What I Learned at the BIGGEST Cruise Industry Event of the Year

Wondering about the biggest challenges cruise lines are facing right now? With the recent cruise industry changes in cruise news, I was wondering too! Come behind the scenes with me as we hear about cruise line trends, biggest concerns & solutions. I recently attended Seatrade Cruise Global, a cruise industry conference that is known as the largest cruise industry gathering in the world. We heard from cruise lines like Carnival, Royal Caribbean, MSC & Norwegian Cruise Line, as well as new luxury cruise lines including Explora Journeys. In this video I share what I learned from the various panels & discussions with cruise lines executives, CLIA & many others who are part of the cruise industry. If you're interested in the latest cruise news as a cruise veteran or a first time cruiser, this video will be full of cruise information you'll want to know. All opinions are my own.
