Transcript:
Daniel Kline: Royal Caribbean seems to be two steps forward of Carnival Norwegian, all of the competitors. So, to start with, they’re constructing non-public locations. I am truly proper exterior Coco Cay, which is type of the non-public seashore that modified every little thing.
It has a water park, it has a seashore membership, there’s an adult-only pool. All of these issues price slightly bit of additional cash, however you may as well have an amazing day free of charge. Royal Caribbean is constructing one other Good Day in Cozumel, after which they’re constructing seashore golf equipment in Nassau, Santorini, and Costa Maya.

So, the cruise traces have basically, or no less than Royal Caribbean has, determined that the cruise ship is the vacation spot, and that the locations are sometimes simply going to be an prolonged model of the cruise ship.

So now, irrespective of which Royal Caribbean line you sail on, that is Royal Caribbean, that is Movie star, that is Silversea, you are going to have the ability to resolve the place your loyalty factors get assigned.
Meaning as a loyal Royal Caribbean cruiser, if I’m going on Movie star, I can nonetheless construct up my standing on Royal Caribbean. No different cruise line does that. No different cruise line even matches standing between their very own traces.
It is a recreation changer, and it is going to be a large benefit for Royal Caribbean.
