  • One of the many reasons I love my job is because every single day is different, from the people I get to work with, to the places we go & even the weather conditions that are constantly changing. This is a glimpse into a day at sea during our past Mediterranean season. #celebritybeyond #cruiseship #captain #dayinthelife #faq #bts #ship

    Thanks for sharing a day in the life. As a Captain on an Oil Tanker a day in my life is a little different, a lot less uniform changes, 12kts rather than 19 but early call for restricted visibility is the same! Calm seas and a fair wind Capt.

    My father was a captain of an Oil Tanker in the 70s-late 90s. When his fleet was sold off and he was forced into early retirement he was courted by a bunch of Cruise Lines. I remember after about the third voyage with yet another company he came back and just said "I'm not sure I can do this". He became a teacher instead which he loved up until his death. Balancing the needs of the ship and the passengers was a little too different than what he was used to for that salty sea dog. Mad respect to you and your officers for handling all of that with skill and elegance.

    Great weather for flying type fish too. I always loved watching for wildlife when I used to cruise. If they don't have any inter-cruise classes on the best ways to watch and how to identify the most spotted animals, may I suggest it? Never saw that on a day's itinerary, but I would have taken it if it was.
