The CDC relaxed the mask requirement for cruisers while eating meals and while outside for vaccinated passengers.  I can't stand masks either and will only wear one when required by a business.  I remove it as soon as possible.  I haven't had to wear one since the grocery stores have relaxed their rules, but I will this weekend when flying.

So we would still have to wear a mask a majority of the time if not in our cabin as it stands right now.....no thanks.  

But please note this element in the CSO Operations Manual:

• For ships with at least 95% of crew and 95% of passengers fully vaccinated, cruise ship operators, at their discretion, may advise passengers and crew that they do not have to wear a mask or maintain physical distance in any areas.

That's why a fully vaxxed cruise is so enticing.

Who knows what it will be in a month.

I agree that since the CDC has different rules for vaccinated and unvaccinated sailings, that vaccinated sailings are definitely more appealing to those of us who are vaccinated and aren't sailing with small children.
