Va4fam Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Interesting info. Seems like a good time for us to embrace the WOW bands on Royal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunwoodyDad Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 This also implies if someone is sick onboard they get quarantined (standard protocol for many other illnesses) and others in “close contact”. What it doesn’t say is if someone is tested positive for COVID, the whole ship goes into quarantine which is what many fear.

J-Fitz Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Booking a cruise for late 2021. Any vacation that is restricted in such a way is no vacation at all. Saving that vacation time for sure. Mrs. Thomas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, just seemed like wordsmith to me. Assuming they mean CDC guidance then masks will more than likely be recommended. What does "advised" mean in the context below? As @mworkman points out, it's not "required" but recommended / advised to wear a mask. Will they take the recommendation and make it a requirement? Will it truly be recommended so you don't have to wear a mask? I see the uproar now between non-mask & mask ... heck, we haven't even solved the dress attire on formal night disagreement yet. Quote - For masks, we follow the same guidance as is recommended on land — so if people are advised to wear masks there, we will do so at sea, as well.

That's why i was pointing that out...It's like the warning label on cigarettes... "May be hazardous to your health" but people do it anyhow. They are advising, the devil is in the details.

cruisellama Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Sincere applause! Whether you like, dislike, approve or not with the plan - it is a plan, and Virgin has rolled it out to the public.. Leading the fleet! Any line should be doing similar things and showing forward motion. I've felt RCL has been very passive from at least a communications perspective. Publicly traded companies like RCL and other cruise lines need to make periodic announcements show shareholders and guests know they're working the problem.
