“Now more than ever, people have resolved to travel the world and make up for lost time. Royal Caribbean is making that a reality with the ultimate vacation that welcomes those seeking adventure and exploration to taste, dance and dream with us around the world,” Royal Caribbean International CEO Michael Bayley said in a statement reported by USA Today “To travelers asking themselves where they should go next, we say everywhere.”
