asdf1245 Posted February 10 #1 Share Posted February 10 Can you buy Masquerade Masks on the QE for the Masquerade Gala Evening? If so, what is the cost and is there a reasonable range for purchase? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Pushpit Posted February 10 #2 Share Posted February 10 Yes, you can, and there will be about a dozen designs to choose from, and the cost something like US$20 or so. So you would be much better off going on to Amazon or eBay and getting something for a fraction of that cost. No need to have a mask, some people like the sense of occasion, and you do see them in the Queens Room during the ballroom dancing, but only a minority will participate in wearing a mask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac1953 Posted February 10 #3 Share Posted February 10 Probably not many more than 10% of pax will participate. If you're not a ball room dancer, then I wouldn't bother. In almost 30 Cunard trips, we've never worn a mask at any time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare D&N Posted February 10 #4 Share Posted February 10 If you do want masks SHEIN have a large range: https://fr.shein.com/pdsearch/Masque Bal/?ici=s1`SuggestionSearch`Masque Bal`_fb`d0`PageCollection&search_source=2&search_type=all&src_identifier=st%3D4`sc%3DMasque Bal`sr%3D0`ps%3D17&src_module=search&src_tab_page_id=page_collection1707567630168 We're in France so use their French site. Change the site settings to your country and currency We (my wife) has lots, but these silver and gold ones, his & hers, or plain black fabric ones, are probably the best suited: https://fr.shein.com/2pack-Plain-Costume-Eye-Shield-p-9710597.html https://fr.shein.com/2pack-Zorro-Lace-Costume-Eyewear-p-9624162.html You'd probably need to make it part of a bigger order to avoid shipping fees, in which case you might be cheaper with Amazon.

Rare NE John Posted February 10 #5 Share Posted February 10 $4 masks on Amazon work well. As mentioned, they’re good for photo ops but not widely adhered to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ofmyheart Posted February 18 #6 Share Posted February 18 Either Amazon or your local party store. As stated not many participants but fun for photo opps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not strictly true - yes some have been banned from docking in the centre of Venice but they still call at Venice and now dock some way outside. Anyway there are other ways to visit Venice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted February 19 #11 Share Posted February 19 12 hours ago, david63 said: Surely a masquerade mask has to come from Venice Look online for stores that sell genuine Venetian masks. I don't know about the UK but there are some in Australia that import the masks from Venice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
