Editorial Summary

The creator discusses a suspicious phone call she received from an individual claiming to represent a cruise line she recently reviewed. The caller, identified as Joseph Hernandez, requested that she remove her honest review video from her channel. During the conversation, the caller attempted to defend the cruise line regarding several points, including the necessity of in-person safety drills, a new three percent fee for using cruise cards in the casino, and increased gratuities for crew members. The creator notes that the caller's arguments often lacked logic, such as suggesting passengers use cash despite the cruise line being a cashless system. The interaction became heated when the caller claimed to have been on fifteen cruises with the company to justify his stance on crew happiness. The creator concludes that the caller was likely not a legitimate company representative but rather an angry fan, noting that he revealed his true identity by speaking as a customer rather than a corporate official. She emphasizes that her reviews are based on specific experiences rather than a dislike for the cruise line itself.

Creator's Key Takeaways

I got a phone call today from someone claiming to be from a cruise line saying they wanted me to take down my video.

I've been on 135 cruises they haven't all been the best cruise in the world they all haven't been the worst cruise in the world.

He said I've been on 15 cruises with that cruise line and the crew has always been great and that's where I had him.
