You
Officers : Officers are a breed apart. Unless you have
already been exposed to a military environment, it can take
some getting used to. Officers live in a world where strict
obedience and respect are of the utmost importance. If you show
officers the respect they expect, you will not have a problem.
The best answer to an officer's command is a prompt and enthusiastic
"YES SIR!"
Cruise Director : He/she is in charge of all on-board
entertainment and has a long and hectic schedule. The Cruise
Director can fire anyone who is not fitting in. Make it a point
to cultivate a good relationship with your Cruise director.
