Creator's Key Takeaways

When you look around Instagram, Tik Tok, or YouTube for cruise stuff, including Royal Caribbean, odds are you're going to run across content that's been made by influencers

I pay for about 90% of my cruises, 95%. The only time I ever go on a free cruise or royal is when there's a new ship that's coming out

The best brands that let you stay true to your voice are the ones that are continuing to succeed in the market
