Michael Bayley shared insights to kick off Cruises Inc., CruiseOne and Dream Vacations' weeklong national conference aboard Harmony of the Seas.

The president and CEO of Royal Caribbean International was in the hot seat as he participated in a question and answer session moderated by David Crooks, SVP product & operations, World Travel Holdings.

Drew Daly, general manager of network engagement & performance, welcomed the audience of nearly 1,000 travel agents and industry executives, setting the tone for what he said would be a fun and educational week, inspiring attendees to achieve new accomplishments.

'Achieve' is the theme of the conference.

'National Conference is always the most anticipated event of the year for our agents, headquarters team and travel partners,' Daly said. 'We pride ourselves on blending the perfect mix of a robust curriculum, networking opportunities and fun. We always see a spike in sales and engagement following conference that carries over into the following year and wave season.'

The 'Achieve' theme was selected by past conference participants and is intended to inspire attendees to evolve their business and set new goals. The overarching goal of all the agents is to achieve success by delivering memorable, dream vacations. Throughout the week, attendees will engage with each other, industry executives and more than 40 headquarters staff as they learn new techniques and gain the insights to take their business to the next level.
