CRUISE NEWS - ROYAL CARIBBEAN UPDATE, OUR NEXT CRUISE IS, VIRGIN VOYAGE FLEET GETS BIGGER AND MORE
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides several updates regarding the cruise industry, beginning with a milestone for Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas, which has been floated out at a shipyard in Finland. The video also covers the expansion of the Virgin Voyages fleet following the ownership of the Resilient Lady, which is scheduled for a maiden voyage in the Mediterranean in 2023. A significant portion of the discussion focuses on a potential service change by Royal Caribbean on the Quantum of the Seas. The cruise line is reportedly testing a reduction in housekeeping services from two times per day to one time per day, citing sustainability and global hospitality alignment. The creator expresses skepticism regarding this move, suggesting it may be a cost saving measure disguised as a sustainability effort. Finally, the host and guest Don Terrace announce their upcoming travel plans for a Holland America line press junket, which includes a twelve day cruise departing from Sydney, Australia, to visit several cities in New Zealand.
