Cruise Creators #3 Dystopia of the Seas

1
The Villa Vie updates are WILD, I can't wait to see the netflix documentary on this in a few years. This company is a total shambles!!



The first 5mins is the current updates as of yesterday but it somehow failed sea trials which is odd as its not a new ship so something must be really wrong. Also to tell people they will no longer be paying for hotel at midnight for when they wake up is insane!!!!



The best is when they say bye before going to pre filmed footage of update that they'll be sailing in a week

I mean, the ship is thirty years old and she was laid up for four years. Villa Vie apparently thought they could just buy her and get her ready to sail in a month. It's Theranos levels of magical thinking.

I want to see if JJ Cruise will mention this or just pretend they were never being #hosted in order to shill for them.
 
I know Ben and David went on Epic purely because how awful it is but I've enjoyed watching it as I had now idea just HOW bad that ship was. If it wasn't so click bait-y a series of the worst rated cruises would be interesting!
I mean, aside from the glassed-in toilets in the middle of the room and how incredibly ugly the hull is, what were they complaining about?
 
The Epic is an unusual ship but horrific is really stretching it, if it really was that bad would you even stay there for 9 nights?

They’re just full of tit, honest cruising my arse.

They are very quickly alienating brands by making this type of video, booking cruises purposely to neg them.

Maybe they're hoping that they can gin up a scandal against NCL like they did with MSC. So, free cruise, and then they get to feel important.

I don’t think they’re very intelligent, the lies are catching up to them, burning through their friend list etc.

Looking forward to seeing what Emma puts out on video after being hosted in Yacht Club by MSC 🫣
 
I would not be surprised to see Penfold become a travel agent soon, that seems to be what others do.
I hate it when they all become travel agents. Anyone thinks they can book travel, and they can, that's the easy part. There is so much more to being a travel agent.
Take this morning for example, I've had to reissue flights, reroute a couple with 3 kids, call a hotel to make sure there are no feather pillows in the room etc, it is so much more than booking a cruise/hotel/flights. You Tubers should stick to making videos, not playing around at being an agent because they have been on 100 cruises.

Lol sorry rant over, I've had a bad morning. I love my job but it's so much more than people think and so many rules and regulations with years of training.

However, I too can see Ben and David going down this route.
 
The Villa Vie saga continues.

I haven’t seen many videos, but the ones I have seen are getting into major Sunk Cost Fallacy vibes.
 
Emma Lettuce has “written” a series of booky wooks. Well, written is a stretch and to give her a little bit of credit she at no point said in the blog that she’d written them. She didn’t really say she hasn’t either, we have to kind of work it out for ourselves. Either way, her name is on the front of the books above that of the man who did write them.

The further monetisation of her cat now sees him as the fictional captain of a cruise ship where kiddies go on holiday. She starts the video by telling us how much the cuddly toys have raised for charity but I think the proceeds of this venture are going directly into Emma’s handbag.

That’s assuming it makes any money of course, because the publishers she approached turned her down flat. But what do they know about selling books? Nothing! Ask Adam Hattan about that, he has five thousand unsold self published novels gathering dust on their jackets in a warehouse.

Good luck Emma.
 
She's gifting the books out. The smug trek trendy has posted about getting one.

You can tell Emma has taken a course on blogging as she is doing every single stereotypical thing.

She’ll sell boat loads, pardon the pun.

She’s incredibly shrewd. How can you be a co-founder of a company that’s been operating for years? I suspect the original founders may regret letting her buy in.
