Creator's Key Takeaways
None of the cruise lines at the uh state of the cruise uh big panel with all of the CEOs and the top people at the big cruise companies uh that happens on day one.
My biggest takeaway from Sea Trade is the impression that all of the cruise lines large and small are giving that cruising is all grown up.
One of the cruise line CEOs even said, "We've gotten past the stage where we get up on this stage and we mythbust. We talk about it's not all older people and it's not all buffets."
It's amazing to me every time I come to Sea Trade how many more unique, niche, and targeted ways there are to cruise.
