Former CEO Premier Cruise Lines - FULL INTERVIEW

[@aydenschaffler5051]

I still can't believe you managed to get an interview with the co-CEO of a once major cruise line. Stunning

[@zunair744]

Ayden Hascerflef the power of the internet

[@leonkernan]

Well technically he Skyped a retiree.

[@divideindustries7591]

Ayden Hascerflef 1 day ago? this was not even posted for an hour

[@theendoftown]

He's currently the CEO of Victory Cruise Lines. No retiree! www.linkedin.com/in/bruce-nierenberg-ba18118

Hi Jake, My aunt is a former Premier Cruise Lines employee. I shared this video and the Treasure Cay one with her and she shared them on a closed Facebook group for other former Premier employees and they really enjoy them. Keep up the good work!

[@BF2Cavs]

This dude is basically the genius behind the foundation of the entire Disney Cruise model

[@michaelderkacz5526]

Thats pretty insane to think about.

[@tnuoccaeht]

Part of why I love your Abandoned series so much is because I love learning about what made businesses go down. I wouldn't mind if you did more interviews like this with former CEOs because I wanna know what they have to say too!

[@quincylarsonmusic]

Thank you for preserving the tacit knowledge of the leadership of the cruise industry. I didn't know much about how the industry worked, but in just 50 minutes I feel like I've learned a great deal thanks to your patient, well-informed interview.

[@UnchartedTravel]

This is so cool! Great job man!

[@AmyMiller-tn2op]

I took a cruise with Premier in 1987. Absolutely beautiful ship, it was the largest one cruising from Florida to the Bahamas at that time.

[@konstantinoskoutsouris6792]

Hi Amy,was the Starship Oceanic and i was captain or staff captain ,that year

[@veggiedisease123]

[@AmyMiller-tn2op]

Konstantinos Koutsouris Oh that's amazing! Thank you for making our trip so memorable. I actually met the Captain and a lot of the staff while on board. I hope you are doing well.

[@konstantinoskoutsouris6792]

i'm doing well Amy, i hope and wish that you are doing well too

[@joanleary]

So happy you posted the full interview! This is so interesting. Love it.

[@blondeboyy]

Great interview Jake! It is very interesting to hear so much insider stuff about the cruise line he started.

[@MagicNomadic]

I worked as Staff Magician and lived on the Oceanic and a the Majestic in the 90s and loved every minute, I have met Bruce and he was the same then as he is here. Just as nice as he could be. I had NO idea at the time what a genius he is, thank you so much for posting this. I THOROUGHLY enjoyed it.

[@BrightSunFilms]

+Magic Nomadic That's so cool!

[@Smeghead44]

A fantastic interview, well done.

[@TheBIGJake111]

As an economics and marketing major, I love your abandoned series not because I have a thing for the art of an empty mall or am a Disney buff, but I love the Corporate history involved, its educational, well presented and classy as fuck, nice channel you have here, its great to see it continue to grow.

This is one of the most interesting sub-cultures that I've stumbled upon. On the surface it seems like it would dreadfully boring, but I find myself wanting to know every detail. And I will never be able to use this information. What's wrong with me?

[@slickvidproductions]

Sounds like you found a hobby.

[@dutchmiami]

cool......nice to see bruce again:-) i worked in pcl 12 years: from 1988 until the end........i served bruce and is family at the captains table on the atlantic and oceanic......and then saw him after that many years later again on ncl when he cruised with his family:-) was a great time on pcl

[@konstantinoskoutsouris6792]

Hi, i was those years captain on Oceanic,Atlantic and Majestic.Unforgettable times!!!!!

[@JeremyJamesDec15]

I was on the SS Oceanic and the big red boat II. I worked in the youth Dept. I worked there till the end as well.

[@wardwilliams1410]

Great video. You are so talented. Can't wait for the next one!

[@bigkahunaburger5185]

Brings back memories because my family sailed on the Oceanic when I was a teenager and we had a great time. You are doing a great job with your channel and this is an excellent interview.

[@seannielsen6587]

Great interview.....I remember we went on the Atlantic back in 96.........We did not go to the island I thought the weather was good. None of the pax seemed to mind. Everyone one had lots of fun on the ship.

[@KingAD0527]

I've never been so hype

[@二师兄-b6y]

this is great interview. thank you so much！

[@dkjphills79]

Fantastic interview. Thank you both for putting this together. Such interesting info. I would have loved to experience this when I was a kid.

[@lisam6848]

Loved listening to this . Worked on the Oceanic ( Big Red Boat ) as my first cruise experience. Love love loved it . Met amazing people ( still in contact ) It was the best ship. So many kids, so much fun, family feel among the staff) . oh , the 3 piggy opera was a blast every cruise !!!After that, I worked on Oceanbreeze ( Also Premier) Disney ( Magic ) and then 2 ships on Renaissance. Loved it all but the most memorable was defiantly the Big Red. Miss those days still over 30 years later !!!

[@travisspiva]

Being an avid follower of the cruise industry...I found this very interesting! Love the "Abandoned" series....Thanks!

[@duncanblue124]

thank you Jake once again another fantastic video. and connections you make like getting a former ceo. great work jake

[@wardwilliams1410]

This is really interesting. He is very knowledgable. You're interviewing skills are great.

[@jeremybreger4818]

This was a fascinating interview. Glad you did this.

[@lilyloveshair]

freakin awesome, love your abandoned series

[@BeigeEyesCroissantDragon]

You need more views and subs man the content is fantastic I just wish more people were into this sort of thing.

[@samerm8657]

This is awesome! :-D More such interviews. MOAR!

[@louisestirton]

fascinating insights, brilliant interview Jake thank you

[@Hfreisem]

Very cool! My first cruise was on the Oceanic

[@JustinStoneDiaz]

Great to see u in front of camera jake 🎥

[@bonkgaming4796]

Please try to do this more. I know its really hard but this was so interesting to listen to. Thank you

[@charlesharwood5705]

I have a feeling that this wasn't about the Abandonment of Treasure Cay, This seemed like more about the story if a once thriving cruise line and how it fell due to an island.

[@crowdedmall]

Great Interview Jake and Team!

[@Aryanbrotherhoodboxing]

Great interview bro!!!!! Do more like this!!! More Disney, try to get Michael Eisner!

[@jadev7297]

you should do episodes called cursed where you show people places and items that are supposedly cursed

[@451asians]

this is actually a really good idea

[@BeigeEyesCroissantDragon]

Too many people do this already.

[@rilling99]

dibs

[@samerm8657]

Already done by many people. I think the thing he's running is much more unique and much more valuable.

[@Massivecarcrash]

I enjoyed learning about this more than I thought I would.

[@nickalooyourmine09]

Please do service merchandise for your next video

[@JeremyJamesDec15]

I used to work on the big red boat 2 and SS Oceanic and worked there till the very end.

[@atticusgore777]

This is so great.

[@skandarc2810]

[@evanoc]

[@jxmpking4384]

[@twinsmm1]

Maybe it should be renamed Port Carnival from Port Canaveral.

[@autobotdiva9268]

Never heard of the line

[@kobra6660]

Premier couldve been big Disney had the money for new ships premier had port Canaveral all to themselves than carnival learned all their ideas everything on carnival ships came from premier cruise

[@veggiedisease123]

He didn't get it from his dad. He went out and probably shopped the idea to a bunch of places before Dial finally said yes. He even says they were tough negotiators.
