This week Cruise Weekly speaks with Skip
Lyons, Cruise Director onboard
Carnival Spirit.
How long have you
been with Carnival
Cruise Lines?
I’ve been with Carnival
Cruise Lines since 1997.
Over 15 years!
How long have you
been onboard Carnival
Spirit?
I’ve been onboard Carnival Spirit for the last
two months.
What do you love most about your job?
That’s a very easy question. I love interacting
and dealing with our guests. Watching them
as they board for the first time; everyone is
so excited. It’s great to see them partaking
and interacting with everything we have
available onboard.
What’s your favourite place onboard Carnival
Spirit?
My cabin. Just kidding! Being in the
entertainment area, I love a lot of areas on
the ship. I think the dining room offers such
an incredible menu, and it also brings a smile
to everyone’s face. It’s always great to walk
through the dining room. I also like walking
through the lounges and watching people
laugh at all the entertainment we have on
offer. If I had to choose, I’d be bias and pick
the lounge – from the shows and bands to
the punchliner comedy club – it’s the best
place to be!
What do you love about Australia?
Being Australian, I love the fact that I’m now
working out of home, on an aussified ship
and dealing with the Aussie public.
