Please help! Are masks now required on Princess Discovery Alaska Cruise- Seattle to Seattle??

[dimiegirl]

Hello! I would greatly appreciate it if someone could please tell me whether or not masks are mandated on the Discovery Princess Seattle to Seattle Alaska cruise this august. Princess representative said it is but their site says only Northbound or Southbound between Vancouver and Whittier must wear masks. I really need to know as I only have 9 days to cancel my cruise and rebook with the cruise with confidence policy as my cruise leaves august 21st. We do not want to have to wear a mask indoors so I would cancel and rebook if this policy is in effect for this cruise but I just can't get a straight answer from Princess. If anyone has been on the discovery princess or another princess Seattle to Seattle Alaska cruise since late June (that is when this went into effect) I would be very grateful if you could shed some light on this issue. Thank you in advance!

As this is a Princess specific policy, I would ask on the Princess board. But given the general Carnival Corp policies, the route doesn't matter...masks are now required indoors, when not eating. I see the comments on the Princess board, but I would ask for experiences on the Princess board, not here.

I would cancel since it is an issue for you. As fast as cases are spreading now, including on ships, it is possible they will add the mask requirement prior to your cruise even if they do not have it in place today.

Hi everyone,

I heard back from some folks who were on the discovery princess and they said masks are not required only if the cruise is vancouver to Seattle route. Thanks for taking the time to respond and for the suggestion to post in princess. Have a good night!
