Celebrity Solstice Review

admin — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 10:05:16 +0000

Celebrity Solstice Review

Solstice is the first of a new class of five vessels to be launched through 2012, and on the first swing Celebrity has hit it out of the park. In many cases, a cruise line’s “new class” often means just a larger, or slightly tweaked, version of a previous design. At 122,000 tons, Solstice has the size credentials, being the largest Celebrity ship ever launched, but there’s much more to this vessel.

Solstice has one of the best interior architecture designs we’ve ever seen, and passenger flow is excellent. While the ship’s passenger-to-space ratio is standard for the industry, we never felt crowded and never experienced a single long line. On our completely full sailing the ship felt half-empty. Solstice is also an extremely easy ship to navigate, even for first-time cruisers. Everything is clustered: all the entertainment is forward; the food is aft; and — insiders are quick to point out — the money (casino, reception, shops) is in the middle. Even the specialty restaurants are all clustered on a single deck (Deck 5).

Solstice’s style blossoms from the root of its name, “sol,” meaning “sun.” Even the casino chips bear images of the sun, a different stylistic representation on each denomination. And the sun plays an important role for the ship, from powering the 216 solar panels that contribute — although to a minor extent — to the ship’s electrical grid, to nurturing what is perhaps the most unique feature of this, or any other, ship: a full half-acre of lush living grass. Called the Lawn Club, this area features bocce courts, a putting course and the Hot Glass Show, where passengers can delight in seeing the creation of complex works of glass art from basic raw materials to the finished objects. Other “green” innovations include improvements in hull design and coatings, which boost fuel efficiency, and the use of eco-friendly refrigerants and lighting.

The sounds of the sailors

admin — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 09:41:46 +0000

The sounds of the sailorsMany times I was asked how could work on ships the world’s largest vacation?There is a desire among many people to change career grinding routine did not always appreciate the hard work that they perform. Or too low remuneration.

I asked if it was possible to combine work with pleasure?!?

Is there a job you can earn it and save?

Did I learn about different cultures see the big world and add professional knowledge promote me?

So the answer is yes and yes!

There is one place to work.

Working on ships in the world is something uniquely fascinating work with high-earning possibilities, experience driving trip around the world. The ability to combine fascinating work in a floating 6-star hotel with high personal satisfaction and a desire to remain on board without going home, we certainly recognized.

World tourism industry is growing and developing faster than any other industry, most industry and Cruises. We saw it in Israel, but we intend to work on Israeli passenger ships, but the biggest ships in the world who work all year on average between 2500 to 3500 passengers.

1000-1600 staff, this is really a city floating length of 300 meters height and 60 meters under water, downtown is about 8 feet …

Due to the huge growth in the industry created high demand for workers in many fields related to this industry. But despite all the growth and growth of the industry in the world, this branch also injured as a result of political changes in the world mainly as a result of the events of 11 September.

Trend of bankruptcies of large companies and taking strong on weaker companies also came Cruises industry.

One of mergers of small companies with large companies showed remarkable success by the number of parameters is:

+ celebrity cruises prestigious company bought by Royal Caribbean several years ago. This trend will continue in the coming years so that only large companies with strong financial background will be in this market sector.

World cruise industry changes the attitude towards me is a kind of cruise vacation only to the Golden Age.

The new version that ships with the existing mega large pools, skating, entertainment Avenue, attractive crowd of all ages, families and youth. Vacations with a variety of such population appreciates the service contributes significantly to the team, even at reference level evaluation team and the financial reward.

In fact management positions working on high salaries and excellent conditions Assistants waiters start from scratch, but just know that many hotel managers began as assistant waiters and advanced administrative positions.

Staff officers will see a variety of leisure destinations around the world: the Caribbean (Hamitiim. ..), Northern Europe, Canary Islands, Mediterranean garden, Alaska, South America, Far East, Australia, Hawaii and more …

Dining room staff officers redeploy the 4 dining rooms, there’s no way you stay hungry, eat the same food the passengers sometimes even more luxurious. Ship there are approximately 50 different nationalities from South Central and North America, Europe, Asia and of course, there are also Israeli ambassadors. A wonderful opportunity to meet people and cultures from around the world to learn languages and be pampered for an international food.

Theme parties, festivals, festive, karaoke are a major part bhavi team, if you choose to do for “Togo” or songs of the nineties or the celebration of India’s Independence Day foods characteristic of music that accompanies a lot of fun. Club parties are great team or even the open deck reserved for staff only, by the pool or Jacuzzi are just for them!

Internet cafes and even browsing available wireless, it’s not that obvious but the company is out of her way to make the time the family is the staff.

Your spare time you can go out the various ports or choose to stay aboard sunbathe go to the gym or join only team he’s barbecue.

If you choose to go outside the ports, then the sky’s the limit really short tracks with Alaska on foot or helicopter over the glaciers, the most light diving sites in the Caribbean, nachos with Mexican tequila or horseback riding along the beach in Costa Rica, or just sit in a cafe in Rome, there Border Just do not forget to be back in time.

Ship as everywhere in management positions has several other conditions as the pleasure to dine at restaurants

To join a karate or restaurants where guests dine as guests feel yourself.

Enjoy performing in the theater is about 2 stories high and contains 1500 seats and enjoy the performances and productions of Broadway or Las Vegas or other comedians Frformrim chances that bored, or just enjoy the bars pizzerias Ohgalidriut, scattered on the ship only to drink too much and, outside the casino.

If we try to summarize and see what what you should work on American passenger ships in international and comparative advantages we reach the conclusion that:

Treats different parties and productions team, but if we drink so we do not we just

Go to sleep.

7. Work is for people who know the English language and can speak it with confidence. Service awareness is very necessary knowledge and experience are very important.

Many times as you enter the 6-star hotel there is little such excitement, such a sense of national celebrity and a sense that we, on Royal Caribbean Cruises and Celebrity Cruises in the team feels it’s time to return home after 4 or 6 months contract ended, you will feel sense the feeling of the experience of leave home, a pleasant floating.

Security Department

admin — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 09:02:27 +0000

Cruise ship operators had already been operating under various iterations of the ISPS Code found in previous resolutions. For example, following the Achille Lauro hijacking, the IMO decided to adopt a resolution on measures to prevent unlawful acts from threatening the safety of ships and the security of their passengers and crews (Assembly Resolution A584[14]).Subsequently, guidelines were established by the IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) in one of its circulars ‘Measures to Prevent Unlawful Acts against Passengers and Crew On-board Ships’ (MSC Circular 443). Requirements such as the development of a security plan, the implementation of appropriate security measures, the performance of risk-based security surveys or assessments, and training to enhance security awareness were adopted and put into place. In many cases, they were virtually identical to the ISPS Code requirements adopted 20 years later. In 2005, the rest of the maritime industry is, in many respects, catching up with what the cruise industry has been doing for two decades.
