Pooch Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 Hmm, we were mostly outside at the beach but I did a little shopping. Maybe I was too drunk to remember??? ellcee and ellipses127 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reigert2008 Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 For the foreseeable future, I’d recommend that you always have a mask. While municipalities may not have any requirements, individual locations may. We were just in New York City and at some stores they required masks to enter. Some places also asked for proof of vaccination, so you should probably carry that with you as well. at the end of the day, it’s easier to have the mask or vaccine card and not use it than it is to track all the rules for whichever places you’re going to be visiting. I suspect things will be more “normal” in 2023, but 2022 will probably be a transition year. Good luck!

Pooch Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 As suggested earlier, I did carry masks for everyone just in case. I know we needed them in St Thomas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 In many places such as San Juan and St. Maarten the enforcement has dropped while the policy may still be in place. In other places like St. Thomas last month they were still enforcing local policy to walk off the dock but they indicated it was to change the following week after my visit. I would suggest having some in case a particular venue requires them. Where I went in St. Maarten didn't require them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooch Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Many of the shops in St Thomas also required masks so it’s more than just coming & going in the port area. We did witness a passenger being denied reentry in St Thomas because he didn’t have a mask. Said no one stopped him when he got off the ship but security was adamant. He was pretty irate but they wouldn’t budge. He had to go buy one because they would not let him through. As a PP said, take one just to be safe.

Jill Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Last October St Thomas yes, even outside. March 18 cruise no masks in St Thomas St Maarten (both times) we never went inside anywhere. No masks outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooch Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 We were in St Thomas on March 18th also so I guess YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
