Mask Requirement during Photo taking

[Finlanda]

Hello! We ordered a photo package and was wondering if mask be taken off during photo taking at the atrium. We sailed last September and mask can be taken off. We are sailing via Dream next week. Any feedback is much appreciated. Thank you!

When we did the Jan 3 sailing on the Dream, masks had to stay on for atrium photos. The only places I saw unmasked photos were outdoors- on the deck by the Aquaduck, and at castaway cay.

Last week on the Fantasy, masks had to stay on for indoor photos.

I don’t see them changing this until cases drop substantially.

On the fantasy now, and masks are required. But I did see they had the formal night photos set up on the deck to avoid the mask issue.

While I'm just a cautious about the Plague as the next person, and I agree with masks for atrium photos, the policy of masks for dinner table photos is just plan dumb.

Think about it - you and your family have been unmasked all meal with your dining team around - that's considered safe. The DCL crew are literally tested daily, so the photographer (who's wearing a mask) is safe. But they insist you put your mask back on for dinner photos. Makes zero sense.

We just got off Fantasy on the 15th and while this was cruise #10 for us, it was the first time we didn't purchase a single photo. We normally buy the photo package. Their loss. (Actually, ours too - we don't get to see them now.)

I just wanted to add it was just so weird during our Fantasy dinners a few weeks ago to have someone come up to the table and politely interrupting to ask if we wanted pictures, then we would have to adjust our seating after digging in our pockets (or where ever a woman with no pocket kept hers) to pose in several configurations and then take off our masks again. It just felt awkward. It felt like you were trying to pose to showcase a mask, like a NYE party hat at midnight.
