  • Lead regular hotel inspections and product reviews, ensuring service, cleanliness, safety, and maintenance standards are consistently met or exceeded.
  • Review guest feedback (including Passenger Relations data, Passenger in Focus files, and Let Us Know forms), identify trends and root causes, and drive cross-functional action plans to surprise and delight guests.
  • Chair the shipboard CRUISE Steering Committee, ensuring all meetings, initiatives, and engagement activities are delivered effectively and support the onboard culture and guest experience.
