Everything I see still indicates the 14th and it still requires masks on board in unvaccinated areas https://www.celebritycruises.com/healthy-at-sea/faqs Expand the section that reads: Will I be required to wear a mask onboard?

Ocean Boy Posted February 9, 2022 #105 Share Posted February 9, 2022 36 minutes ago, NightOne said: Just updated today: "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." Is this for real.... on RCI?

It was also just confirmed on the weekly travel agent webinar A nitpick, but based on your post, your thread title is a day off. Should be "effective Feb 15th". Things may have changed since your OP, but maybe ask a mod to update the title? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think that’s bad, try telling everyone on our 11 February Anthem sailing that this doesn’t mean we’re going to be maskless after the night of the 14th. Many of the cruisers in the f b group seem slightly… confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising89143 Posted February 10, 2022 #112 Share Posted February 10, 2022 The CDC has just issued an update for the cruise industry. Not great news. If this holds, I think that we will see more mandates from the industry on boosters. Will be interesting to see how the industry reacts to the latest updates. https://www.seatrade-cruise.com/environmental-health/cdc-holds-level-4-cruise-warning-new-voluntary-covid-program-has-booster-facet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chengkp75 Posted February 10, 2022 #121 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Apparently, the CDC has informed cruise line executives that if they opt out of the voluntary CSO program, by eliminating mask mandates, they will fall into the category of "general transportation", which is covered by an Executive Order, in place since last February, that covers all ships, of all types, of all nations, that wish to enter the US. While this order does not require testing or vaccination, and specifically says it does not take into account the vaccination status, it does require masks at all times when indoors (except in cabin). https://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/masks/mask-travel-guidance.html#:~:text=All people%2C including workers and,in the United States and https://www.dco.uscg.mil/Our-Organization/Assistant-Commandant-for-Prevention-Policy-CG-5P/Inspections-Compliance-CG-5PC-/Commercial-Vessel-Compliance/CDC-Mask-Order-Frequently-Asked-Questions/ As the USCG is tasked with granting clearance to vessels to enter the US, they will be applying this order to all cruise ships that are not following the voluntary CSO.

I pop in over here from time to time for old times sake but mainly just lurk and SMH at some of the “stuff” posted. Some things never change. 🙂 My next three cruises are on X. Right now we’re watching Italy as that’s where our next cruise leaves from. Fingers crossed. Been trying to get there for two years. I know, first world problems. Yeah, I have two sailings this summer that I haven’t cancelled, but I don’t think there is any chance of going on out of Italy. Even if they happen I am not at all sure I want to deal with it right now. So, I will likely cancel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
