We were told by customer service that passengers to be seated in row XX 1 and 3 would not keep masks on in the boarding area. They had lowered their masks and B FA spoke with them when doing exit row briefing. Later; I spoke with them and asked them to wear them. The man said; 'I don't agree with wearing masks.'  I reminded them that they agreed when checking in and that is policy. I also told them that it was necessary to protect others sitting around them. They complied; maybe because they slept much of the flight.In addition; many people removed masks when ordering beverages and also when eating and/or drinking.  Frequent requests to wear masks except when eating and drinking occurred throughout flight by all FAs. It is stressful and feels very unsafe for FAs and passengers located nearby.  I believe my safety is compromised when masks are removed and we must go to passenger seat to remind them.
Flight Attendant reported multiple passengers did not comply with face mask policy.
