A6: And I my carry-on used to be a handled tote bag, which I thought was very chic and I would carry it on the crook of my arm even when it weighed 20 pounds. It was a blue camo print, though, so maybe....not so chic....? #TWchats #notvuitton

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: @twtravelnews #Travel has only become more hands-on and immersive. From Explorations Central to our @foodandwine EXCursions, HAL strives to connect guests to the destinations they're visiting in order to make their experience authentic, engaging and meaningful. #TWChats

A6. At least one night of fine dining is a way to anyone's heart. #TWChats https://t.co/dvloZwjX5o

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 The emphasis on environmentally-friendly and sustainable travel has a been an incredibly positive and welcomed addition in the travel industry. With our EcoCostaTours! guests can embark on in-depth adventures with a focus on the environment: #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


Oh @VickiLovesTAs you always have the best stories. We need a #twchats just with #vickistories -- can we do? https://t.co/2RopnRFDCg

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: Our Special Projects Editor Daniel Scheffler wrote an essay about a childhood flight on the Concorde, and how elegant the boarding process used to be. #TWchats https://t.co/fru0RIZNgD

A6: As a #solocruiser, I bring some glamorous clothes to dress up at least one night and I get my hair and makeup done in the spa that day so I feel extra special. I then seek out the #cruisephotographer for a nice pix and memory. #TWchats #TWrtobin

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


replying to @vacation_helper @vacation_helper A nice ritual! We approve #TWchats #treatyourself

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! 🛳️

@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.

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A7: cruise ships have now become a destination rather than just the means to get you to the destination. #TWChats

RT @annamarie10: A5: Travel agents are such a valuable resource to travelers! #twchats https://t.co/RUzYsKRegN

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


A6: We love celebrating special occasions with our guests, especially those with an anniversary during their stay! We bring both the glamour and romance with a sweet surprise, toasting to another wonderful vacation! #TWChats


Q8: From telefax to apps: Which kind of tech has transformed travel the most? #TWchats via @mindypoder
Our App allows guests to do so much pre- and post-travel.


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


replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews @TWrtobin A6: we always plan at least one event or evening where we dress nicely and go out for and elegant time. #TWChats

Sort of a digression, but I always felt #queenmary2 was a real game-changer in cruise. It really captivated so many people! And here's a throwback ad from @cunardline ("getting there is half the fun" -- I think this is true of any travel ) #TWchats


replying to @VickiLovesTAs @VickiLovesTAs A7: the decline of rail travel. More experiences like Rocky Mountaineer need to exist in the US - completely different way to see the USA. #TWchats
