5 Revealing Questions

Giuseppe Romano

Commodore

Number of Years with Princess:

34

Number of Countries Visited:

72

Hometown:

Sorrento, Italy

A little about my job:

As Commodore of Princess Cruises I’m the senior master of the fleet and I’m a special point of contact for the company and other captains should they need guidance.

I’m currently in command of Ruby Princess sailing on 7-day Eastern Caribbean itineraries. This summer, I’ll be sailing 12-day Grand Mediterranean itineraries between Venice and Barcelona. Being a ship’s captain requires a mostly enjoyable but rigorous combination of job skills. I’m a mixture of mariner, manager, mentor and master of ceremonies. Dividing my time between the bridge and my other duties is a delicate balance. I like to spend as much time as possible on the bridge because there I’m able to better teach my young officers and share with them my experience and knowledge of a particular ship and also pass along my love for this job and for the sea in general. At the same time, I love going around meeting with passengers and crew.

3.

4.

Go with the flow (this means be patient and deal with whatever comes along).

A 6-month trip in a camper with my wife to the Canadian Rockies and the western United States.

    Thanks for the publish. I have often observed that the majority of people are desperate to lose weight because they wish to show up slim and attractive. Nonetheless, they do not usually realize that there are other benefits for losing weight in addition. Doctors say that obese people are afflicted with a variety of illnesses that can be directly attributed to their excess weight. The good thing is that people who’re overweight and suffering from different diseases can reduce the severity of the illnesses by way of losing weight. It is possible to see a progressive but identifiable improvement in health whenever even a moderate amount of weight loss is realized.

    Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it had been extremely long) so I guess I’ll just conclude what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new at all to everything. Do you have any helpful hints for rookie blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.
