Creator's Key Takeaways

bye-bye buffet and chow cancellation penalties those are just two of the big things that could disappear from cruising

expect the regular swiping of your card to be phased out and cruises in the future

expect those packed pool areas to be thinned out by having fewer deck chairs and more spacing around the top deck of the ship

expect that to stick around for a while this isn't just good for your pocketbook it's actually good for people's health

YouTube Video Description↓

Wondering what cruising will look like when it does return? Given what we're seeing from reopening procedures in places like resorts in Las Vegas, and the recommendations put in place by health authorities, we think there are some common things that could go away... at least until this crisis is past us. It's no guarantee, but here's what's possible... 1. Self-Serve Buffets 2. Traditional Check-In Procedures 3. Regular "Scanned" Keycards 4. Packed Poolsides (more distancing) 5. Harsh Cancellation Penalties 6. Crowded Casinos (more distancing) 7. Packed Theaters (more distancing) Hopefully we'll get through this sooner, rather than later and any disruptions will be short-lived. #cruise
