Masks when having official photos onboard

[misslottie]

Hoping someone can please help with this question - just wondering if you are having a photo taken by the ship photographers (formal night or embarkation photo for example), can you take your mask off for a few moments while it is taken?

 

Many thanks in advance.

Yes.

Though be sure to get at least a few pics with the masks on. These are going to be cruises to remember.

Yes, you can take off, you can’t catch COVID while getting pictures, drinking etc…everyone knows that..

 

Just get rid of the masks like your sister company did…

.. What ?

[misslottie]

Sorry, just to check - those of you saying you can take off masks, is this experience as you have sailed recently?

 

Edit: checking as we will cancel our package if masks are required in photos. This is our honeymoon and would like some nice pics. Normally wouldn’t bother but as it’s a special occasion 🥂

 

Should also point out, we are happy to wear masks all other times!

Who in the world would pay money for a bunch of pictures with your faces obscured by a mask??  🤣

No masks for photos on independence in late August.

Yes, 2 weeks ago on Ovation.

And, on a recent cruise, our photographer suggested we takeoff our silicone vaccination band.

Yes of course you take off your masks for the embarking security photo; and also you pull it aside to show your face whenever you get on and off at ports.

Do you really think RCI is going to risk loosing the income from photos by not letting people take their masks off all in the name of safety? You just have to keep your mouth shut and pinch your nose closed.

what does this mean ?

Not quite sister, but Celebrity is under the RCG umbrella and has looser mask mandates.

When you get on a ship, in the USA, you will find the majority of the ship areas, will be for vaccinated guests, and you will not have a mask on.  So.....any pictures you take, will not be required to have a mask on because you will be socially distanced from others, most likely have a vaccine, and the photographer will also have a vaccine.  You will find on the ship, your mask will be off 75% or more of the time.

And they also don't allow anyone under 12 to cruise, so they meet the 95%+ threshold for being fully vaccinated.

All/most of the picture taking areas are in indoor public spaces (open to unvax) where mask should be worn.

We will be on board on Halloween.   I plan on getting plenty of photos of our group in full costume including MASKS.

My son and daughter-in-law got married last October. When we did all of the traditional wedding party photos, we had our masks off. We did, however, take a few with our masks on. 50 years from now when they look back at the pictures, they'll remember the things we were going through at that time.
