Royal Caribbean International’s Annual President’s Cruise missed a couple of years, as did we all. During that time, Royal Caribbean went through some things. A lot of things.
Then again, so did their customers, especially the loyal ones who kept trying to rebook and kept getting cancelled.
With that as backstory, the departure of the 2022 RCI President’s Cruise round-trip Seattle to Alaska on Ovation of the Seas marked a milestone in the company’s recovery. There were 4,000 passengers aboard, the majority of them members of RCI’s Crown & Anchor Society, a multi-tier loyalty program for past guests.
They were glad to be back, and the crew, including RCI President & CEO Michael Bayley and many other shoreside senior executives, were glad to see them.
