"Nothing on a ship is more important than a healthy working space and teamwork. It's not just one person's responsibility to run the ship, it's the officers, crew, catering staff, engineers, cadets, etc - and I am thankful for all that I have worked with and continue to learn from" - Chief Officer Delicia Subramoney
