NSWP Posted November 1, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I am sure Westerdam will have masks, Princess does. Just bring some with you. Enjoy your cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be getting on when you get off, so make sure to bring her back in one piece 🙂 Edited November 1, 2022 by boeckli 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted November 1, 2022 #7 Share Posted November 1, 2022 My recommendation is to take enough P2 masks for your cruise. They are far more effective than surgical masks and more comfortable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That depends. Certainly was the case for Coral, but the states dropped the mandate for masks on cruise ships a couple of weeks ago. Unlike Coral, we had no masks waiting for us in our cabin. I am sure if we asked, we could have got some, but I would no longer take it as a given that they will be supplied on demand on healthy ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting what covid tier Westerdam is when she arrives here. Bearing in mind is she is coming loaded from USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cunnorl Posted November 3, 2022 #11 Share Posted November 3, 2022 We are currently on the Noordam with an expected arrival in Brisbane on the 8th. my cabin steward has left surgical masks for us a few times and there was a pack waiting when we boarded. Captain said covid numbers are low, whatever that means. I can honestly say I have not heard a lot of coughing etc. Many but not all passengers are wearing masks in public areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boeckli Posted November 4, 2022 #12 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Following quote is from the Westerdam on-board report I mentioned in post #3: Covid Report as of 11/3/22 @ 4:30pm in Cairns The Captain just announced that our Covid numbers are down 7 people: 40 passengers and 3 crew. We have a decreasing trend which is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
