Cruise Staff
Being a Cruise Director is a very busy job. Passengers can enjoy a wide variety of exciting activities. It is the Cruise Director who plans, coordinates, and makes sure these fun activities happen. Many Cruise Directors are entertainers that are now doing this job. Others, such as John Anderson the Cruise Director on our cruise, came to the job through their education. John graduated from college with a degree in Recreation. Regardless of how they got there they are very busy, love working with people, and are very good at what they do!

| There is never a dull day on the ship. However if you want to just relax and read, that can be done too. You can swim in one of the swimming pools or just soak in the sun. Being on a cruise ship is one of the best vacations possible. | ||
