    Royal definitely took it to the next level with these crew areas. Happy crew means happy guests. A special shout out to the crew bar, every bit as nice as any guest bar. Outstanding!

    It nice to see that royal Caribbean shows how they appreciate the hard work the crew members do for them. Cheers to a great cruise line.

    It's good that RCL has upgraded the crew neighborhood just as they are doing for the passengers. It is more important for the crew because of how long your contracts are.

    It's so great how RC values its crew members. This is a LUXURIOUS cafeteria and lounge!

      @lw3158 2 місяці тому +2

      They could improve on that crew value by giving them internet access for free. I think it’s appalling that they don’t. Keep up the great work Chris Wong!

    Wow! Chris, you have hit the Crew Member Jackpot!!! That crew neighborhood is nicer than most of the neighborhoods back in the crew's homeland -- you guys work so hard and definitely deserve a nice area to chill out when off duty!

    • @grayrabbit2211
      @grayrabbit2211 2 місяці тому

      They should be proud of this. It's wonderful to see crew get treated as well as the passengers. They're busting hump for minimal pay, and let's be honest, the ship could be wonderful or a dog...but it's the crew that will make or break it.

  • @kater.7563

      I have a feeling that was a special event. I doubt they do ice sculptures for the crew everybody day.

    this is a beautiful ship and also with the things they have for the crew is really something i feel more ships should do because the crew would really appreciate it and have a place to blow off steam on a hard day

    Chris, I am delighted to see that Royal Caribbean is giving its Icon staff the best treatment in the entire cruise industry. The Crew Neighbourhood is effectively a ship within the megaship! It is as big as, or even bigger than, many ships, given that Icon has about 2,300 employees and the majority of ships are carrying fewer passengers than that, right?

  • @LetsAllCruise
    @LetsAllCruise 2 місяці тому +2

    Royal have done such a good job with this ship. Love that they not only raised the bar for passenger accommodation but for crew too. The bar at the end is nicer than some of the guest bars on other ships!!! Love the portholes.

  • @KrisTina-friendship
    @KrisTina-friendship 3 місяці тому +3

    this is the best crew area , we were lucky to have crew cafeteria/tiny/small buffet the crew gym never used and crew bar was cheap drinks $1.00 2003 when I was on princess, worked as musician. I like color schemes and crew areas were so beautifully designed. Royal knows how to take care of their crew for sure they just work them 12-16hrs day excluding musicians in lounges or showroom theatres.

  • @grayrabbit2211
    @grayrabbit2211 2 місяці тому

    Wow at the Crew Appreciation Dinner! I realize this isn't a typical night, but the fact that they went all-out with ice sculptures, elaborate decorations, beautifully displayed food speaks volumes. Same with the crew areas being fitted with nice fittings and furniture that are more than worthy of guest areas. RC didn't have to do this, but that they took the extra effort and expense is impressive. All of this makes me want to give RC business over other cruise lines.

    This was so amazing to see. The concept of 'neighbourhoods' blew my mind when I was on Symphony last year, but this is NEXT LEVEL. The fact the crew have another hidden neighbourhood 'behind the scenes' is fascinating - thanks for showing us this!

    Chris, towards the end of this video, I was happy to see the crew's Fitness Centre and also that you exercise and do not smoke tobacco. However, working in a smoke-filled casino every day is just as bad as actually smoking. Do you wear a mask while you are working? Are you advocating for smoke-free casinos?

  • @berniekirk1397
