Creator's Key Takeaways

we actually went out and asked 20,000 affluent Travelers so we we targeted to get the right demographic

our true lens was set on luxury hospitality and not necessarily on luxury cruise

the first word that comes out of people's mouths often is wow because they step into this beautiful stunning lobby

we don't talk about passengers we talk about guests which I think is very respectful

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Conduct market research with focus groups or advisory boards to understand customer needs before launching a brand.
✓Focus on the art of listening and then taking action to build trust and loyalty.
✓Differentiate through nomenclature, such as calling guests 'guests' and crew 'hosts' to emphasize hospitality.
