I'VE NEVER HEARD OF A CRUISE LINE DOING THIS BEFORE

Editorial Summary

The creator discusses an unusual decision by Royal Caribbean regarding the Serenade of the Seas ultimate World cruise. Due to potential missile threats in the Suez Canal area, the cruise line is allowing passengers to vote on an itinerary change rather than making the decision unilaterally. The missed segments include portions of the itinerary involving Jordan, Egypt, Israel, Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey, Greece, and Italy. Passengers are presented with two distinct options. The first, Immersive Africa, features eleven different African countries and twenty ports. The second option, Africa and Greece, offers a smaller African visit combined with stops in Egypt and extensive exploration of the Greek Islands. The creator compares this transparent approach to a previous experience with Norwegian Star, where itinerary changes were made without sufficient passenger input. While noting that voting might create some social tension among passengers with differing preferences, the creator concludes by applauding Royal Caribbean for implementing a majority rules system that provides fairness to the travelers.
