    Thank you to all of you for following me along my Icon Of The Seas contract. Once again, I am so thankful to be a part of cruise ship history.
    I am currently at home enjoying my rest, and the next adventure will be coming soon!

      Hi Chris! We met you in Sept 21 in Alaska when you were on Ovation. Still keeping up with your adventures. Hope you have some rest and we’ll see what’s in store for you soon.

      Chris, my wife, and I have been watching your Vlogs for quite a while now. You did mention that you were going to be Utopia of the Seas for your next adventure, or at least that is what I thought you had said. I hope I am correct as we are sailing on the Utopia in January and hope to see you on her! Have a great vacation at home.

      Hang in there as the downs in life can be mitigated by keeping a upward attitude on yourself and where you want to go and be. Set aside the Nattering Nabobs Of Negativity and you will be successful. Live long and prosper. Chris.

    In Australia it is called "the tall poppy syndrome". This is when people who are jealous of a successful person will do anything to cut that person down. Chris you are a really great guy, do not let these jealous people get you down

    Chris, it was an absolute pleasure to meet you on Icon, especially since it was your last week onboard. I'll tell you this you are very good at your job and for all of you who haven't had the pleasure of meeting Chris he is a true gentlemen and what you see on youtube is the same in person. Kudos to you my friend and thank you for a grand time. Cheers.

    So true. Someone is always trying to knock you down. Successful or a failure. People enjoy bringing misery. Remove toxic people from your life and ignore toxic people on social media. It’s okay to have a small circle of true friends.

    Chris, I am so sorry you had problems this year. UA-cam can be a cesspool for jealous and rude people but I never thought you would be attacked. You have been nothing but positive and polite. Not only do I love seeing you on the ship but the port visits are extremely useful. I am so disappointed with R.C. Management who I take it were not on your side. You have been nothing but gracious and a wonderful salesperson.for their product. I know it’s easy to say “ignore” it so all I’m going to say is when I watch your videos I always catch myself smiling. Thank you for all your work!

    Chris I’ve been listening to you for a long time. Don’t let these kinds of Disruption get in the way of you enjoying life. I did miss some of your Contant when you weren’t posting anything but never worry. Your subscribers and viewers will stick with you no matter what somebody might say or do I remember something when I was a young kid “sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me”. Unfortunately some people can put stuff on the Internet and think that they’re hurting you but don’t worry about that stuff let it go. Your channel is doing great can’t wait until you’re on your next ship take care be safe. And don’t forget take care of your personal life too

    What a nice goodby from you. I have watched your videos from the start. I always look for the new videos as I really enjoy hearing about your adventures. They bring me happiness. As you are getting older, you ae changing, as we all are! Nothing negative about that. It is a shame we are all in a dog eat dog world...I have seen such behavior even in my own career, fortunately not often. You learn, you move on. My gosh, you will be so wiser when older! Keep love in your heart. Patrick from Connecticut.

    Your content was amazing from Day 1 of the Icon series. I found it fascinating how much training you did prior to the Inaugural sailing of the ship. As well as how much time you were on the ship prior to sailing. IMO you represented ICON in a very professional way that probably resulted in many folks wanting to sail Icon. Enjoy your time at home! ✌️

    Loved all your content from this series, Chris. I'm fascinated by cruise ships but you give us all insights far beyond what typical cruise ship bloggers deliver. It's a huge enhancement to Royal's own marketing content while always remaining respectful to the confidentiality of its business operations. I honestly believe you have been a very significant influence in inspiring so many people from across the world to join the industry and in particular Royal Caribbean. Enjoy the break back home in the UK.
