MEET...FLO!
Flo applied for Disney Cruise Line through us here at excellent recruitment, and is currently onboard the Disney Magic as a Youth Activities Counselor!
We caught up with Flo and had some important questions we wanted to ask!...
What do you enjoy most about being a Youth Activities Counselor?
"seeing the youngest cruisers have their Disney dreams come true by meeting all the characters and enjoying all the amazing spaces."
Which activity do you most enjoy doing with the children, and why?
"I most enjoy hosting character dance parties, as they get so many kids involved, and when a character comes to join in, they bring an energetic, exciting atmosphere for not only the smallest cruisers but the counselors too, making everyone in the Oceaneers beam!"
What has been your favourite destination to visit, and what made it special?
"I have been to so many destinations with Disney Cruise Line it’s impossible to pick a favourite I’ve been lucky enough to visit the Caribbean, Puerto Rico, Alaska and Canada to just name a few, these are places I’ve had the opportunity to visit just from working with Disney Cruise Line and I’m so grateful for this!"
How do you like to spend your free time when you're not working?
"When I am not at work I spend my free time either with friends getting off the ship to enjoy the beautiful ports or heading up to deck 9 either look at the beautiful views or to catch some sunshine 🌞"
Can you share a memorable moment or experience from your time as a Youth Activities Counselor?
"The most memorable moment for me was that first day on board when as a new hire group we watched the Sail-A-Wave party on the open deck. This for me was such a special moment as I really felt that Disney Magic in full effect and it made me so excited to start making the same magic for guests in and outside of the Oceaneers club and lab."
