That's strange as the Princess website states the following for cruises from Southampton:

"

UPDATED: Will I have to wear a face mask?

Masks are recommended, but not required, in the majority of venues, though they may be required in select venues or situations. This will be clearly designated through signage and onboard communications."

 

From what you're saying that policy isn't being adhered to. 

:

 

Mask were recommended inside, highly recommended in the theatre, but they were not mandatory.
There were some requests early on to wear them when collecting food at the buffet but that's all.

We were on this cruise and wore our masks except when eating and drinking, never used the lifts and used hand sanitiser and washed our hands constantly. Took a lateral flow test on our return on Saturday and both have tested positive! We feel we took every precaution we could and and still ended up with positive lateral flow tests and cold like symptoms…just wondering if anyone else on this cruise has also tested positive on their return.

We had a great cruise and thoroughly enjoyed the facilities of the ship and the excellent weather we had…just don’t like our holiday souvenir!

Oh no that's awful, we tested on fri night before we got off Saturday morning & we tested Sunday also both times negative. 

 

Hope you're feeling better soon.

Happened to us on the Sky Princess ....that's why I think all these protocols are pointless ...and this proves it again !! 

You will be fine with your souvenir ?

Oh dear, sorry to hear that. Did you have symptoms or did you test anyway? We've not tested as we had no symptoms. Like you, we wore our masks as advised. We only went to the theatre once, lasted 3 songs and then left as nearly everyone took their masks off when seated and social distancing wasn't possible.

No symptoms ..just tested on Saturday morning prior to going home as I have elderly relatives. We have since developed cold like symptoms and are still positive 6 days later! Just goes to show no matter how careful you are…we were very careful…never used a lift and avoided any crowded area…only used our cabin toilet…and took every precaution we could. 
Thinking about it not sure how we caught it …still had a fantastic time and ready to book again.
