In what will probably result in some of the longest buffet lines in human history, the cruise industry expects to set record highs in the new year, predicting more than 32 million passengers to set sail in 2020.

In its annual State of the Cruise Industry Outlook, the Cruise Lines International Association announced that the number of passengers aboard cruise ships has increased 67.5% over the last decade. The 32 million travelers will be spread out across 278 ships, 19 of which will be new, and they’ll spend about $101 in every port they visit.
