Snacks in Theaters on ships?

Not necessarily. The exposure could have been too recent to show up on the pre-boarding test. That's the biggest problem with relying on testing to "prove" you don't have COVID. It only shows that AT THE TIME THE SAMPLE WAS TAKEN a person wasn't carrying the virus.

* Wasn't carrying enough of the virus to test positive.

Yes.

I just want to eat popcorn in the movie theater on the ship like I can locally. Maybe that will change in 2022.

We are rule followers but the rule that made me shake my head on our cruise was the requirement to wear masks on the open air tram at Castaway Cay. That was silly to me. I thought I heard they weren’t doing that anymore but I don’t know for sure.

I thought the mask requirement for the trams was because they are a form of public transport. Since DCL is voluntarily following rules in place at the home port (PC), the US rule for public transport requiring masks would be imposed. It seems strange since it’s an open-air conveyance, but the mask rule doesn’t seem to distinguish at that level.

It's open air, but whatever germs the family in front is expelling when talking, coughing, breathing are going directly behind them to the people seated in back. Much like being in a crowded space, regardless of being outdoors.

That's what I thought too, that the trams counted as transportation and therefore masks were required (as they are on all forms of transportation. Similar to how masks were required on WDW buses even when masks were optional for everyone at WDW (before they went back to requiring masks indoors).

Yes but its really been shown to need 15 minutes of exposure in a closed space...my guess in more in open air.

Those estimates were based on data from before the Delta variant, though.

Anyway, I always wore my mask on the tram, but plenty of other folks didn't and nobody seemed to be enforcing masks there. They did enforce masks at the shops, though.

Right, which to me makes the tests not very useful unless the test is administered daily. I'm in no way advocating for a daily test.

I get what you all are saying but we did NOT have to wear masks while on the small boats at WDW that go from MK to the GF and the Poly so what is the difference? Unless it is a Bahamian rule. It is an open air tram and every other row were being filled. We stood next to people closer and longer while waiting for the tram and did not need the mask on line but as soon as you get on the tram you must wear a mask. Doesn't make sense.

Many covid rules don’t make sense and that leads to non compliance
