Every successful onboard career begins long before embarkation day.
For Tando, that journey started in the retail and fragrance industry — and evolved through the Cruise Retail Academy Careers Platform.
With strong experience as an Independent Sales Distributor, Tando built her foundation in consultative selling, customer retention, visual merchandising, and team leadership. She has trained distributor teams, boosted performance by 30%, and consistently demonstrated operational excellence in high-pressure retail environments.
But transitioning from land-based fragrance sales to cruise retail requires preparation beyond product knowledge.
Through the Academy Careers Platform, Tando accessed structured onboarding guidance, retail-focused preparation modules, and practical insight into life at sea — building not just confidence, but clarity.
💬 Tando shares:
“I am grateful to the Cruise Retail Academy and the onboard Academy Careers Platform as this really helped me prepare for life onboard thanks to all the free training and guidance from Rob & Adrian.”
Her passion for connecting with diverse communities and exploring new cultures makes cruise retail a natural next step.
Preparation builds confidence. Confidence drives performance.
Tando’s Academy journey is only just beginning. 🌊
