4 things I think Royal Caribbean should change IMMEDIATELY!

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator identifies four specific areas where Royal Caribbean could implement immediate improvements to enhance the guest experience and operational fairness. First, he suggests including gratuities directly in the cruise fare rather than treating them as an optional add-on, noting that this would provide more transparency and ensure crew members receive their expected compensation without confusion. Second, he proposes an overhaul of the post-cruise survey system. He argues that the current five-star rating scale is flawed because anything less than a perfect score can negatively impact a crew member's job security, leading to pressure on guests for perfect reviews. He suggests a more nuanced grading system similar to academic scales. Third, he recommends a minor technical change to the company website to stop the repetitive pop-up advertisements for the newsletter that appear during every visit. Finally, he advocates for the removal of the towel sign-out policy. He contends that the current system, which charges guests for unreturned towels, is unnecessary and punishes honest passengers for the actions of a few. He concludes that while these are not massive business shifts, they represent practical quality of life changes that would benefit both guests and staff.

Creator's Key Takeaways
I cruise quite often going 10 12 times a year whatever the number happens to be in the given year
Royal Caribbean should include gratuities with the cruise fare instead of making it some kind of an optional add-on price
Anything below five stars is bad if you talk to any crew member they're going to tell you that if you give any rating below five stars it's almost a failing score
Can we please stop having the pop-up ad for the newsletter every single time you visit the website
