We’re taking this week off, but we won’t leave you empty-handed! Here is one of our favorite guest episodes with Dondra from a couple of months ago. We wish you a wonderful holiday and look forward to sharing our episode next week with special guest Jenn Lee!
There is a quote about Darwin’s theory of evolution that says “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change”. In this week’s episode, we talk to Dondra Ritzenthaler (Senior VP of Sales, Trade Support & Service for Celebrity Cruise Line) about how the industry has adapted to the challenge of the pandemic.
