    Royal should give you access to more behind the scenes content. Interview and engage with other cruise members on the ships....as well as ship leadership. It would give more transparency into this world as a Royal cruise customer myself.

    Nice VIdeo Bryan! :)
    As a Musician on a German Cruise Ship I'm really excited to see the differences between our crew life. I must say that I'm really sad to see a privilege matrix - it feels like some crew members are better than others^^ Is that a thought that comes up in the crew? Because to me it doesn't make any sense to allow only some crew members to eat for free in a buffet restaurant while others have to pay for it?

  • @EvisuGaming
    @EvisuGaming 18 дней назад

    Newer subscriber here- looking forward to hanging with you on the Inaugural sailing in about 1.5 weeks! We booked Mason Jar on night 3 for 6pm dinner (let us know if you think we should pick a diff time to catch your set)

    • @BryanJamesCruises
      @BryanJamesCruises  17 дней назад

      Cool! Eating at the mason jar is a different vibe than hanging out there, it's a different section of the room. So if you wanted to come listen to the music and hang then I'd recommend coming at any time in the evening to the bar side
