5 CONFIRMED Changes To Cruising You’ll See On-Board In 2020-2021

Editorial Summary

The creator outlines five confirmed changes to the cruising experience as lines prepare to resume operations. The first major change involves social distancing through reduced passenger capacity. The creator notes that some lines will operate at 60 percent capacity and that major cruise groups have indicated they can break even with lower occupancy levels. Second, the buffet experience will shift from self-service to crew-served models to maintain hygiene. Third, the use of masks will vary by cruise type, with river cruises likely requiring them more strictly than ocean cruises. Fourth, shore excursions will be modified to include smaller tour groups and more outdoor activities to allow for spacing. Finally, the boarding process will undergo significant medical and sanitary changes. This includes no-touch check-in procedures, temperature screenings, and more detailed health questionnaires. The creator concludes that these measures, along with increased cleaning protocols using hospital-grade disinfectants, are being implemented to ensure passenger health as cruising restarts.
