7 Things That Could Disappear From Cruise Ships (At Least Temporarily)

Editorial Summary

The creator discusses several potential changes to the cruising experience resulting from the coronavirus pandemic. The video outlines seven specific elements that may disappear or be modified to reduce touch points and promote social distancing. These changes include the transition from self-serve buffets to cafeteria-style service where staff members serve the food. The creator also notes that traditional check-in procedures and the frequent use of physical key cards may be replaced by digital or contactless technologies like RFID medallions. To manage crowds, cruise lines might reduce the number of deck chairs around pools and limit the density of people in casinos. Additionally, the video highlights a shift toward more lenient cancellation policies to encourage passengers to stay home if they feel unwell. Finally, the creator suggests that the ability to walk into evening shows without a reservation might be replaced by managed reservation systems to control theater capacity. The video concludes by expressing hope that these adjustments remain temporary measures until the industry can return to normal operations.
