I help mission-driven changemakers empower and inspire their “people” through out-of-the-box, community-building ventures-through cruising!

I work with forward-thinking leaders who are ready to make a BIG impact and stand out in their industry. Sure, you could do the same old-same old retreat in a big hotel ballroom or conference center and get good results.

But to achieve transformational results-to truly magnify the impact you’re giving your people-you need to get them out of their comfort zones and exploring, all together.

Enter: Cruise retreats. On your ship, assumptions, reservations, and old modes of thinking and doing fall away. Creativity and community flourish. You gift your attendees an experience they simply can’t get back at “home”-and a transformation that lasts.

Whether you’re an innovative company ready to do retreats differently, or a coach or small business owner seeking to serve your clients in new ways, I’m here to execute your vision with ease.

It says there is a third berth for this room. Would you be able to tell us where it is located?
@RitaVenturesLLC
@RitaVenturesLLC Месяц назад
Hmm...that's a great question...my thought is that the third berth would be that sofa, which may convert to a bed. You can always check with your travel advisor for the current specs :)

Just considering booking room 8362. Should be identical to this one? This would be the first RC cruise for us after 16+ Carnival cruises.
@RitaVenturesLLC

Possibly! If it's the same room category, I would say yes. If it's a different category, might be some slight differences. Hope you have an amazing time on your first Royal cruise!

Hi Rita Has this improved since you posted your video? I'm cruising with MSC World Europa but finding it difficult to get some proper feedback on the gluten free options. Thanks
@RitaVenturesLLC
@RitaVenturesLLC Год назад
I don't really think so. I did a ship inspection on the Seaside last month and had to go to a different eatery than my group because the only place that was chosen was NOT gluten free. It's pretty disappointing.

Let me add to your rant with one of my own. We went on the MSC Divina in 2016 (before Covid) and the staff was amazing, the ship was gorgeous--the Swarovski crystal staircase - stunning. So, that was the good. The bad, which unfortunately outweighs the good, was the super RUDE passengers. One of our party had Lupus (she has since passed, so you know she was very ill), had a mobility scooter and people would not let her out of the elevator before they barged in and were rude to her in hallways, etc.. My husband and I were having one of the professional photographers take our picture on the crystal staircase when a large party ignored the robe barrier and took their own photos, so they were in the background of our photos, which we did not purchase. There are sooo many more examples I could give for a week-long cruise, but you get the gist. We’re Diamond Plus members on Royal Caribbean and have sailed on five other cruise lines and have NEVER encountered fellow guests as RUDE as these. We will NEVER sail on MSC again and that’s a sorry thing, because of the ships, staff, itineraries are great. Whew, thanks for letting me rant.

I love MSC. I am not a fan of Carnival. I will say there are a few things that Carnival does better, MSC's website is not user friendly. I really like Carnival offering a 12 pack of water for $5. One thing MSC does well is their cabins are beautiful.
@RitaVenturesLLC
@RitaVenturesLLC 2 года назад
Yes! So agree with you on these points---MSC is beautiful! But I also like being able to get a pack of water in the cabin for a reasonable price.
