Palace Resorts has posted their new health and safety rules for guests and staff.  It appears to be very comprehensive; I wonder whether other resorts will follow suit or adopt some of these measures.

Here are some of the more relevant measures for guests:

• no buffets
• swimup bars will be closed
• number of people in elevators will be limited (I don’t know how this will play out since one typically cannot stand six feet apart within a typical elevator)–long waits for elevators?
• social distancing enforced while waiting in lines
• nightclubs, bars, kid’s clubs, and fitness centers will have a maximum guest capacity
• show attendees will be seated with respect to social distancing
• indoor/outdoor soft furnishings will be placed with respect to social distancing–does that mean there will be less pool and beach loungers which makes them harder to acquire?
• incoming guest luggage will be disinfected
• guests are encouraged to do more things with their online app–look at menus, online check-in, etc.
• all guests will be asked to sign a declaration of health

There are many other measures, most of which address what will be required of resort employees. If you want to read more, check out this link.
