Formerly senior vice president of Total Guest Satisfaction, Goldstein will now serve as executive vice president of brand operations. His areas of oversight will include fleet operations, newbuildings, marketing and sales, international, supply chain management, and Royal Celebrity Tours.
“By creating a separate operations group under Adam, we are able to give the Royal Caribbean brand the greater visibility and focus and the dedicated management it needs to achieve even greater success in the future,” said RCI President Jack Williams.
