Modern Training Centers Put Priority on Cruise Safety

Back in 2012, I had the opportunity to see Royal Caribbean Cruises Limited's training facility at Resolve Marine Group in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, where it was christening its own bridge simulator during the annual Cruise Shipping Miami conference (now renamed back to Seatrade Cruise Global). At Resolve, bridge simulations are paired with a physical ship mockup that can be set ablaze and flooded for fire suppression and flood damage training.

While the Resolve facility is utilized by Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, and Azamara Club Cruises officers and crew, Captain William Wright, Senior VP of Marine Operations at Royal Caribbean International, reminded that "safety is not proprietary."

As the largest two corporations in the cruise industry, Carnival Corporation and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. both set a strong example for cruise safety across the board.
