Businesses across all sectors are constantly seeking new ways to elevate their customer experience offerings and drive customer loyalty. One fascinating model is the cruise industry. Cruise ships offer a 24/7, 'live-in' customer relationship model, forcing a relentless focus on swift problem resolution and exceeding expectations to avoid tarnishing the entire experience for passengers.

With over 40 years of experience in the cruise industry, Paul Rutter, author of “You Can't Make This Ship Up,” has witnessed firsthand the evolution of customer experience on cruise ships. His role as a cruise director at Royal Caribbean since 1991 has provided him with a deep understanding of the intricacies of providing top-notch service in a dynamic and challenging environment.
