Months after the mandate was scrapped for guests, cruise management said that “out of an abundance of caution” the health measure would return to “adapt to the evolving public health situation”.
Carnival Corporation brands include: P&O Cruises Australia, Princess Cruises, Carnival Cruise Line, Cunard, Holland America Line, Seabourn and P&O Cruises World Cruising.
Masks are now required onboard in all public indoor spaces, outdoors when in large groups where physical distancing cannot be secured and also during the entire embarkation and debarkation process.
“We can confirm that mask wearing is being applied on board all Carnival Corporation brand ships operating in Australia and the region as an additional safeguard in light of the current rate of covid-19 in the general community,” a Carnival Australia spokesperson said.
