Just two days to go! As Ventura prepares to return to service and once again create unforgettable holiday happiness for our guests, we’ve been catching up with a few of our colleagues on board to hear their stories.
Say hello to Reinbert Alfonso, Stage Crew

My dream was always to work at sea and I finally joined Ventura in 2013. Initially I joined as a Laundry Assistant but cross-trained to join the Entertainment Department. I am now a proud member of the Stage Production Team.
Any top tips for the new ways of working and protocols on board?
“Rewind your memory back to the time of the operational pause and the peak of the pandemic and it will remind you to follow the new ways of working and protocols without fail each day. Skipping the rules will only put yourself and others at risk.”
How do you relax and look after your wellbeing after a busy day?
“We make sure we chat with our colleagues on deck and in the crew lounge, The Hub, talking about our working day and families and looking out for each other.”
And last but not least, the big question… what are you most excited about returning to service?
“I can now keep my promises to my family and pursue my goal of becoming Stage Manager.”
Thanks Reinbert for sharing your story and good luck with your career goals! We wish you and all our colleagues on board Ventura a fantastic season of creating unforgettable holiday happiness for our guests.
