Mcclouded, thanks for your response. My intent was not to start a debate on Covid mandates, and I have already stated my position. But my intent was to state that for at least one person booked on a future TA crossing, if circumstances require a mask mandate, then perhaps I should not be sailing at all. Even with a mask mandate, chances are you will be seated next to others for extended periods with no one wearing a mask unless passenger capacity is materially reduced, there is social distancing at meals, and the bars are closed.
