Back to the original topic: we had a late February cruise on the Dream and weren’t at all bothered by the masks. I will say it would have been nice to get more inside pictures without masks, but generally everyone seemed to comply with the rules and didn’t have an attitude. But there were only 1600 people on our sailing, so maybe everyone was just so happy to have extra space that they couldn’t be bothered to complain about masking. It doesn’t seem unreasonable for DCL to loosen up at this point. And they seem to be doing it carefully (still requiring masks on unvaccinated kids in the kid club).

My wife and I sailed on a non-DCL ship in January, and all of the testing prior to our departure, including the test at the port prior to boarding was incredibly stressful. It was probably the worst part of the whole experience. We were able to sail, but it was indeed nerve-wracking.

I wonder when they will open the kids clubs fully so you don't have to have them reserved.

We were on the Dream 2/21-25. There was an actual line for the two pools. They capped how many people could be in at once. I think it was 12 or 13, so the line was often long. You got to swim until the lifeguard blew their whistle then everyone got out and the next group got in. It seemed okay to me, but the kids did get frustrated when they had to wait a few rounds.
