Function
-
The primary role of the event coordinator on a Celebrity Cruise ship is to schedule, manage and oversee shipboard group events and private functions. The event coordinator also liaises with the shore side event coordinator for events such as weddings and vow renewals, ensuring everything necessary is in place and coordinating the hand-off to the shore side event coordinator.
Expectations
-
One of the core aspects of any director or coordinator on the Celebrity Cruises activity staff is to maintain brand integrity through one's own behavior and the behavior of one's employees. An individual in the event coordinator role needs to deeply familiarize himself or herself with Celebrity Cruises' Pillars of Safety, Service and Style, ISM/ISO standards, USPH guidelines, and environmental regulations and ensure all activities are in accordance with these standards.

Considerations

Celebrity Cruises prefers that candidates for this role complete contracts in other roles, such as activities staff, front office coordinator or a shore excursion position, before applying to this role. Candidates who speak a second language -- namely Spanish, German or French -- are preferred.
