CRUISE NEWS - MASKS ARE BACK ON CRUISE SHIPS

i was just on holland america on the rotterdam and as we were stepping on board we were handed a piece of paper saying you had to now wear a mask on board in all indoor venues and any place on the outside decks that you weren't able to social distance

i'm very nervous now that i'm going to be going to spain i paid you know with my i'm going with my friend alicia it's a really nice cruise we're on a brand new ship looking to have a really good vacation this is my vacation cruise it's not a working cruise it's my vacation cruise and if they say you gotta wear a mask on board i am really not going to be happy about it at all

i just had to experience on my travels home having to wear a mask in the airport and on planes for 22 hours straight not being able to take it off at any time except to take a quick sip of pop um and by the end my ears around my here were beat sore to the point where i almost had a an earache from the the pressure on the mask pulling down on it

it's not fun it's not good for the cruise lines they don't want to do it but they have to do it to keep things going and right now they are so short on staff members on the cruise ships themselves that they're trying to do whatever they can to limit the possibility of losing more crew members
