  • 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.

Captain was in bed - and actually got stuck in his quarters due to the damage to the destroyer, but he was still held accountable for the accident as Captain.

    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.
