Masks on Cruises from the UK

[Andrea1]

Hi. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on when the mask mandate on Cruises from the UK might end.

The reason I ask is that we are on the Iona at the moment and there is so much open space it seems unnecessary to have to wear masks everywhere, such as going down empty corridors.

We have been in the restaurants and some of the tables are only about 12 inches apart, so there is no real social distancing. And you can remove your mask as soon as you sit down.

It all seems to be a bit overly cautious to me.

Any thoughts?

I personally think they will keep masks for a long time on cruise lines, especially those that aren't fully vaccinated, as a precaution.
