Whatever your "facts" and "feelings", I am required to wear a mask under those circumstances. You may consider it pointless (many other medical professionals would disagree with you) but that won't carry much weight with Cunard, or other carriers that require the wearing of a mask.
And to claim that your calling the minority who chose to wear a mask at the Sharon "incredibly stupid" is educational! Thank goodness you went into medicine, not teaching.

First of all, I didn't call ANYONE incredibly stupid. I posed a question, of which that was one possible answer. That answer ONLY applies to those that go into a crowded venue with a paper mask and believe/think/feel that they are protecting themselves. BTW, the "medical professionals" that would disagree with me are WRONG. As far as your cruise goes, of course you have to follow the rules of the cruise line, no one would suggest that you shouldn't (of course, when you get there, you will probably run into quite a few that will ignore that rule. Too bad, since a recent cruise that required 2 shots, a booster, and a negative test 72 hours prior STILL had 100+ passengers come down with COVID. I have no idea if any of them were sick and no idea why they would test anyone during the cruise that wasn't sick, but it goes to show nothing is 100% safe) Finally, have a great time on your cruise!!!! Bon Voyage!!!!
