I've always used the line: "The more you sail, the more you sell."
For me, that sums up the cruise sector. The more experience you have, the more confidence you build, and the better you can advise your customers.
I've been working in cruise for around 14 years. I spent about nine years at Carnival UK, working across P&O Cruises and Princess Cruises, before moving to Iglu, where I've now been for around four years.
If you’re prepared to put the effort in, this industry can be very rewarding. A big part of that development has been getting onboard myself. I've probably done around 25 or 30 cruises now, with much of my annual leave spent at sea.
