At the Cruise Retail Academy, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing our candidates achieve their goals and begin making a real impact onboard.

For Elwyne, the journey to cruise retail was built on preparation, patience, and determination. After investing in his development and embracing the training and guidance available through the Academy, Elwyne secured his opportunity onboard Norwegian Luna and is now thriving as part of the retail team.

What makes his story particularly special is that his hard work is already being recognised by guests.

Recently, Elwyne received guest comment cards praising the extra effort he made to help guests find exactly what they were looking for. For any retail professional, there is no greater compliment than knowing your service has made such a positive impression that a guest takes the time to share their appreciation.

Sharing the feedback with the Academy, Elwyne wrote:

"Both guests mentioned the extra effort I made to help them find exactly what they were looking for, which was very encouraging to read."

He went on to explain how the knowledge, encouragement, and inspiration provided through the Cruise Retail Academy helped shape the way he approaches every guest interaction.

"Your training has helped shape how I approach guest interactions every day, and it is rewarding to see those efforts reflected in guest recognition."

For us, this is exactly what the Academy is all about. Preparing candidates not only to join a ship, but to succeed once they get there.

Elwyne's journey is a fantastic reminder that success onboard doesn't happen by accident. It comes from preparation, commitment, and a genuine desire to create memorable guest experiences.

To those currently preparing for their own opportunity at sea, his message is simple:
