Royal Caribbean BANS This, NCL CEO Out & Cruisers Removing Tips?!
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator discusses several recent developments within the cruise industry, beginning with Royal Caribbean's new policy regarding wearable technology. Unlike MSC Cruise Line, which has implemented a total ban on smart glasses with cameras, Royal Caribbean is restricting their use to specific areas such as medical facilities, kids clubs, casinos, and public restrooms. The video then shifts to leadership and policy changes at Norwegian Cruise Line. Following the resignation of CEO Harry Sommer, the company has appointed Juan Chidzi, a leader with a background in the food industry. Additionally, Norwegian is implementing stricter dress codes for specialty and main dining rooms, prohibiting items like tank tops for men, hoodies, and certain types of denim. The creator also addresses reports regarding Royal Caribbean's Perfect Day Mexico project, noting that while some claim construction has halted due to legal injunctions, the company states that official construction has not yet begun and current activity involves the demolition of an old water park. Finally, the creator reviews poll results concerning cruise gratuities, revealing that approximately 20 percent of surveyed cruisers remove their assigned tips, with a portion of those individuals choosing to tip more or less than the original amount.
