And actually changes are already taking place around, as many new ships are coming out featuring thrilling activities, fantastic dining venues therefore it is inevitable for the cruise lines to change some of the policies to keep up!
Dress code has become less strict. If you traveled few years ago on any cruise ship, you were not allowed to enter the dining in shorts, only on the first and last days when your luggage is packed. But now the smart casual is turning into really casual and formal night no longer requires the suit and some of the cruise lines have cancelled the formal nights at all like it is on the new ships of Viking cruise line.

Power outlets are getting more in numbers, as passengers are traveling more than with one phone or laptop, that's why it is necessary for the cruise ships to enlarge the quantity of power outlets.
Internet had always been expensive onboard and rather slow, and now cruise lines figured out that passengers don't want to be connected to internet but have to be. Now the ships start to get cheaper connections and faster basing on the land.

The all inclusive options are getting wild as well, as cruise lines are struggling with attracting passengers on their ships, that's why they have to give something special instead. Now the major perk is free all inclusive beverage package for booking a cruise on Norwegian, Princess Cruises or Celebrity.

And of course the major demand of the passengers is longer stays onboard, as some of the ships offered short stays. Now the Viking ship was one of the first ones to launch the port stay around 12 hours in Northern Europe. And other cruise lines like Carnival and Princess started to announce their changes in schedule in ports!
