Most likely "restrictions" in many venues.  Maybe masks.  In other words, making ships a place many won't choose to be except the most die hard of cruisers.  We are borderline die hard cruisers, but not enough to wear masks or put up with many restrictions.  We'll move on to other travel in that case.

Couldn’t have said it better we feel the same.  We like to cruise but will find other ways to travel.

Yes the experience of sailing on a ship and looking out to the sea is truly awesome experience and it will be great when it comes back with the whole cruise experience

However would it not be possible for these cruise lines, when they are in port to open up as floating hotel without sailing - yes you won't get to see the different places but it means the cruise lines would be able to get some revenue from it.

At the end of the day the cruise ships are a luxury hotel resort with all the entertainment and as long as entertainment is avaialble and the beer is cold then....

There are masks, and then there are masks.
We are being told to protect by wearing a mask that can be fabricated out of simple cloth.

This is not a mask a medical professional would wear.

Early on we were told that wearing a mask will not provide any protection, therefore masks are not needed.

"Besides, Masks are needed for the protection  of health care personnel."

They contradicted themselves in the same sentence.

 

A cloth mask does not protect yourself from pathogens. It is nothing more than covering your mouth if you sneeze or cough.

I am a health care professional, and I am issued on a weekly basis, enough masks to get me through the week.

If you go to Amazon, etc, these masks are not presently available.

People who are high risk with sever underlying co-morbidities, may also be issued appropriate masks through their Drs, or from their support clinics - groups.

 

From what I have read, RCI is designing a mask to b=e used bit their passengers. I guarantee they will not be cloth.

 

How many passengers will want to wear a mask on a cruise?  

End of cruising for us masks, no buffet, what about pool?  Doesn’t sound like fun to me.
