MASK ON A CRUISE - DID IT SUCK? - Cruise News Update
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides a firsthand account of cruising on the MSC Meraviglia, specifically focusing on the experience of adhering to masking protocols. Having previously sailed on Royal Caribbean and Celebrity cruises where vaccinated travelers were not required to mask, the creator notes that the MSC voyage involved more restrictive rules. Masking was required in most indoor spaces, including the embarkation process, theaters, and lounges, though it was not required while eating, drinking, or being outdoors on the decks and at the private island. The creator shares personal challenges such as forgetting masks when leaving staterooms and the difficulty of taking photographs while masked. Ultimately, the creator concludes that the experience did not suck because they entered the trip with realistic expectations. The video also identifies Norwegian Cruise Line and Celebrity as the two major lines currently allowing vaccinated passengers to cruise without indoor mask requirements in the United States.
