8 Things Cruise Lines Don't Want Us To Tell You!
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators outline eight significant changes and potential challenges for travelers considering a cruise in 2021. They explain that passengers may experience reduced onboard products, including less live entertainment, fewer crew members, and potential cuts to food quality or quantity. Due to health protocols, travelers should expect mandatory mask wearing, social distancing, and increased reliance on mobile phones for services like dining and shore excursions. The creators also warn of logistical uncertainties, such as last minute cruise cancellations, itinerary changes due to local government regulations, or trips ending abruptly if COVID-19 is detected on board. Financial considerations are also highlighted, noting that cruise prices have increased significantly compared to previous years and that specialized insurance covering COVID-19 is becoming a requirement for boarding. Despite these potential negatives, the creators suggest looking for the silver lining, noting that reduced ship capacity may lead to a more relaxed environment with fewer crowds. They conclude by encouraging travelers to remain prepared and to maintain a positive attitude while supporting the cruise industry.
