We made new friends onboard who complaint that they had never seen my face...You just have to pretend the masking and social distancing mandates are still in place. Just took mask off to eat and back on right away. Washed hands as much as possible. On Sky Princess transatlantic cruise in March, they didn't have staff to guide people to wash hands before going into the buffet but started to do so towards the second half of the 18-day cruise. Just have to be vigilant…keep an eye on the sick looking and those who cough and sneeze a whole lot.

I did three post covid cruises. Fully vaccinated and always wore our N95 everywhere onboard. Disinfected the cabin before moving in. And then tried to open the balcony door as much as possible for air circulation. Never caught anything.  Greater danger is on airplane and bus tour. 

Princess ships have many dedicated lounges for performances of different genres.  In Celebrity ships you don't…the so-called Entertainment Court or Ensemble Lounge are nothing but corridors with a handful of chairs. Even the Celebrity Central is so small. In the Reflection, they even cut half of the Observation Lounge and has done away with the Quasar nightclub. 

Used wifi when I needed but didn't buy the full journey. You can buy per day...As Platinum, it was $15 per day

Was on Sky transatlantic 9 - 25 March... Wifi ok, pretty fast.

Even without wifi connection but just using the free Medallion Net, could send and receive "text-only" WhatsApp, SMS. Could also use Google search but could not click the links. Even apps were automatically updated since we could get into Google App store.
