    Get to Know: Erin Weigand, Fleet Cruise Director

    I had the chance to sit down with Erin, one of my fellow Fleet Cruise Directors, for a conversation that I am thrilled to share. In this chat, we talk about her story, her career, and path to a life at sea, and we also dive into one of the most open and honest discussions I’ve had on this platform about real challenges faced by our female Cruise Directors. If you enjoy hearing candid insights from the people who help shape the guest experience across the fleet, you’ll love this one.

    Tea with Lee with Tony

    Today I took 20 minutes to sit down with Tony Williams, one of our fantastic fun squad hosts here on board a Carnival Panorama. Tony has been working at sea for 11 years and has been a part of the fun squad for the last five years. He was a part of the inaugural team here aboard the Carnival Panorama for her launch in 2019 and we’ve been delighted to have him back as a part of the return to service team.
