molly361 Posted June 9, 2020 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Just to add another what's gonna happen, I wonder how self assist disembarkation will be handled or if it will still be offered. No social distancing there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfaeric Posted June 9, 2020 #5 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Seems to me that self assist helps keep people apart, since there's a bag in between people. It's a possible improvement by keeping people apart vs. no bags. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovescats5 Posted June 9, 2020 #6 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I like suites first. Makes it easier to book that suite knowing we can get off first. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with your boss. When it's over it's over. Dan would be very happy if they did away with self assist. I don't think it existed back when we first started cruising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredflint Posted June 9, 2020 #11 Share Posted June 9, 2020 self assist saves them $$$ they handle fewer bags, if they could figure out an easy way for us to bring our bags onboard they would. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are within an hour to four hours depending on traffic to Florida Ports. Canaveral, Tampa, Everglades, Miami. We are 15 minutes to Daytona Beach Airport and just over an hour to Orlando. Typically, when we go to Miami, we drive in the day before. My son works in Miami so we generally meet up and go out to eat. Much different on disembarkation. It’s a race to the car to get home.

sillygirl6 Posted June 9, 2020 #13 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I am in no hurry to leave either - breakfast first, then a stroll around the upper deck and by the time I'm ready - the lines are mostly gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadaboutgal Posted June 9, 2020 #16 Share Posted June 9, 2020 They could have several muster drills. Just assign a time and note it on the card. Hey,🙂 they might even be able to do them inside; perhaps in the theater with spaced seating and no one would need to stand outside in the sweltering heat.

Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted June 9, 2020 #20 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I think Self-Assist will be promoted more because it has people’s luggage in fewer hands. More spacing will be needed, though, to ensure social distancing. Maybe a certain number per 30 minute time slot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loman Posted June 9, 2020 #21 Share Posted June 9, 2020 One more reason for me not to cruise for a while . Why bother with all the perceived restrictions . I will wait years for this to get sorted out . No rush for me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Chew Posted June 9, 2020 #25 Share Posted June 9, 2020 2 hours ago, lenquixote66 said: Bathrooms I'm wondering if they will simply close all or some of the public bathrooms to force passengers to go back to their cabins when needed. (which is what we do most of the time, anyway) There are probably regulations about having public restrooms, minimum needed for X number of passengers, locations near restaurants, etc ??
