CHRIS WONG

The option for me to come back will always be there.

I love your take and perspective of my decision to leave. Right now, I am very happy with how my final contract is going so far, and I will certainly enjoy what time I have left onboard. I am confident this next phase of my life is going to surprise a lot of people! All will be revealed soon!

Am I making a mistake quitting? Second thoughts? In this week's vlog, I give an update as to how things are currently going onboard after 1 month into my final contract.

I think I've definitely gotten away with posting things I'm not supposed to as well...

Actually, when it comes to my social media, the company has been very quiet...

The beginning of the end... My farewell tour starts now!

Thanks! This is definitely not the last of seeing the two of us together.

Do any of you like watching Bryan? We met on my second day onboard Allure, and literally decided at that moment to make a video. Nothing was planned or scripted. Just a real conversation whilst holding my camera. Of course, the main topic of discussion was both of us deciding to leave our jobs and saying goodbye to shiplife - as we reflect back on a careers with Royal Caribbean.

Oh my goodness, thank you so much everyone for all of the kind messages! I'm honestly surprised as to how my announcement has been received. Sometimes it's hard to realise just how many people are watching the vlog. Thank you Matt and team for featuring me in the amazing blog post! You guys summarised my whole career perfectly. I'm very excited for you all to see my upcoming videos. I'm treating everyday of my final contract as a 'farewell tour'

I have officially announced and decided that this will be my last ever contract as a crew member for Royal Caribbean. After a long career with this company, it is now time to move on to the next phase of my life. I am excited and nervous for what is to come, but just wanted to thank Matt and this community for allowing me to share my life on this platform.

not true.

What a year it's been! From starting-up Icon Of The Seas, to getting promoted. Thank you all!

I received my 5 year recognition award this year!

My new name badge! Contract has been signed!

Happy to announce that I've been promoted to Casino Host! Let me know if you are cruising onboard Quantum Of The Seas anytime soon. Here's me explaining all the details about my promotion!

This is how it feels to be directly underneath the ship!

I agree. Also not my favourite place to eat onboard. I thought the meals were very average...

It's times like this why I love my job!
