Talking with the Cruise Director and Restaurant Manager of Celebrity Equinox and the Designer of the Carnival Ships

Last week, I wrote about all of Celebrity Equinox’s physical attributes. However, a ship is only the platform for the cruise experience. What the crew does with that platform makes or breaks the guests’ cruise experience. Accordingly, this week I wanted to highlight two interviews in which the crew talks about what they are doing with Celebrity Equinox.

In the first interview, Cruise Director Gary Walker talks about the lifestyle and the entertainment onboard Equinox. My interview with Mr. Walker is at: http://www.beyondships.com/Celebrity-Equinox-art-Walker.html

The second interview is with Restaurant Manager Fatih Korkmaz in which he describes the various dining options on the Equinox. This interview appears at http://www.beyondships.com/Celebrity-Equinox-art-Korkmaz.html

Switching from Celebrity Cruises to Carnival Cruise Lines, guests on the Carnival ships are familiar with their unique interior designs. They are not like what one would typically encounter in a hotel. Rather, they are bold, imaginative and creative.

The man responsible for these designs is architect Joe Farcus. I asked him about the thinking behind these designs, his influences and what he seeks to achieve with his designs. I found his answers thoughtful and interesting. My interview with Mr. Farcus is at http://www.beyondships.com/Carnival-art-Farcus.html
