The insider perspective is something I like to bring to listeners of Tips For Travellers whenever I can. In this episode I am pleased to be able to share with you the thoughts of Michael Bayley, who is the President and CEO of Royal Caribbean International cruise line.I recorded these on board the Anthem of the Seas during the naming ceremony cruise out of Southampton. During the sailing Michael held a question and answer session with the press, and I have pulled out some highlights from that that I thought listeners would be interested in. You will hear what he had to say about:

• Dynamic Dining
• Changes and challenges in meeting the needs of a growing international audience of cruisers
• How the Anthem differs from other Quantum Class ships in the fleet and the costs involved
• How and why the Wi-Fi is better than all the rest of the cruising industry combined
• The thinking and approach on gratuities and fares
• Entertainment
• How they decide to refurbish, sell and replace ships
• Thoughts on the value of cruising, especially versus land-based actions.

I hope you find his thoughts as interesting as I didFor more of my coverage on Royal Caribbean visit TipsForTravellers.com/RoyalCaribbean
