🚢 Cruise Ship Comparison: Icon of the Seas vs. Mariner of the Seas 🚢 As a travel enthusiast and cruise aficionado, I’m thrilled to share an exciting ship comparison! Let’s dive into the fascinating differences between the Icon of the Seas and the Mariner of the Seas. 🌊⚓ Icon of the Seas: Size: The Icon of the Seas is an extra-large ship, stretching 1,198 feet long and standing 216 feet wide—that’s roughly the length of 3.3 football fields and as wide as 4.1 tractor-trailers! It’s even as tall as an 18-story building (excluding Titanic’s towering funnels). Gross Tonnage: A whopping 250,800 tons, making it the largest cruise ship in the world. Passenger Decks: With 18 decks, it offers ample space for exploration. Dining Venues: Prepare your taste buds for 81% more dining options than the Mariner of the Seas. From Starbucks to Celebration Table, the Icon has it all. Mariner of the Seas: Size: The Mariner of the Seas, while still impressive, is considered a medium-sized ship. At 1,020 feet long and 157 feet wide, it’s approximately the length of 2.8 football fields and as wide as 3 tractor-trailers. Its height matches that of a 14-story building. Gross Tonnage: A respectable 139,863 tons. Passenger Decks: It offers 14 decks for your cruising pleasure. Dining Options: The Mariner boasts 16 dining choices, including Chops Grille and Johnny Rockets. Food and Restaurants: Icon: With 13 additional dining venues, including Starbucks and Surfside Eatery, the Icon caters to every culinary craving. Mariner: While it has fewer options, more of its restaurants are included in the base cruise fare, potentially saving you money. In summary, whether you’re drawn to the grandeur of the Icon or the cozy charm of the Mariner, both ships promise unforgettable adventures on the high seas. Bon voyage! 🌟🛳️ #HumbleAdventures #CruiseLife #TravelEnthusiast

Hoteliers, your activities and experiences are not just ‘extras’ They're brand statements, That also generate revenue How? Through what we’re calling the “Extend & Enhance” Method. The experiences you select as part of your programming “extend and enhance“ the positioning of your brand. They Enhance by demonstrating that your brand’s actions and efforts are consistent to your concept and core DNA. They Extend by engaging with the local community and showing an integrated ecosystem between on-property and off-property communities. Think about a wine tasting event at an off-property vineyard: It says, “We value nuance, refinement, and sophistication — and want to showcase our regional terroir.” Or consider a hiking initiative with a local tour guide: It says, “We value and respect our environment, history, and exploration.” Hotel activities and experiences are not just about filling up guests time. They define the brand, overall guest experience, and the hotel’s orientation and sense of place within the larger community. How have you been using your experience programming to elevate your brand and drive revenue? #guestexperience #boutiquehotel #independenthotel #hospitalitybranding #hospitalitydesign

To be honest, I love both! If I'm feeling more introverted (which is 90% of the time) I'll lean towards a river cruise. I love the smaller size of the ships, the leisurely pace, spacious staterooms, and the unique intimacy they offer, especially if I'm traveling solo.     On the other hand, if I'm feeling a little more extroverted and I'm looking for more onboard activities and more dining and entertainment options I'll lean towards an ocean cruise.     They both have pros and cons.

YOU'LL LOVE A RESORT VACATION IF YOU ...Want Everything to be Included On a cruise, you can go without spending extra, but often, you do splurge on drinks, shore excursions, and more. In contrast, all-inclusive resorts cover nearly everything: luxurious rooms, round-the-clock room service, fine dining, Wi-Fi, even top-shelf spirits in your room, all bundled in your stay's cost. The only potential extra costs might be spa treatments or exclusive dining experiences. #AmazingMemoriesTravel

Today is #WorldBartenderDay. 🍸 As a hospitality technology company, there's only one way to look at this: what does the future of the hotel bar look like? While robot bartenders may never become mainstream, don't be surprised to see certain types of hotels implementing this technology to help streamline their cocktail-crafting process. Anyway, a negroni for me, please... Video credits to Vital Vegas, via YouTube. #TRAVHOTECH #Hospitality #HospitalityTechnology #Hoteliers #LasVegas #VegasHotels
