lenquixote66 Posted January 6 #1 Share Posted January 6 My perception is that 50 years from now everything on cruises will be serviced by robots.I visualize this for dining rooms as well.Any other opinions ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and you’ll still be paying the daily service fee for robot maintenance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Harters Posted January 7 #4 Share Posted January 7 I suspect that, with the speed of technological development, your estimate of 50 years will probably see us on the third generation of robotic servers. The first generation of restaurant robots is already with us. Although it beats me why the first one in my area is at an all-you-can-eat buffet, when you'd usually serve yourself. Gimmick? https://themanc.com/eats/the-greater-manchester-restaurant-where-youre-served-by-robots/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunarballoon_0 Posted January 8 #6 Share Posted January 8 Holographic sushi and 3D-printed desserts. It was like dining in a sci-fi movie. 😅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very little of that has happened in the past 50 years. There is very little reason to believe that much of that will happen in the next 50 years.

My parents went to the Worlds Fair in 1939.They came home with a three dimensional folder of how Washington DC would look in the year 2000.It was surprisingly accurate.

Rare Lois R Posted January 26 #9 Share Posted January 26 This is probably going to sound a bit harsh but here goes anyway.......I don't care what cruises will be serving in 2074........I am guessing many of us of a certain age won't be around 50 years from now so it doesn't matter to me what is being served.😧 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenquixote66 Posted January 26 Author #10 Share Posted January 26 There is no definitive way to predict how long a person may be on the planet. I had a cousin who passed away in 1968 at age 102.With the scientific advances over the past 56 years anything is possible in my humble opinion.

Seamus6 Posted March 23 #11 Share Posted March 23 The quality of food will continue to decline yet the masses will continue to wolf it down. There may be some automation mostly as a gimmick but since foreign labor will probably continue to remain cheap, I doubt it will affect cruising much. if US laws mandate minimum wages even for foreign workers all the cruise lines will just move to other countries where laws are more favorable.

The cruise lines already moved to other countries for that very reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Posted April 29 #13 Share Posted April 29 The cruise industry changes very, very slowly. Many of the traditional things we did 50 years ago are still in place today. Cruise passengers are also incredibly predictable. You do not like changes very much. The cruise lines know that very well. Cruise companies could splendid big money and lots of time and effort to change the industry completely. But most of you would not be very happy with that. It is much easier and far more profitable to keep things more or less the way they are. Far more cruisers watch “The Love Boat” than the “Jetsons”.
