Creator's Key Takeaways

social distancing will happen however the way it will happen is by reducing capacity

all customer facing crew will be wearing masks passive is going to be asked to wear masks when it's hard to socially distance

more and more of a move into no touch experiences so increased pressure requirements to check in on line

lots of checking lots of pre-screen to make sure that when people board the ship they're as healthy as they possibly can be

Creator's Tips & Advice

Expect reduced capacity on cruises to enable social distancing
Be prepared for served buffets instead of self-service
Follow mask policies as directed by cruise lines
Use online check-in and arrive at specific times to minimize congregation
Comply with hand gel use and temperature checks during boarding
