EVERYTHING THAT ARISES FROM A MEETING…

Angelo Tramontana is one of the longest-serving team members at Selection Partners.  Before the pandemic Angelo was already working remotely and with the pandemic he left to Italy and since then he continued to work remotely from there.   While traveling through Spain, Angelo traveled to visit me.  It was a nice meeting because we hadn't seen each other for more than two years.  And despite being on vacation we did nothing but talk about our crewmembers that are the reason why we get up every day.

Great announcement from Royal Caribbean!

We have an important role in the recruitment and retention of great crew talent.  We are committed to keep our new hires informed and prepared for their exciting journey ahead, assisting them with all the required documentation to be travel ready. Since the moment we started working for Royal Caribbean, we have had empathy for our candidates having so many expenses to finally get on board.  That is why we have been asking the company to reduce these expenses. And we did it!  We are excited to share the great announcement that we received from RCCL: . As of July 1, 2023, newly hired Hotel crewmembers will have their joining ticket covered by the Company. RCCL will also cover the associated travel expenses at the joining destination.   The joining travel expenses include airfare, hotel accommodation and ground transportation.   We know that this change in the air-ticket policy will help a lot to get more good candidates.

PRINCESS CRUISES AND THE ORGANIZAATIONAL CULTURE

Our highest responsibility, and therefore our top priorities, are always compliance; environmental protection; and the health, safety and well-being of our guests, the people in the places we visit, and our team members — both shoreside and shipboard. To achieve the culture we aspire to, it is essential that we all commit to speak up when something’s not right; to respect and to protect each other and our guests, and the communities we touch; and to continuously improve so that we’re bringing our very best to everything we do every time.

THE POST-PANDEMIC WORLD

During the pandemic we changed our work... We stopped embarking people... we had to repatriate all the crew members who had remained on board. At that time we had about 1000 crew members... That task took a few months and our Billing down to "zero". We were able to sustain the company because we were betting on the "return to service"... but with a lot of uncertainty.
