Getting to know the learner was our first priority<\/span><\/h3>\n

But for an audience who comes from all over the globe, that posed a challenge. While everyone aboard the ship is English-speaking, they have completely different cultural context and reading abilities. While a strawberry might be a common fruit in the United States, someone living across the world might never have seen a strawberry. And because of different learning environments, some individuals might be better at reading English than speaking English and vice versa.<\/span><\/p>\n

This global audience brought unique challenges. So, we put extra care into course development details and equipped the learners with a combination of voiceover, on-screen text, and photo-centric explanations to reach the learner exactly where they are.<\/span><\/p>\n

Strategic planning for course development<\/span><\/h3>\n

This project has a massive scope. 300+ courses for 15,000 learners across 14 roles and counting. With such a large initiative and so many separate workstreams, we knew early on that we\u2019d need a dedicated team. Maestro assembled a group of writers, designers, and project managers whose sole focus was creating beautiful content for Royal Caribbean while gaining expertise and improving processes that helped scale the initiative. <\/span><\/p>\n

To achieve a business impact as quickly as possible, Maestro prioritized roles by learner volume.<\/span><\/p>\n

Training powered by modern design<\/span><\/h3>\n

The courses are primarily designed in Articulate Rise, a software our team has learned to stretch to the limits in the name of a great experience. And not only do the courses look good\u2014they work great, too, no matter where the learner is or what device they\u2019re using.<\/span><\/p>\n

An award-winning experience<\/h3>\n

Royal Caribbean is committed to building an amazing experience for their employees because the better the employee\u2019s experience, the better the customer\u2019s experience. This commitment has lead us to create out-of-the-box learning opportunities that go above and beyond the original scope, like bartender training that features custom illustrations and animations that bring the \u201cwow\u201d to the learning experience.<\/p>\n

This Brandon Hall Gold Award-winning simulation offers a more entertaining and effective learning experience, all while saving Royal Caribbean company resources. Practicing mixing drinks can be costly, but providing adequate training to bartenders is incredibly important, as mixing drinks incorrectly diminishes taste and may pose health risks. Our Simulation not only helps Royal Caribbean\u2019s bartenders to master mixing cocktails in a risk-free environment, but boosts learner engagement and retention through its inventive, gamified approach to bartender training.<\/p>
