Royal Caribbean Says "Leave Your Mask On"

Royal Caribbean has announced the extension of their mask mandate that was scheduled to expire on January 5th.

• In open-air areas of the ship, unless in a crowded setting

• In the pool or any activity where masks may become wet

• In staterooms when with the same traveling party

• While visiting Perfect Day at CocoCay unless in a crowded setting

• By any guest under the age of 2
