It's laughable to recall how many guests blatantly eschewed the few hand sanitizer stations placed around cruise ships. Now, you can expect to wash your hands often because everyone will be taking personal hygiene much more seriously amid coronavirus concerns. The next time you cruise, you'll see sanitizer dispensers in every corridor and entranceway, and possibly crews handing out disinfectant wipes as you step onboard. And when you are ready to climb onboard again, check out the 27 Mistakes You Should Avoid When Booking a Cruise.

One of the joys of cruising is that absolutely everything is taken care of on your behalf. No cooking, no clean-up. So it's not an uncommon sight to see a random coffee mug abandoned on a sundeck table, empty wine glasses in the library, or a stack of plates left outside a stateroom.

Frequent cruisers are all too familiar with the pre-boarding public health questionnaire that has simple yes or no answers to fess up any flu-like symptoms. However, a more rigorous screening process will definitely be put into place post-pandemic. As an example of what's to come, Princess Cruises has enhanced health tests that "may include a thermal scan to check temperatures, and in some cases secondary screenings."

Raise your hand if you love onboard shopping during at-sea days. Same. But to reduce frequent touch points between guests, it's likely those beloved cosmetic and fragrance testers will be shelved for the foreseeable future. Instead, cruisers can expect to see shop clerks offering to apply makeup samples in a more controlled one-on-one approach.

The complimentary coffee and tea station is a beacon of light during early morning ports of call, but you won't be filling up on caffeine quite so easily for the time being. Those self-serve stations will likely transition to crew-served beverages to reduce crowding in tight spaces and minimize touch points. There may even be an option to have your cup of joe delivered right to your room when you wake up. Or, cruise lines could take a page from Royal Caribbean and offer Starbucks cafés or other coffee shops onboard.

To follow social distancing guidelines, cruises will have enhanced protocols for embarkation day and excursion meeting areas, along with staggered entrance times for entertainment venues. Travelers will check in online prior to embarkation and follow a process like Carnival's arrival appointment times, which "make for a calmer, less crowded experience for everyone."

During quarantine, we've all become accustomed to enhanced personal space. This trend will continue as cruise ships shift away from public lounges and toward more private experiences for guests, a perk that used to be available only to a select few. Dining rooms, for instance, will likely take a note from Princess Cruises and follow a scheduled seating, where guests "enjoy the same table with the same company and wait staff throughout your voyage."

If you've ever wandered over to the hot tubs for a soothing dip only to find it overrun with fourth-graders, you won't be complaining about this post-pandemic change. Moving forward, cruisers are more likely to see enforced hot tub and pool regulations, strictly limiting the amount of bathers and ensuring underage children are accompanied by a supervising adult.
