How can HAL compete with competitors? Major Competitor: Royal Caribbean Cruise International • Royal Caribbean Cruise International has a number of weaknesses on its services on board as in the next two slides
Weakness of RCI How can HAL compete with competitors? • Caribbean have found limited selections in places to grab a bite to eat, with little available poolside and only a handful of eating areas to choose from. Also, while ice skating is a big hit on this cruise ship, the hours available for skating tend to be very limited and are often around the dinner hours. This makes it difficult to find a good time to indulge in this activity. Finally, many Royal Caribbean passengers may find that the service on Royal Caribbean is less attentive, probably due to the fact that the ships are so large.
Weakness of RCI How can HAL compete with competitors? • The main weakness of a Royal Caribbean cruise is that it is not the kind of cruise line that a person who wants privacy should choose. The cruise ships are large, and as such many people will be on the ship, both in the form of guests, and in the form of staff. • For example, if you are the kind of person that likes to relax by yourself at the pool, you really should not go on a cruise, because the pool is the main attraction of the ship. As such, many people will be relaxing by the pool for most of the day. The only time you might get the pool almost to yourself is if you decide to not go on a shore excursion to one of the cruise stops.
Why focus on golf and soccer? • Soccer is the most popular sports in Europe • Golf is a prestigious sport played by many baby-boomers HOME
Why focus on BBC & Bloomberg? • Target market is upper-middle baby boomers and executives who are interested in financial news and surrounding environment HOME
