Sights & Sounds of Ocean City

May 5, 2020

People repeatedly remark it is often early morning on the beach in Ocean City which is their favorite time of the day. A time when everything is new, and the day is full of potential. A time of peacefulness and contemplation. As the sun makes its first appearance, there is the possibility that anything can happen on this new day. Whether you are sitting on the balcony of your ocean front hotel or condo enjoying the peace and quiet before the kids wake up, or taking a solitary walk along the beach, coffee in hand, it is a wonder that never ceases to amaze. Today more than ever, we appreciate this feeling of optimism, so we have put together a collection of sunrise and early morning photos for you to enjoy, until it is safe for you to be here in person to fully appreciate the wonders of a sunrise over the ocean in Ocean City Md.

Trimper’s is Getting Ready and We Can’t Wait

Trimper’s is Changing and We Have the Pics to Prove It!

We have been hearing a lot about changes going on at Trimper’s Rides, and OceanCity.com has the behind the scenes pictures to show you many of the changes happening at the historic amusement park. Antoinette Bruno, Trimper’s President, escorted us through the property and showed us the progress of the changes. Beyond the gates of Trimper’s Amusement park many changes have happened and more are still to come.

“You can see there is a lot of work needed, and we are excited to do it. We are excited to create a new welcoming place for our guests.” ~Antoinette Bruno, Trimper’s President

Guests of Trimper’s can expect:

Many parts of the park, inlet village, and Trimper’s housing rehabbed and painted
New rides
New Logo (TBA)
Thrill pass swipe cards
Fresh black top
A new party room
More food choices
And more! All coming to Trimper’s to enhance the guest experience!

Here is a finished project – the new black top. It is ready for all the rides to come in.

One the new rides, “HANG TEN,” waiting to be placed in the park.

The game booths along the boardwalk are all rehabbed with brand new roll doors. The interior spaces have been redone as well.

Antoinette told us that the housing above the game booths are part of the renovations. Exterior rooms will be for families and the interior rooms will be student housing. Beautiful soothing beach themed colors have been chosen as part of the revitalization of the spaces.

All the housing is being repainted. Antoinette proudly told us, “We are going to have the best student housing in Ocean City!”

New flooring will be installed in some rooms while others will have the original hardwood floors sanded and refinished.

The Inlet Village is part of the Trimper’s property. Details like replacing and painting the wood flower boxes that edge the buildings is all part of the process to reinvigorate the the village.

Here you can see the entire length of the box has been replaced and getting ready for paint. A crew member said they were going to be painting the eaves above next.

The bathrooms in the village are currently being fitted with new plumbing.

Another item on the list of to be revamped shiny and new for all of Trimper’s fans is the logo. Bruno told us she is currently running a logo contest on designcloud.com. So save this pic to remember what the logo looked like and get excited for the new and approved logo.

Some of the items on the list happen every year. The repainting of the carousel by Miss Maria is one of them. Here Miss Maria is seen giving the pig a touch-up. She told us that she has been tasked with painting the carousel for the past 40 years. Her love for this project is only exceeded by her talent.

Walking the grounds we found, employees of Trimpers all over were all doing their best to prepare for the new season. We asked to take a picture of Glen, an employee that just celebrated 50 years of service with Trimpers. Congratulations Glen! What an accomplishment!

To help all our viewers prepare for the new season we snagged pics of iconic locations throughout the grounds. We added them to our Zoom backgrounds gallery. Click here to pick your favorite.

Please let us know what you are going to do first when you get to Trimper’s. Will you take a ride on the carousel? Brave the rollercoaster? Or is there another tradition for you at Trimper’s that is your favorite?

Then and Now, Recent Changes in Ocean City

Then and Now, Recent Changes in Ocean City

The resort of Ocean City is, and always has been, ever evolving. Because of the limited amount of space on the island, older buildings are continually being pulled down to make way for new construction. Some visitors love the new hotels with modern facilities, others miss the older buildings which hold precious childhood memories. Whatever your thoughts, this trend is bound to continue, as Ocean City moves with the times, although organisations are around to ensure some precious historic buildings are preserved, restored and revitalized to create a sense of character and charm in our town for locals and visitors alike. Here are just a few examples of the recently changing environment in Ocean City Md.

Princess Royale Oceanfront Resort

Making Changes Due to Covid-19

“The pandemic changed the world, and how we operate,” says Kyle Johnson, General Manager of the Princess Royale Oceanfront Resort.

Johnson spoke with us about the new procedures that the Princess Royale has put in place due to the covid-19 crisis. The resort took these steps out of concern for the safety of guests and associates. They looked at recommendations for best practices from industry groups and the guidelines laid out by state and national organizations to protect everyone. Staff will be wearing appropriate PPE(personal protective equipment)- masks & gloves. Staff will also have their temperatures checked before they go to work areas each day. Other operational changes to ensure health and safety for guests and staff has been implementing staggering of shifts to make sure not too many people are together and less than 10 people in a meeting.

Check-in and Check-out

Traditional check-in and check-out will go away. All process of check-in and out will be in advance or online. No more pens for a signature or credit cards exchanged at the desk. Guests will be told when their room is ready by text and/or phone calls. Now guests can pull up to the front door and be met by attendants that have their key ready. The Princess still has card keys but is looking to replace this system until then the keys will be a one time use.

Housekeeping Throughout Resort

Johnson told us , “The Princes Royale already had a very good process for housekeeping team,” but cleaning protocols will change. They will not just be cleaning but making sure sanitizing and disinfecting happen, with focus on high touch areas. Public areas like elevators will now be cleaned more often throughout the day and night. The resort removed things that cannot be cleaned or easily replaced from rooms such as room directories. Directories will be going digital; information found in the directory will be on app or the website. Other items you won’t see at the resort anymore are house phones or door handles to the public restroom since they were high touch places. Room turnover will also include replacing everything in a room that can be replaced and all linens and pillows are bagged and machine washed right away. Housekeeping’s daily room cleaning will only happen when the guest is not in the room. Guests can opt out of daily cleaning too if they would prefer. Electro static sprayers were purchased. They cover surfaces better than conventional sprayers and will be used in rooms and throughout resort. ESS allow for less contact too as associates can spray an area and not need to wipe it down.

Food and Beverage

Due to social distancing that will need to be maintained, food service will change. The kitchen will be open. The restaurant and bar will not be open. The resort will offer a grocery delivery program. When you arrive in your room your refrigerator will be fully stocked if you request it. Room service will be offered. Outdoor dining will be offered when the weather is nice, and tables will be placed far enough apart to maintain social distancing. The atrium is being looked at as an option for dining since tables could be placed far enough apart. We asked if the restaurant would be opened at a later date, but Johnson said not this year. “We don’t feel that would be the best experience for guests to need to sit every other booth. The atrium, outdoor dining, and our ballroom allow for the social distancing. That is a safer and more attractive environment. We want to create an escape for them as best we can.” The resort plans to partner with other local restaurants that could offer food delivery or dining services as another way to make the guest experience more enjoyable too.

Other Amenities Changes

The Spa will not be open right away and the Princess is waiting on timelines from the government about when it can open and services offered.

Children’s Activities will be offered. They will be smaller groups of kids and done outside.

The resort currently is creating a small arcade room. They will be making sure the number of people inside the arcade is limited.

Pools are currently closed. The Princess is waiting on guidance about this as well. They need to find out how many people will be allowed in a pool.

With new changes Johnson said, “We are excited to get people back to work and get our guests back into Ocean City in a safe and responsible way. We could still have a really good summer. We are optimistic and hopeful for a bright future for us all.
