Normal
Depends on you and your priorities/sensibilities. We used to pack a lot more stuff--including snorkel gear, but now take as little as possible. So far, we haven't had any ill effects from using the gear provided. I ALWAYS redunk the gear in the tub of cleanser but who knows if THAT is all that clean! My guess is that most germs don't live all that long on the rubber surfaces--but maybe that's a bad assumption on my part. Bottom line--if it gives you pause, take your own stuff--the $20 masks work just fine. In addition, in many ports and on board you can usually purchase this gear, but on board stocks tend to be limited, so if you just can't jam in your gear into your luggage, you may be able to purchase it on vacation.
