Moltar Posted February 19, 2022 #5 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Yes! No masks when I sailed in July on Adventure and now no masks for Anthem on 2/27. Yay me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they will still be wearing them to avoid when they have their weekly checks not coming up with a bunch of them being positive should an outbreak take place. All they need is a high percentage of them turning up positive and have to turn around the ship and head back to either one of those sick bay ships or back to port and end the cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keacat Posted February 19, 2022 #11 Share Posted February 19, 2022 So can I assume that if I am on a cruise that leaves the 24th I will still be required to wear a mask the entire cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what mandate Miami is giving the ships - it could go either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrikeEagle Posted February 19, 2022 Author #15 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) I orginally post this thread to seek comments to make sure I'm reading it right about the masks policy email just received early this morning before having coffee.

Like Biker said could go either way I was on the Mariner when the policy got stricter and we had to adhere to the new rules mid cruise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which terminals are you referring to? Pretty sure Royal's past mask mandate extended to the terminals so now the lack of mandate should too. We're doing a b2b on EN in April and will pack a few, just in case, which I think most people will also. No plan to use them, but if we're in a port that requires them, we will. I'm sure Royal also has a huge surplus of the masks they had made that they can give out if necessary. Edited February 19, 2022 by BND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal may not control what happens in the terminal in all locations (quite a few are shared with other lines, not RCI only terminals) - those are controlled by the port and as an extension of the transportation system, they may not lift it until the transportation mask mandate is lifted.

Dewaldcruiser Posted February 19, 2022 #22 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Any idea if RCI cruises leaving from Barbados will use the new maskless protocols? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas recently filed a lawsuit to end the federal mask mandate. We'll see if that has any impact on the current expiration date of March 18. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
