Royal Caribbean International has extended its face mask policy through January 31, 2022, as the COVID-19 Omicron variant continues to surge around the world.

Previously, the line had updated its face mask policy on December 17, to be in effect through today, January 5.

In an email to guests booked on cruises this month, the line said that it is “prudent to temporarily tighten our onboard health protocols to require masks indoors at all times, unless actively eating or drinking”…

Going along with its face mask requirement extension, Royal Caribbean has also extended its ban on smoking in the casino through January 31.
