A7: We highlighted few such products in our 50th Anniversary issue's cover story. Some of our faves: The rise of the "megaship," the introduction of business class and the first boutique hotel. @RoyalCaribbean #TWChats https://t.co/NCTWOIWokL

A7: I think social media --- which is really neither social nor media, and is mostly dishonest about the travel experience. Travel, like being human, is imperfect and awkward, and the magnificence of it is in embracing and surrendering to that. #TWchats

A7: Without a doubt, ships are becoming floating cities! There really is something for everyone to enjoy. #TWChats

A7. We’ve seen it all, from A&K's Around the World by Supersonic Concorde to the evolution of safaris, which used to last 30+ days. #TWChats

A7: #RiverCruising became a tourism product in 1992 with the completion of the #MainDanubeCanal. Since then, cruising has transformed from ocean liners transporting guests to countries, into floating hotels taking guests through countries. #TWchats

A7: @twtravelnews, for #cruising dining has greatly evolved over the past several years. Cuisine has become a global experience, with ships now featuring dozens of options — from casual, poolside eateries to elegant outlets. #TWChats

A7: The cruising experience has drastically evolved! Instead of the stereotypical all-you-can-eat buffet, cruises like @crystalcruises are trying to bring Michelin-like dining to the seas #twchats

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A7: Hotel rooms and suites have changed drastically. For example, a lot of times people would hope for an ocean view room. Now you can visit properties like the @GVRivieraMaya and literally have your own personal plunge pool. #tzelltravels #twchats https://t.co/kqklbgfrNj

A7: Robbi Hamida: "Cruise ships experienced the most change for sure. We went from holding 600 ppl to 6,000 along with a park, carnival, and a waterslide! Not to mention more food options!" #Twchats #BiggerandBetter #MoreFood @RoyalCaribbean

A7. It’s fascinating to see how travel has changed in places like China. People forget what a challenge travel there used to be. @geoffreykent was one of the 1st Westerners to visit when China opened. He had to stay in army barracks – there simply were no hotels. #TWChats

A7: #TWchats Our expanding Cruise portfolio has been an exciting change for us! 🛳️

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A7: A significant change could be the growth in travel infrastructure, enabling us to go further and work with local communities in ways that give back. Also, Bill Fink shared some wonderful insight on the power experimental & adventure travel.

A7: Entertainment! From cruise ships to flights, the industry has drastically improved our entertainment offerings. Royal Caribbean is proud to offer entertainment across 4 mediums: stage, air, ice and water! #Twchats

A7. The ability to cruise to the ends of the earth in complete luxury is game-changing. In '99 @Geoffrey_Kent explored the North Pole on a noisy Russian icebreaker, "It was a nightmare." #TWchats

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A7: Bold isn’t built in a day. That’s why 50 years later, we are still pushing the limits — with the world’s biggest cruise ship, the tallest waterslide at sea, and our one-of-a-kind private island, #PerfectDayatCocoCay. #TWchats

A7. I feel like there are two things going opposite directions. The megaships which offers a little something for everyone then the other side offers more experiences based on your interests like a cruise to the Galapagos. #TWchats https://t.co/i3db3cZXOW

A7: Carryon luggage has definitely changed over the years. What used to be a simple 'just-in-case' bag, has turned into much more. We have a guide on how to pack the perfect carryon: https://t.co/Azz9yjjMgk Truly a change from then and now! #TWChats

A7. In 1984, all the hotels in Shanghai were full, so rather than turn me out, one unlocked the on-premises barbershop and offered me a barber chair to sleep in. When I woke up, every chair was occupied. #TWChats https://t.co/UsL7XaQRVl

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A7) In #PureMichigan, we're seeing more adventure seekers who are looking to unplug & get off the grid completely. They really want to connect with nature & not with their cell phones. We recommend checking out these backwoods camping sites: https://t.co/uUHlGlpsXt | #TWchats
