What is the hierarchy on a cruise ship? |
You should be aware of the hierarchy on the cruise ship:
- Captain (Master of the Vessel)
- Staff Captain (2nd in Command)
- Hotel Director
- Cruise Director (Director of Entertainment)
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.
