10 BIG CRUISE DIFFERENCES - WHAT IT IS LIKE TO CRUISE IN 2021 - ADVENTURE OF THE SEAS

Editorial Summary

The creator provides a detailed account of cruising on Adventure of the Seas in 2021, highlighting eleven specific changes compared to previous experiences. He begins by describing a modified check-in process that occurred at a hotel rather than a cruise terminal, followed by mandatory pre-cruise COVID-19 testing. Other notable changes include sanitized luggage marked with stickers, significantly reduced ship capacity, and the absence of a traditional gangway. The creator also details the implementation of an electronic muster process via a mobile app and strict physical distancing measures throughout the ship, such as limited seating in theaters and spacing at casino tables. He notes that reservations became much more pervasive, required even for buffet access. Additionally, the buffet service changed, with no dinner service available. The final points cover mandatory testing for re-entry into the United States and the requirement for crew members to wear face coverings. Despite these logistical shifts and the stress of waiting for test results, the creator concludes that the cruise was a fabulous and successful experience.
