3 With over 40 years in the cruise industry, I’ve had the privilege of meeting and interviewing many of the leaders shaping our business. But I have to say, I’ve never encountered someone more passionate about their cruise line than John Waggoner, Chairman of Victory Cruise Lines.

6 In this interview, we sit down with Alex Marchant, Director of Entertainment Creative Development & Strategy at Royal Caribbean International, to discuss the addition of America’s Got Talent Live on Stage aboard Legend of the Seas. Alex shares insights into how the production is being adapted for the cruise experience, what guests can expect from the show, and Royal Caribbean’s approach to onboard entertainment.

I’ve cruised on some incredible ships around the world… but there was something about SeaDream I that completely caught me off guard. The service felt personal, the food was next-level, and the entire experience felt more like being aboard a private yacht than a traditional cruise ship.
