NASSAU, Bahamas — Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines (RCCL) has completed the hiring of 200 Bahamians for entry-level positions on its cruise ships and several for its private island, Coco Cay, as it pushes to meet its deadline for the May 2019 opening of the first phase of the cay’s redevelopment, the company’s president and CEO, Michael Bayley, said yesterday, the Nassau Guardian reported December 14.
Bayley, who paid a courtesy call to the National Training Agency (NTA), said RCCL made a commitment to the Bahamian government to hire 200 Bahamians per year, and yesterday, with the hiring of 25 more people at the NTA, RCCL fulfilled its promise.
RCCL’s recruitment team was in the The Bahamas specifically to find Bahamians to fill those positions on the cruise ships, and positions on Coco Cay for when the first phase of the cruise line’s “Perfect Day” experience on the cay begins next year.
“It is progressing very well,” Bayley said. “It is our intention to open the first phase, which is really the biggest phase, in May next year. We have also been building the pier. The pier is a little late in terms of schedule, but it will be fine in terms of the opening of phase one of Perfect Day.” https://thenassauguardian.com/2018/12/14/rccl-completes-hiring-of-200-bahamians-for-its-cruise-ships/
