Creator's Key Takeaways

Royal Caribbean executives call it the future of cruising. But many loyal cruisers are calling it the beginning of the end

Short cruises are incredibly profitable with higher nightly rates, faster turnover, and more drink packages sold

Many Diamond, Diamond Plus, and Pinnacle members feel that Royal Caribbean is no longer valuing their loyalty

For travelers with limited vacation time or busy work schedules, these short cruises are perfect
