*3 Royal Caribbean innovations Carnival Cruise Line should copy*

When people talk about the latest and greatest cruise ships, they tend to focus on the most high-profile features. It's, of course, impressive that Carnival's latest ships offer onboard roller coasters and Royal Caribbean has ships with bumper cars, indoor skydiving and ice rinks. In reality, though, new rides and activities aren't what makes or breaks a cruise vacation. Yes, it's fun to play laser tag or climb a rock wall, but both of those things are readily available on land, and relatively few people make either a regular priority.Related: Royal Caribbean quietly fixes a big passenger problem On a cruise, the real innovation comes more in the bones of the ship, the things you don't think about more than the robot bartender or the fancy smoke machine that makes visually impressive drinks. That's where Royal Caribbean (RCL) - Get Free Report has stepped ahead of its chief rival and really the entire family-cruise business. Its latest ship, Icon of the Seas, incorporates the best features of the Oasis-class ships that came before it, but it also changes the entire experience of being on a ship. It's subtle, maybe not even noticeable, for people who have not been on dozens of different ships, but it's impressive and a game changer compared to its rivals. Icon of the Seas has multiple infinity pools. Image source: Royal Caribbean Icon of the Seas flows Royal Caribbean's previous class of ships, Oasis-class, was built around distinct neighborhoods. Each one had a distinct feel, but getting between them felt a bit like leaving one store at the mall to head to another. On Icon, the neighborhoods flow into each other. You can start on the lower floor of the Royal Promenade β€” the two-floor heart of the ship packed with bars, restaurants, and entertainment venues β€” and walk all the way to Central Park on the eighth floor without taking an elevator. The neighborhoods are distinct, but you can move among them in a way that makes the ship feel like it's all part of the same thing.Icon of the Seas has better elevators Unless you're in fantastic shape, taking elevators is a fact of life on cruise ships. Icon of the Seas has 18 decks, so it's quite a hike to go from the casino or Playmakers sports bar on Deck 4 to the pools on Deck 15. On most ships elevator lobbies become crowded with people hoping to snare a space on an elevator. That means that you can press up and hope, but the elevator may show up full, and even if you get on, you may end up stopping at countless floors on your way to your destination. Icon has an entirely new elevator system. You enter your intended floor on a touch pad, which directs you to an elevator by letter. Once you board, the elevator may make a stop or two, but it generally takes you right to your floor. Carnival has used a variation of this technology on some ships, but not on its newest Excel-class ships. Its Vista-class ships have so-called smart elevators, but its version did not work well enough to make it onto its latest-and-greatest ships. It may seem like a small thing, but it meaningfully cuts down on waiting, frustration and wasted time.Icon of the Seas shows you the seas When Icon was being built, Royal Caribbean teased people by showing a mysterious structure, the Pearl. It was pretty, but nobody knew exactly what it was. The Pearl spans decks 5 and 6 on Icon of the Seas. It's a stunning photo op with a grand staircase that leads to a large cafe, which features massive windows offering a spectacular view of the seas. On Oasis-class ships, you have to be outside on lower decks if you want to see the sea. The Pearl, however, isn't just a pretty visual. It's actually load-bearing and structural, allowing for windows in a place that's steel on the previous group of largest ships in the world.

*A Southwest traveler is going viral after being mistaken for Snoop Dogg*

With more than a dozen top 10 song hits over a 30-year career and an estimated net worth of $160 million, Snoop Dogg is unlikely to travel in economy on a budget airline. But last week, a Southwest (LUV) - Get Free Report flight attendant found internet fame (and some mockery) after mistaking a regular traveler for the best-selling rap artist on a flight to Florida's Fort Lauderdale and coming up to him for a photo.Related: Southwest Airlines Tries Another Fix For a Big Boarding Problem "Maaaannnn these ppl taking pics of my cuzin [sic] because they said he look like Snoop Dogg," Timothy Graham wrote overtop of a video of a tall African American traveler wearing large dark sunglasses getting up to pose for a photo with a woman in a red Southwest flight attendant uniform. He also put a short clip of Dr. Dre's "Nuthin’ But A 'G' Thang" song playing over the clip (the song lyrics mention that "Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre is at the do.")Flight attendant mistakes passenger for Snoop Dogg: 'You make me feel so short!' "You make me feel so short!" the flight attendant is also heard saying in the video. The video, which was picked up by multiple parody accounts and even reshared by the real Snoop Dogg himself, was viewed millions of times on different accounts. The Southwest flight attendant, whose name is Chrissy Lofton, even posted a photo on her Instagram (META) - Get Free Report account with the caption that she "had Snoop Dogg on my flight into Fort Lauderdale today" and that the rapper "is the sweetest." More Travel:A new travel term is taking over the internet (and reaching airlines and hotels)The 10 best airline stocks to buy nowAirlines see a new kind of traveler at the front of the plane Lofton kept the photo up even after going viral and receiving thousands of comments informing her of her mistake due to the entertainment it aroused. "lol the pic is cute but it's not Snoop Chrissy," wrote one Instagram user. "I hope you get to meet the real one one day" wrote another. A few days after the faux Snoop Dogg video went viral, Lofton posted another video of a different traveler playing the trombone on a plane as "more entertainment on one of my flights."The real Snoop Dogg has been eying some major business moves Born in 1971 as Calvin Broadus Jr., Snoop Dogg rose to prominence through viral rap songs like "What's My Name" and "Drop It Like It's Hot" but has recently undertaken a number of business ventures. In 2015, he founded the hedge fund Casa Verde Capital and has been putting money toward fledgling companies in the cannabis industry as numerous states moved to legalize and the business sector exploded. He has also been an early investor into tech giants such as Reddit, Klarna and Robinhood (HOOD) - Get Free Report. While that venture ultimately proved unsuccessful, Snoop Dogg also tried to buy the NHL team the Ottawa Senators in 2023. A partnership between the rapper and stove producer Solo Stove was also dubbed the "best ad of the year" last year. Snoop Dogg has also been appointed NBC's "Special Correspondent" for the 2024 Olympic Games taking place in Paris in the coming summer after some of his commentary of the 2021 Olympics alongside comedian Kevin Hart generated "tens of millions of views."
