I traveled on the QM2 in July, and the mask protocols were very strict. The testing and paperwork were a pain, embarkation was a very long and somewhat confusing line, but we persevered. In the end we had the most wonderful time, and we came home healthy and happy!!
Just being on a cruise again after a few years was wonderful--but sailing on the glorious QM2 even better. By the way, we chose the cruise JUST to travel on the ship--we were able to drive to NY, and we have already been to the ports numerous times (although we did take shore excursions at every place!).
Reading threads from some other cruise lines with multiple people catching COVID due to no protocols really made me appreciate all the QM2 rules, and not only that, the goodwill and cooperation of all her passengers.
I would sail her again in a heartbeat, masks and all, but it is back-to-school time now. (I also agree the masks supplied were very comfortable, better than any others I have used.)
