Which brings me to another topic to add to the long complaints list, people who are clearly fit and well getting a lift down one or two floors. That’s me done with this thread, off to start another 😂going for the title of the Boards biggest complainer 👍. Some strong competition for that title here 😁😁😁 Just as a reminder, not all disabilities or things that cause issues with stairs are visible and require something like walkers, canes, or chairs. You can't tell just by looking at someone that they are "clearly fit and well". 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may look clearly fit and can walk fine most times but sometimes my hip bursitis bothers me and I am in terrible pain going up and down stairs. Don’t judge a book by its cover! You have no idea what is going on with someone’s health. Perfect example. I have hip issues from a childhood injury - I can walk on flat surfaces fine and would appear "clearly" healthy there, but when it is acting up, if I'm doing stairs it is painful and obvious. But not on stairs? You'd never know to watch me walk. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely use a cane because I always leave it somewhere on a cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wineoclock Posted October 5, 2022 #130 Share Posted October 5, 2022 For me it’s fairly obvious I’m not for & healthy as I walk with a stick. It’s especially useful on the tube. I usually always get a seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, you can always use the stick to whack some Gen-Xer that pretends you're not there when sitting in one that says "Please offer this seat"! 😆 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recommended but not enforced. Our stateroom attendant left a couple of masks in our stateroom but others we spoke with said they didn't get any masks in their stateroom. Crew didn't get a break from wearing the masks the entire cruise. Edited October 11, 2022 by davekathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WKUTopperFan Posted October 11, 2022 #140 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I'm so happy the crew will be maskless when I see them this Thanksgiving. I will smile when I see their smiles! Happy Days!!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catnip Posted October 11, 2022 #141 Share Posted October 11, 2022 On 10/4/2022 at 9:17 AM, WrittenOnYourHeart said: So just stay home and isolated. We all have to make choices and decisions. All of life is a risk - you can get hit by a runaway car while you're walking down the sidewalk, or you can do everything right health-wise and still end up with cancer. Each person can decide what they are comfortable with in all situations. If someone is so freaked out that even removing their mask to eat or drink is an issue, cruising is not for them right now. If ever. Unless they're renting a private yacht where they supply the crew from people they know are 100% virus free. Then cruising would be ok I guess. 100% agree!

Rare OysterD Posted October 11, 2022 #144 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Just off 11 nights on the Reflection and after reading so much doom and gloom on here prior to travelling we fully expected to catch covid at some point on the ship! However, back home for 4 days now and touch wood we're all clear still. I'd say probably less than 1% of passengers were wearing masks on the ship and most of the crew weren't either. After speaking with a few crew members who were wearing them, apparently if they had just boarded the ship they were required to mask up for 5 days. They were all looking forward to day 6 when they could ditch them. Throughout the cruise there was zero mention of covid from the captain, apart from when we docked at Athens and he told us that masks would be delivered to each cabin as we had to wear them walking through the cruise terminal at Pireaus. Which was utterly ridiculous as it was literally about a 30 second walk! I don't know whether the person in charge of covid restrictions in Greece has just been on vacation for the last 6 months or so but they really have the stupidest rules still. From the rule about having a supervised test before boarding just because the ship stops in Greece, to wearing a mask in a very quiet and well ventilated port terminal for 30 seconds, to the fact the crew were supposed to wear masks ON BOARD the ship while we were docked at Pireaus. Nonsensical lol. Anyway, it was a delight to see unmasked crew, as it was to see a totally packed grand foyer for the silent disco, ABBA night and other events held there. Nobody seemed to care about covid, the cruise could quite easily have been taking place 3yrs ago pre covid. We saw no mass increase in people coughing, spluttering and sneezing half way through the cruise. We did have a few days when we were sneezing and had runny noses but we took a couple of antihistamines/allergy pills and it cleared right up after an hour. Don't automatically assume anyone who sneezes has covid there's a good chance its just allergies! 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising89143 Posted October 11, 2022 #147 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Just debarked the Navigator on RCI. More crew members wore masks versus those without. When asked more felt comfortable wearing them. Don’t count on all crew to be maskless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
