Creator's Key Takeaways
Bad behavior that is not put into check or curbed is ruining the experience for everyone else no matter how good your customer service is.
We're sending out this letter to people now. We're not. I'm not. Carnival is sending this letter out to people and what it's doing is it's offending a huge swath of the population that are on these cruises.
The problem is the people enforcing the rules. They're not enforce because we either don't want conflict.
If you don't enforce the rules at the first stop, the rules will never be enforced as you move forward.
