I'll explore the significant reactions to this adjustment, discussing cruise culture, the influence of cruise personalities like John Heald, and the Boiled Frog Principle to understand the subtle shifts in cruising. We'll also touch on accusations of greenwashing and the future outlook of cruising. Tune in as we unpack this layered issue.
