Who is who on board: Part Three
There are many hundreds of crew on board responsible for creating
your cruise experience. Some you come across every day and others
you may never see as they drive operations behind the scenes. Three
of the most visible ones on every ship are:
Excursion Manager
The Excursion Manager is responsible for the promotion, bookings
and delivery of the port-excursion program. They are a valuable
source of information about the best things to do in port, as they
see all the ratings and comments left by previous guests and have
usually visited the destination often.
Future Sales Manager
The Future Sales Manager is responsible for promoting and taking
bookings for future cruises with the cruise line. They will usually
be able to offer extra discounts or benefits than if you book once
back home. They can also give good advice and tips on popular
routes, ships and cabins.
Restaurant Maîitre d’
The Maître d’s are responsible for managing the restaurants. They
manage the table seating and the service from the waiting staff.
They will be the person to discuss any dietary issues, special
requirements and if you want to be allocated another table.
