Creator's Key Takeaways

It could be the experience that you want it to be. So, people really do think it's just this huge party and we do have a lot of high energy events.

We really have such incredible food on board the ship and it's really because there's no buffets or main dining room, which I think is really different.

The whole concept of nickel and diming is something really prominent in the cruise industry. We've all kind of heard or maybe even use the term.

You sell what you know, right? And even if you think, 'Oh, well, I'm not really a cruiser or it's not really my thing.'

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use storytelling instead of just selling facts to help clients imagine the experience.
