Pattycruise Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 RCL had come out with the "temporary" mask mandate for cruises through Jan 5 for all locations, including vaccinated. I'm guessing the update will come out soon? I'm wondering if they will add any other changes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure they are prepping more emails Pattycruise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twangster Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 UPDATED MASK PROTOCOLS Due to the latest public health evaluation, we have extended our latest mask protocol to sailings departing on or before January 31, 2022, at which point it will be reevaluated. The policy remains the same and requires all guests to wear a mask, regardless of vaccination status, at all times indoors except while eating or drinking. This includes at venues reserved for vaccinated guests only. In alignment with the expansion of the mask policy, smoking will not be permitted in the casino for all cruises departing on or before January 31, 2022.

Swar Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 The Casino is SO much better without the smoke! Sorry for the nicotine crowd. I hope it is a permanent change. Not a smoker, but used to do cigars. However, I hope the mask thingy goes away soon. Shay, Neesa, B&S and 4 others 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 I've never smoked in my life and I am very concerned the new smoke free casino may be too hard to resist. I'm running out to buy cigarettes. If I get addicted by my cruise I won't be able to use the casino. Think of the money I'll save.

Ampurp85 Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 I got the "Updated protocols" email like 5 min ago. I am okay with the mask and think I may have to leave my bank card home. I would only spend maybe 30min in the casino because of the smoke.......now who knows. Neesa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedNoodles Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 I have such little tolerance for losing that I'm typically out of a casino in 20-30 minutes, smoke or no smoke. IRMO12HD, WAAAYTOOO and woodman1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your odds improve significantly around minute 21-31, hang in there, smoke or no smoke. Matt and MrMarc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

not easy being green Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Royal Caribbean International has extended its face mask policy through the end of January for guests sailing on the brand's ships. In an email sent to booked guests, the Miami-based cruise line cited the Omicron variant and said "it prudent to temporarily tighten our onboard health protocols to require masks indoors at all times, unless actively eating or drinking. This new update also applies to vaccinated areas and venues. Lastly, in alignment with the updated mask policy, smoking will also not be permitted in the casino for all cruises departing on or before January 31, 2022." The new protocols were put in place in December as worries about the Omicron Variant grew. Pattycruise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PG Cruiser Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 I like the casinos being smoke free. I get to enjoy the five minutes it takes to use my free play ha ha (No disrespect to smokers, it’s just that second hand smoke is an asthma trigger for me) Swar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
