Social media is a marketing key for every corner of the hospitality industry. Even on a cruise, your guests may spend a lot of time checking social media posts, sharing their experiences, and looking for things to do at the next port. How can you leverage this phenomenon to earn more money for your cruise line? Here are a couple of quick tips:

• Hold photo contests – Have your guests post a pic of their drink at the bar, meal at the dining room, or souvenir from the gift shop. Others who are exploring what to do may find out they don’t even have to leave the ship to have their next great experience. Be sure to offer a prize to the winning photo to sweeten the deal and encourage people to participate.
• Create great photo opportunities onboard – From the sundeck and pool to the buffet line and the cabins, make sure that guests have plenty of spots they will want to take a selfie to share with their friends. It may even encourage someone to give your cruise a try.
