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!
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!
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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 !!!
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
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.
I still can't believe you managed to get an interview with the co-CEO of a once major cruise line. Stunning
Ayden Hascerflef the power of the internet
Well technically he Skyped a retiree.
Ayden Hascerflef 1 day ago? this was not even posted for an hour
He's currently the CEO of Victory Cruise Lines. No retiree!

Hi Jake,

This dude is basically the genius behind the foundation of the entire Disney Cruise model
Thats pretty insane to think about.
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.
This is so cool! Great job man!
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.
Hi Amy,was the Starship Oceanic and i was captain or staff captain ,that year

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.
i'm doing well Amy, i hope and wish that you are doing well too
So happy you posted the full interview! This is so interesting. Love it.
Great interview Jake! It is very interesting to hear so much insider stuff about the cruise line he started.
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?
Sounds like you found a hobby.

you should do episodes called cursed where you show people places and items that are supposedly cursed
this is actually a really good idea
Too many people do this already.
dibs
Already done by many people. I think the thing he's running is much more unique and much more valuable.
Being an avid follower of the cruise industry...I found this very interesting! Love the "Abandoned" series....Thanks!

EARLY SQUAD WHERE YOU AT!!!!!

I watched it on Monday because I donate to Patreon. So I was technically before you by a few days...
You should do a video about Conneaut Lake Park in Pennsylvania . It was amazing back in the day, but now its just hardly holding together..
Will you ever do an abandoned on Hollywood video/game crazy?
T-roy T i used to go to hollywood video all the time
I would loooove to see a video about HMV UK or HMV Canada (although it won't be gone until April 30)
What program did you use to record this Skype call?
does it matter? he used a screen recorder
Which one tho? I'm interested because I haven't found a screen recorded that works so smoothly.

But for a little time, they had Holland America's Flagship, Rotterdam (Rembrandt).
Can you please do Alaska igloo hotel or northern lights inn hotel!!! There both abandon!!
Jake, I have a request can you do N&W Roanoke shops
Good stuff.
Can you make a video about if the cruise businesses will continue after the pandemic
YES
Incredibly interesting! And Jake is kind of cute ;)
Do Abandoned: RadioShack?
Is this were you live???
Do Disney's Mineral King!
Richmond time square it's not fully closed yet but it soon will
Maybe it should be renamed Port Carnival from Port Canaveral.
Hey Jake can you do movie stop
Jake can you do jaws ride
Never heard of the line
#earlysquad #notificationsqaud
I got unsubscribed and missed so many abandoned episodes.
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
Interesting

Donald trump gets a million this guy gets 12 and you guys are amazed by this guy?
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.
