Interview: RCCL Chief Meteorologist James Van Fleet

[VoyageReport]

Good morning, all:

 

As many of you may know, James Van Fleet is the chief meteorologist for Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. For our latest podcast, we chat with Jim about this extremely active hurricane season, how he forecasts the weather for one of the world's largest cruise lines, how he helps decide which ships to divert or cancel, and why he thinks it's so important to respond to cruisers on social media. He also reveals his top tips for travelers and the one social media insult toward him that he's now considering putting on a t-shirt!

His videos took place of the Captain's updates on Oasis (and I suspect on other ships) during Irma.
