Familiarity with point-of-sale systems, safety protocols, and basic office software is usually beneficial, and some positions may require first aid or safety certifications. Effective communication, teamwork, flexibility, and a positive attitude are important soft skills for engaging with guests and crew members from diverse backgrounds. These skills ensure smooth operations, enhance guest experiences, and allow interns to grow professionally in the unique environment found at sea.
