Changes Royal Caribbean Made In 2025 That I DON’T Like

Editorial Summary

The creator discusses five specific changes implemented by Royal Caribbean in 2025 that he finds disappointing. He begins by criticizing the relocation of comedy performances from dedicated comedy clubs to large main theaters to make room for non-smoking casinos, arguing that the theater setting lacks the intimacy and energy required for effective comedy. He also addresses the removal of the Broadway musical Mamma Mia from Harmony of the Seas and Independence of the Seas without a confirmed Broadway replacement, expressing concern that in-house productions cannot match the polish of licensed shows. Regarding destinations, he notes the continued absence of Labadee due to the situation in Haiti, which he describes as a loss for regular cruisers. The creator also expresses confusion over the decision to refresh Liberty of the Seas without adding the popular Playmakers sports bar, especially since the space currently occupied by a photo gallery could be repurposed for profit. Finally, he observes that Black Friday 2025 sales lacked the deep discounts seen in previous years, advising viewers to book based on price rather than waiting for specific holiday sales. Despite these grievances, he maintains his overall love for the cruise line.
