Podcasts about Royal Caribbean

Today's cruise ships are floating cities – complete with waterslides, sushi bars, and even roller skating rinks.  But it wasn't always that way. Today, we're joined by the leader who helped pioneer the megaship era and transform Royal Caribbean into a global vacation powerhouse. Richard Fain served as CEO for 33 years, building a culture where big ideas could thrive and the whole team was willing to push past what was comfortable or passable in order to deliver truly “wow” experiences. If you want to create a culture that's big on innovation, don't miss this episode.  You'll also learn: What “UFB” stands for (you can probably guess the middle letter) The surprisingly simple strategy that can help your internal initiatives take off How to apply the rule of thirds to your innovation strategy Why he got an emergency phone call from the Swedish Air Force Take your learning further.

Last week, we did our first-ever live show on the Crimewave true crime cruise! We covered three cases, a sort of "sampler platter" to give new listeners an idea of what kind of stories we usually tell on TCC. Case 1 is the bizarre story of a parody website that ended up bringing dozens of would-be killers to justice. Case 2 is the murder of chef Dan Brophy by his mystery-novelist wife. Case 3 is the true story of Stede Bonnet, bumbling pirate wannabe and possible boyfriend of the dread pirate Blackbeard. Thank you so much to IRL Events for the opportunity to perform live--it was a blast! Thanks too to Royal Caribbean for hosting us all. Note: There were some visual aids that went along with these cases, so sometimes you'll hear the crowd laughing at those. Patreon supporters will also have access to the half-hour Q and A session we hosted after the live show. Follow us, campers!Patreon (join to get all episodes ad-free, at least a day early, an extra episode a month, and a free sticker!): https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfirehttps://www.truecrimecampfirepod.com/Facebook: True Crime CampfireInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/truecrimecampfire/?hl=enTwitter: @TCCampfire https://twitter.com/TCCampfireEmail: truecrimecampfirepod@gmail.comMERCH! https://true-crime-campfire.myspreadshop.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-campfire--4251960/support.

This week, it's just John and Dayna holding down the fort while Shawn's away — and there's plenty to cover! They start with heartfelt updates on Hurricane Melissa's impact across Jamaica and the Bahamas, sharing what travelers need to know as airports reopen and relief efforts ramp up. Then, it's over to the Greek Isles, where Royal Caribbean just announced its new Royal Beach Club in Santorini — a sustainable seaside retreat blending local culture with that signature Royal vibe. From there, the duo dives into Norwegian Cruise Line's big change to its drink packages at Great Stirrup Cay (spoiler: your island cocktails aren't free anymore) — and why it might not be as bad as it sounds. Finally, John and Dayna explore a surprising shift in the travel landscape: Q4 2025 is packed with last-minute deals. With excess inventory across cruises, Disney vacations, and even Universal Orlando, flexibility might just be the secret to saving big this holiday season.

In this episode, Kelly Wilson explains how to move from avoidance to acceptance: a new way to live with anxiety. He delves into how our vulnerabilities show us what matters to us, and that the goal isn't to win a war inside. It's to keep coming back to the next honest action that moves you towards what matters. That is at the core of acceptance and commitment therapy. Not chasing perfect feelings, but choosing the next right move towards your values, again and again.Exciting News!!!

Thanks for joining me in Session 315 of The Behavioral Observations Podcast. In this episode, I spoke with Drs. Gabi Morgan and David Adams to dive deep into trauma-informed behavior analysis. Gabi brings her 30-year journey in the field—from undergrad roots to professorship at Bay Path University—while David shares his evolution from child and family therapy to clinical psychology, with a heavy focus on foster and adoptive parenting. Both guests are passionate about closing the divide between trauma therapy and behavioral strategies, and they credit mentors like Dr. Jeannie Golden for lighting the way. We kick things off by unpacking what trauma really means. In doing so, as a content warning, please be aware that we do make general references to a variety of traumatic and adverse experiences. Having said that, David walks us through SAMHSA's three-part definition: the event, the experience, and the effects. It's not the event itself that defines trauma—it's the individual's response. He introduces "adverse conditioning experiences" as a behavior-analytic twist on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), spotlighting how negative associations get wired in through conditioning. From there, we contrast PTSD and complex PTSD. Same core symptoms (intrusive thoughts, avoidance, etc.), but complex PTSD adds prolonged exposure and three extra layers: impaired self-worth, rocky relationships, and emotional dysregulation. Gabi drives home a critical point: folks with developmental disabilities are at higher risk for trauma but often fly under the diagnostic radar. We need to get better at spotting trauma-related behaviors in this population. Screening, Brain Science, and Practical Strategies Screening is a big theme. We all agree behavior analysts aren't formally trained in assessment, but we have to be aware of how this is done. Gabi loves the Child Health and Development Institute's Child Trauma Screen (CTS), and the Massachusetts Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (Mass CANS) tool.  David then nerds out on the neurobiology: trauma affects the amygdala (hypervigilance), hippocampus (memory glitches), hypothalamus (stress gone haywire), and frontal lobe (decision-making on the fritz). Enter the "amygdala hijack"—when fear short-circuits rational thought. Bottom line? Kids in fight-or-flight aren't in a teachable moment. Safety and calm have to come first. We close the show with actionable takeaways: risk-benefit analyses for every intervention (especially with histories of food neglect), "kind extinction" (empathy + withholding reinforcers), and the six pillars of trauma-informed care (safety, trustworthiness, peer support, collaboration, empowerment, cultural competence). TIC isn't a "hyphenated" ABA—it's the whole framework. Advice for new BCBAs? Seek trauma training, question "business as usual," and be the stable adult in a kid's chaotic world. Empathy, creativity, and reducing fear are your superpowers. Additional Resources Toward Trauma-Informed Applications of Behavior Analysis (Rajaraman, et al., 2021) Inside JABA 10 with Drs.

Send us a textHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am honored to welcome a special guest, Richard Fain, Chairman and former CEO of Royal Caribbean Group (RCG). Mr. Fain's new book, Delivering the WOW: Culture as Catalyst for Lasting Success (October 21, 2025; Fast Company Press), reveals actionable lessons from Royal Caribbean's rapid growth: a culture that motivated employees to deliver WOWs to customers, transforming the customer and employee experience all at once with electrifying energy. RCG's trademark culture and dedication to delivering wows also catalyzed innovations including the world's first and biggest megaships, beginning with Sovereign of the Seas in 1988—Cheryl and my first cruise, also in 1988—peerless onboard experiences, including soaring atriums and unexpected ice-skating rinks at sea; and unforgettable offboard experiences including Perfect Day at CocoCay, a private island resort owned by RCG.  Proceeds from proceeds from Delivering the WOW will be donated to the Fain Scholarship Fund, a scholarship program Richard Fain established in 1999 to support the education of Royal Caribbean Group employees and their children, which he has been contributing to at an average of $200,000 in annual support. Richard Fain served as chairman and CEO from 1988 to 2022 when he transitioned to his current role as chairman. Under his leadership, the company grew from a small cruise line to its current place as one of the world's most valuable vacation companies. Recognized for his “visionary leadership”, Mr. Fain was named one of the 30 World's Best CEOs by Barron's for three years running and received the Ultimate CEO Award from the South Florida Business Journal. His international awards include the rank of Officier in the Légion d'Honneur of France and Commander, First Class, of the Order of the Lion of Finland. He and his wife of 56 years have four children and eight extraordinary grandchildren.Do you have a dream car?Support the showSupport thejoyofcruisingpodcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/2113608/supporters/newSupport Me https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drpaulthContact Me https://www.thejoyofcruising.net/contact-me.htmlBook Cruises http://www.thejoyofvacation.com/US Orders (coupon code joyofcruisingpodcast)The Joy of Cruising https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingCruising Interrupted https://bit.ly/CruisingInterruptedThe Joy of Cruising Again https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingAgainIntl Orders via Amazon

In this episode, Joe Nucci explores what it means to go beyond the buzzwords and how to talk about mental health without losing its meaning. He explains how mental health language has become less useful as it's gained popularity, and how clinical terms meant for specific purposes have drifted into everyday speech until they describe everything, and therefore, nothing. The words we use create the world we see, and once you start viewing yourself through a diagnostic lens, it can be hard to see in any other way. One of the most powerful takeaways from this conversation is that the value of a psychological term lies not only in its accuracy, but in its usefulness, and sometimes the language we use builds a cage instead of offering clarity.Exciting News!!! Coming in March, 2026, my new book, How a Little Becomes a Lot: The Art of Small Changes for a More Meaningful Life is now available for pre-orders!Key Takeaways:The popularization of mental health language and concepts.The phenomenon of “psychobabble” and its implications.The concept of “concept creep” in mental health terminology.The importance of accurate mental health diagnoses and their clinical usefulness.The balance between clinical accuracy and practical application in mental health discussions.The complexities of people pleasing and its underlying motivations.The overuse and misapplication of the term “trauma” in contemporary discourse.The distinction between normal emotional responses and clinical disorders.The role of language in shaping perceptions of mental health.The need for nuanced, context-sensitive approaches to mental health treatment and understanding.For full show notes, click here!Connect with the show:Follow us on YouTube: @TheOneYouFeedPodSubscribe on Apple Podcasts or SpotifyFollow us on InstagramIf you enjoyed this conversation with Joe Nucci, check out these other episodes:How to Harness Brain Energy for Mental Health with Dr. Chris PalmerWhy We Need to Rethink Mental Health with Eric MaiselInsights on Mental Health and Resilience with Andrew SolomonBy purchasing products and/or services from our sponsors, you are helping to support The One You Feed and we greatly appreciate it.

In this episode, Luke Burgis explores the question, “Are your desires really yours?” and how to recognize and reclaim what you truly want. He discusses how to tell the difference between “thin desires (fleeting, imitated wants) and “thick desires” (the deeper longings that bring lasting fulfillment), and why discerning between the two can change the direction of your life.

All aboard for a voyage of wonder!

What does it take to build a culture so strong that it powers 68 ships, 100,000 employees, and 12 million ecstatic guests each year? In this episode, Richard Fain, former CEO and current Chairman of Royal Caribbean Group, shares how he led the company's evolution from a small cruise line into a $16 billion global powerhouse by anchoring performance in purpose and people. Drawing from his new book, Delivering the WoW: Culture as a Catalyst for Lasting Success, Richard unpacks the mindset behind Royal Caribbean's growth—from defining culture as a shared North Star to prioritizing fit over fitness in hiring and leadership. He explains how the company grew leaders through cross-functional rotations, built transparency through metrics like guest satisfaction and employee Net Promoter Scores, and created alignment through a shared “culture dashboard.” Along the way, he highlights lessons from bold innovations like the VR Innovation Lab—and even a runaway blimp experiment—that shaped a culture of continuous improvement and accountability. Every CHRO who believes culture is the new competitive advantage will find in this episode the proof and the playbook for making it real.   ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

You don't have to command a cruise ship (or a boardroom) to lead with purpose. On this episode of The Stacking Benjamins Show, Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, and Neighbor Doug welcome Richard Fain, longtime chairman and former CEO of Royal Caribbean Group, for a conversation that's not about corporate leadership… but about life leadership. Richard shares timeless lessons he learned from decades steering one of the world's most innovative companies—lessons that apply just as powerfully to parenting, coaching your kid's soccer team, running a PTA fundraiser, or simply trying to create more joy at home. You'll hear how to dream bigger about your own life, build a culture of kindness and excellence in small groups, and turn the ordinary moments around you into opportunities to “deliver the WOW.” Of course, this wouldn't be the basement without a few money detours. The crew also breaks down new 401(k) rules and annuity updates, debates whether tax flexibility beats fancy planning, and celebrates Doug's birthday with trivia, laughter, and a few movie reviews along the way. By the end, you'll walk away inspired to bring a little more vision, creativity, and generosity into every corner of your world. No cruise ship required. What You'll Learn How to lead from wherever you are: Richard's lessons on building strong teams, communities, and families. No corner office needed. Turning the ordinary into extraordinary: Simple ways to “deliver the WOW” at home, work, or anywhere people count on you. Dreaming bigger about your life: Why bold vision isn't just for CEOs; it's for anyone looking to create meaning and momentum. Financial updates you can use: New 401(k) rules, annuity insights, and practical tips to strengthen your plan. The lighter side of leadership: Trivia, birthday celebrations, and a few fun detours (because we can't resist). Questions for the Basement What's one way you could “deliver the WOW” in your own life this week? Who's a leader in your everyday world (at home, work, or your community) who's made an impact on you? How can dreaming a little bigger change the way you approach your next financial or personal goal?

After nearly three decades of silence, one of the most haunting missing-person cases in modern history has come roaring back to life. Twenty-three-year-old Amy Lynn Bradley vanished in March 1998 while on a family cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Rhapsody of the Seas. Her disappearance became one of the most baffling maritime mysteries ever recorded — no body, no answers, and no closure. But in July 2025, Netflix's Amy Bradley Is Missing documentary changed everything. Within weeks of its release, the FBI confirmed three “very significant” new leads. According to People magazine and other verified outlets, one involves a female bartender who allegedly shouted “Señorita kidnapped!” the night Amy vanished. Another comes from a digital trace — an IP hit from a boat near Barbados accessing Amy's official missing-person website shortly after the documentary aired. And a third, more haunting claim: that Amy may have had a child after disappearing. These developments could completely rewrite the story that's lingered since 1998. Investigators are now re-interviewing witnesses, analyzing maritime data, and tracing that digital signal in hopes of identifying who's watching Amy's story from the Caribbean waters. This episode digs deep into these new revelations — the forensic possibilities, the legal hurdles, and the psychological toll of hope after twenty-seven years. What really happened on the Rhapsody of the Seas? And could the answers finally be within reach? Join us as we uncover the truth behind the Amy Bradley case — what the FBI is doing now, what the Netflix series reignited, and why some believe this mystery might finally be on the verge of being solved. #AmyBradley #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #Netflix #FBI #CaribbeanMystery #ColdCase #AmyBradleyIsMissing #CrimeDocumentary #Investigation Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
