The producers tell everyone what to do and say for entertainment purposes, otherwise the program is boring, just watching people do their work. It is hard to believe that it took a television program to get a CEO to know some of his own people and what they actually did! Gadget, what's surprising to me is that NCL would allow CEO Sheehan-Doofus to be accurately portrayed as such a divested and distant monarch that he had no clue how any of the entertainment, maintenance and operational activities were delivered, performed and assigned. The only conclusion I can come from this is: 1) The advertisement was worth the embarrassment. 2) Most people expect ivory castled corporate officers. There was a CEO who turned around several cruise lines by working along with his crew many years ago, and he didn't need a disguise to demonstrate the importance of the most routine details in serving the needs of cruise passengers. Kevin is a good guy, even if he is not a great CEO. He is just another accountant that is leading many cruise lines today. Accountant! The exact impression I got; he looks, acts and sees problems as numbers. Jerk. I don't think the CEO should be the one going out. It's not their job in the first place to manage the lower employees. He has a staff to do that for him and I think they should send the executive responsible for a particular job out instead of the CEO. What ****es me off is the the ending of each show is the same. Handouts to a few people. Rich |

We have talked to several people who work as wait-staff or stewards and they said they share a cabin with 3 other people. 2 upper bunks and 2 lower bunks. He definitely did NOT have a cabin "similar to the crew". |
