This Royal Caribbean Announcement Will Make You Cry - And We're Going to Get Up Close to Bring You More

Wonder of the Seas Godmother Marie McCrea In the past, cruise ship godmothers have been celebrities, cruise industry executives, or even family members.  In recent years though, some lines have changed this up and chose individuals representing more noble causes.  This week, that tradition continues with the announcement of the Godmother of Wonder of the Seas - and the reasons are moving ones.

The Effectors - Royal Caribbean Shows-Off Tech Instead of Story Telling. Is It Worth It?

The Effectors on Odyssey of the SeasIn recent years, Royal Caribbean has dedicated a lot of time, hard work, and money into creating their own evening shows.  Each of these aims to wow the audience with some over-the-top demonstration of technology and stagecraft, and their latest creation, The Effectors, is no exception.  There were a few moments in this show that were unlike anything we'd seen on land or sea.  How did it work as a show though?  Well, if you're going strictly for the story, I'd skip it, but don't cancel your evening cruise plans just yet.
