First Class on a Ritz Carlton Luxury Cruise | Evrima

Check out Carl Friedrik's “The Luggage Set” here: friedrik.com/0m2
Today I’m taking one of the world’s most luxurious cruises for 5 days across the Caribbean. This is the long awaited Ritz Carlton Yacht, Evrima. Scheduled to launch in 2020, this was pushed back around 8 times until finally last October she was launched. I’ve experienced a few luxury cruises now, but this was different. With far fewer passengers, the level of staffing should be an unparalleled experience onboard.
I'll show you the entire experience from boarding in Florida, touring my suite along with the most luxurious "Owners Suite" onboard. We'll check out the dining, explore the marina and fully emerce ourselves in the world of Ritz Carlton.
Unfortunately today’s ultra luxury cruise wasn’t quite as seamless as I’d hoped. In this video I’ll be breaking down exactly what happened and if I think you should try it for yourself. As always, I remain unbiased and honest in my reviews, this is no exception.

[@C2K777]

Forget everything else. I cannot begin to explain how not acceptable a safety line 'breaking' is. In reality I'd imagine it just wasn't tied off properly but to give you some context regarding that.... ....Instant dismissal would not be an OTT outcome in such circumstances. IF the rope broke then it goes even further. An immediate ( or as soon as reasonably practical) audit of ALL ropes, lines and other safety gear would be required with serious legal & criminal potential consequences for crew, officers, management and suppliers. You know how when you, say wall climb & you have the safety rope. You know how if someone falls 50ft & seriously injuries themselves then people get sacked, sued & possibly convictions are handed down. Yeah if a judgement is made that it is unsafe and/or risk to life to not use said safety equipment then that equipment isn't used properly/ fails then it's NEVER ok. Whether those lovely two were young and fit enough for it not to be an issue is NOT THE ISSUE. Whether there was a rescue tender on standby ( not that I saw one but you'd hope there was if it was assessed so rough/ strong currents that tether ropes were required but who knows based on this), Irrelevant. Shit service is one thing. deploying gear which isn't fit for purpose or allowing inadequately trained crew to undertake tasks which have the potential to endanger guests lives is a very different game.

Imagine paying all that money only to find they are understaffed, the food service is terrible, and some facilities are broken or shuttered? Amateur night, and somehow they got paid for all that and then felt they didn't need to do their jobs properly or provide what they promised. Good job informing us and for being so patient with the experience

Wow, great review. This would be abysmal service on any cruise line, but on a Four Seasons yacht it's absolutely unacceptable. At those prices, everything (including hot tubs) should work, a drink should be obtainable from every seat in the house in under 5 minutes, and a 15 minute wait for a menu should embarrass the crew and crew leader. If I'd payed $10K/p for this voyage, I would be furious. Thanks for keeping it honest!

I was on Evrima a few weeks ago and echo your sentiments exactly. You got the high and low points correctly. Well done (to you) and to Marriott, this diamond needs more polishing. I am writing this from my suite aboard celebrity Apex in the retreat and the differences in the service levels (and even the food) are substantial. The more intimate retreat/haven spaces aboard the newest mainline ships will give the luxury players are run for their money and they need to step it up.

Excellent, honest review -- it's always fun to feel like we're tagging along with you! 🙂 As for this Ritz Carlton experience, it seems rather lacking in ambience, charm, and service for the exorbitant price. It feels like a cross between a luxury high-rise apartment building (with all the nicely appointed, yet empty common areas) and the vast, sterility of Equinox Sports Club LA. Lastly, I was shocked that I could literally SEE how dry and stringy that chicken was -- for that to translate onto the screen, it must have been absolutely inedible in person! 😅

Thanks for taking us along for the journey. Given the cost and brand, I was surprised by the lack of staff, cost of the spa facilities and overall experience. It's a good thing the canoeing guests were good rowers when the safety line gave way, lol. Not quite the in line with the Ritz's reputation for excellent service and pre-empting customer needs but hopefully this changes.

[@kencase2179]

Will and Millie, Thank you for bringing us along on this beautiful ship. It’s sad that you experienced issues with staffing and some areas of the ship as well as some of the food. The pricing and the RC name, you should have had a top notch experience. It looks like the weather was beautiful and I’m sure was a welcomed getaway. Can’t wait for the next video.

[@Miamilifestyle1]

They lost me when your champagne was put on the floor outside your room. The “under staffing” goes against the entire point of luxury cruise. There should be at least 1 to 2 crew to guest. And if the ratio of crew to guest is good, they have then hired the wrong staff. I watched u and Milly and thoroughly enjoyed your take. Thank you.

[@marieneu264]

I don’t understand the understaffing, especially for sure a luxury cruise line, no matter the age. We all know there are bazillions of staff members on cruise ships across the world. You’d think any and all of them would love to work on such a classy cruise ship with upper class guests, as long as they’re being paid a bit more than they are on crappy cruise lines, with sometimes annoying and crass cruisers. This seems like a no brainer if the cruise line pays more (since they charge more) and since the cruisers can probably afford to tip more than most other cruise lines. Something must be wrong if experienced cruise workers aren’t jumping at the chance to work on this ship.

[@batmariostar1818]

I was planning of going on this cruise line, but definitely, I wouldn't go with this cruise line, that thing is unacceptable. I'll cruise with Silversea, as I usually do.

[@illibrium4590]

Honestly - in my experience, this is typical of Marriott. Lots of flash, but when it comes down to it, they are always hesitant to pull out the cash. They will stretch service personnel to their absolute limits before hiring more people. I would have thought that Ritz Carlton would have more investment, especially since it is such a new and high-end project, but when you were having service issues, I was not surprised. I worked for Marriott and Marriott Vacations Worldwide and they are all about over promising and under delivering.

[@AMK190768]

What do you expect from an owner who calls for a "tipping day" and asks to tipp extra... remember his letter very well on the website and how fast my comment was removed. Simply pay living wages, then no one needs to tipp.

[@JimH.]

Another stellar video complete with the good, the bad and the ugly - EXACTLY what we've come to expect from your content. I'm truly sorry you had so many issues, while there are always going to be little things here and there, the sheer amount of failings (especially when you consider the cost and alleged "luxury" classification) are unacceptable. 😕 At ~ $1000 per night, you should have wanted for nothing. And how is a concierge "unable to find you" on a ship that tracks you when you board, when you enter your room, when you reserve a table and when you disembark/re-embark for land excursions? Personally I despise obvious lies and flimsy excuses and would prefer people just be honest. A "Hello, I'm so sorry I didn't get to you yesterday, but I have 200+ people and no help" would be preferable to "Um sorry couldn't find ya." Anyway, keep up the great work and here's hoping your next trip is better. ✈🚢🚓

That's such a shame for such a lovely ship that you encountered some severe detail related issues. The hot tub being "broken" on such a new yacht sounds to me to be more that it wasnt completed vs it being actually broken. Also for the ultra premium price of this yacht, they should not have been so short staffed. This is Ritz Carlton, and in their hotels they have a rather nice staff to customer ratio. The fact that the drinks by the pool were just thrust into some bins with ice and the ice wasnt even replenished, that's a glaring hole. I was just looking at this ship today wondering about sailing on her, but until they get the issues ironed out, I wont do any more than just look at what a pretty yacht it is from the outside. Dont let this discourage you from sailing ultra luxury in the future. I think you might really like something like Seabourn or Regent. Something that's much more dialed in when it comes to their service as well as the operations of the ship. Seems to me like Evrima was rushed after she experienced plenty of Covid delays already, and she's just not quite ready for the prime time demands of luxury travellers.

Hi Will! I do believe that Moet is pronounced with the soft T but if you were to say "Moet & Chandon" then you would say a hard T. The reason being that the hard T usually comes if it were something like Moete, but obviously not the case here. Since Mo-e & Chandon doesn't roll off the tong so simply, you are "allowed" to pronounce the T in order to differentiate the names.

[@Trektrendy]

Thanks for watching Daniel. It’s actually a common misconception, and the T is pronounced regardless, as it’s name of Dutch heritage. This has been confirmed by LVMH - it’s a funny one I know

I heard, while aboard another small ship in the Caribbean over the Christmas holidays, that Ritz Carlton recruited their staff from their hotels and not from season cruising staff. The talk among cruise ship staff (and they DO talk to each other!) was that Ritz Carlton had no clue how to run their "floating hotel."

Not a $10,000 experience. Thank you for the honest review.

Finally an honest review. Please do more cruise ships. Nicely done

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with this cruise! I've been considering one especially since you can book it with Marriott points, but I think it still has a lot of kinks to work out. Was also surprised it required a tender to get to shore, given the small size of the "yacht"

Added to my bucket list. I like small ships not floating cities. Worth the money. Hope service has improved after Covid.

Excellent analysis Trek!!!! I definitely will be following your posts. Now, I feel like I've been well-informed on what they don't tell you regarding these expensive yacht cruises. Kudos and thank you!!!!!
