Thanks Not mandatory at the moment, but we are taking some 'just in case'. As Zap says, things can change quite quickly. Have a great cruise.

We have recently come back from a cruise where it was advised that masks should be worn if you have a cough. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always take masks and sanitiser when going ashore, regularly use sanitiser and have masks just in case. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermotsgirl Posted June 27, 2023 #10 Share Posted June 27, 2023 For a week long cruise on Iona, the chances of masks being mandated are negligible. The sound of coughing may increase as the week progresses, but all the passengers are off the ship before the effects of a mass break out are really noticed. However, some people may choose to wear masks on occasion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another line with which I sail makes it clear that should facemasks be required for any reason they will be provided free of charge. P&O should follow suite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality that is what happens, we have had several cruises with five different lines in the past 12 months (including P&O) they all had masks available. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few masks don't take up much room. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
