. Celebrity shouldn't have to employ mask police. We hate wearing masks but if that is their policy, so be it.

Sure, you see a nose every once in awhile and, occasionally, there are those very few that simply forgot to put their mask back on after getting up from a table where they have been eating or drinking or when leaving their stateroom. But they soon remember to put it back on or go back to the cabin to get it because of all the “masked” looks their getting from folks passing by. 😂😂 Edited February 9, 2022 by Ken the cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whirlybird3 Posted February 9, 2022 #13 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Celebrity just updated their website: Effective for all sailings departing February 12, 2022 forward, masks will not be required onboard for vaccinated guests unless attending activities in the Theatre or Casino. Masks will continue to be required for unvaccinated guests, under 12 years old, at all times indoors except while eating or drinking. 10 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jelayne Posted February 9, 2022 #15 Share Posted February 9, 2022 We start tge 2nd leg of a B2B on 2/12 glad making is changing. At least once a day I head out of the cabin, leave the dining room & forget to put on my mask. yesterday I got all the way to the spa, never passing a single person, and released I walked out of the cabin without my mask, it was a long walk back.

They are just happy to have passengers back I really don’t think they want to make them upset. Or cause a confrontation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggie North Posted February 9, 2022 #18 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Thank you @whirleybird3. I looked for the wording on the Celebrity website and found this update under Healthy at Sea FAQ's: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicpersona Posted February 9, 2022 #19 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) That's interesting. Apparently, they are not going to have vaccinated only theatre shows with no masks, or a policy of unvaccinated seating only in the balcony. Nevertheless, this is a positive move that reflects that current data, and I look forward to less masking when I cruise in March.

Since they are requiring everyone over 12 to be vaccinated and there are not a lot of children on Celebrity there would be no need for vaccinated only shows.

Precisely the point. Vaccinated family travelling with unvaccinated children are considered part of the unvaccinated. Theatre seating by vaccinating status rather than masks or social distancing has been one of the protocols in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
