GatorCruiser Posted March 18, 2022 Report Posted March 18, 2022 I made sure to seek him out in the Casino when I sailed odyssey in December. He was quite gracious for some rando approaching him and saying I read his posts from this site EmptyNestTravels, CHRIS WONG and cruisellama 2 1 Quote

He was quite gracious for some rando approaching him and saying I read his posts from this site I sought him out on the Odyssey too, but I didn’t feel “rando” at all because of prior communication with him on this forum. The Rice Krispie Treats and socks I brought for him helped a bit too lol. CHRIS WONG, GatorCruiser and JohnK6404 2 1 Quote
GatorCruiser Posted December 30, 2022 Report Posted December 30, 2022 Bump, just wondering how Chris is doing and if he’s still with Royal ? @CHRIS WONG Quote
smokeybandit Posted December 30, 2022 Report Posted December 30, 2022 Based on his recent videos, he took a break from signing up for a new contract to figure out where he wants his career/life to take him and if that involves the cruise life. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote

Makes me wonder if corporate didn't like it. Social media and business is complex. Even if you don't say the wrong thing, marketing likes to be the only entity in control of all messaging.

WannaCruise Posted January 2, 2023 Report Posted January 2, 2023 We met him a few years ago on Independence. He's a really nice friendly guy. Very down to earth. RCIfan1912 1 Quote
GatorCruiser Posted January 2, 2023 Report Posted January 2, 2023 Glad to see he may re up for a contract. Royal needs crew like @CHRIS WONG. Very personable fellow. Quote
JohnK6404 Posted January 6, 2023 Report Posted January 6, 2023 It's official! Chris is flying out tomorrow to Miami to begin his next contract on Symphony this weekend! GatorCruiser 1 Quote
WAAAYTOOO Posted January 6, 2023 Report Posted January 6, 2023 Cool ! We’ll be on SY 1-14-23 and 2-11-23 JohnK6404 and Ampurp85 2 Quote
GatorCruiser Posted January 6, 2023 Report Posted January 6, 2023 I watched video. Sounds like his symphony contract might be the end of the road for him and Royal Caribbean. If so, its been a good run, chris! Quote

To me it sounds like instead of him picking one passion over the other, he's going to balance them out more in life as long as he has the freedom to do so. Quote

CruisingNewb Posted January 6, 2023 Report Posted January 6, 2023 Chris Wong is young, talented and has a skill set or two that will get him far in life. We met him last June. Aside from the observations and experiences regarding Chris being a "nice" guy, what impressed me the most was that even though he was on his shift, he would take that split second or two to pose for a picture with cruiser-fans, while still being able to maintain his duties as a Casino host. I mean, as a casino host, your job, amongst others, is to be the face of the casino and greet guests, but he stuck a good balance of work-related meet and greet and fan service. I like this dude and watch his videos often, not as often as we watch Matt's YouTubes (lol), and I see a bright future for him whether with Royal or elsewhere. CrimsonCruiser and CHRIS WONG 2 Quote
CHRIS WONG Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 I have made it onboard Symphony and have settled into my new home for the next 7 months. Once again, I am very excited to share with you guys my adventures over the course of this contract. It was a tough decision for me to come back to work, some of you may know that I went through some difficult circumstances back home, but I am happy to be back!

sk8erguy1978 Posted January 18, 2023 Report Posted January 18, 2023 I was supposed to sail Symphony this February but last minute tweaks put us on Oasis. Maybe I'll jump on the 5 day in March, it would be my last shot at trying to get prime. A working gambling cruise LOL. CHRIS WONG 1 Quote
Maggie M Posted January 18, 2023 Report Posted January 18, 2023 I may have to visit the casino more frequently now! Love your videos! Welcome back Chris! CHRIS WONG and CruisingNewb 2 Quote
CruisingNewb Posted January 18, 2023 Report Posted January 18, 2023 Now that Chris Wong is on the Symphony, we may have to take another cruise soon! We can kill 2 birds with 1 stone if we can get @Matt on board too (PUN INTENDED). Matt and CHRIS WONG 1 1 Quote

CHRIS WONG Posted February 2, 2023 Report Posted February 2, 2023 An honest talk about how I'm really feeling about working on cruise ships as a crew member. All of your advice so far has been amazing! JohnK6404, JC Pats and tmp916 3 Quote
smokeybandit Posted February 2, 2023 Report Posted February 2, 2023 Many of us older than you have been in that exact same crossroads in our careers and/or lives. You'll figure it out, but just don't rush to figure it out. And whatever you decide for the 2nd half of your career, do it because you want to do it, not because you feel you have to do it because you see others around you making their own life decisions. fireclan, teddy, CHRIS WONG and 3 others 6 Quote
AKM Posted February 3, 2023 Report Posted February 3, 2023 Yay on Symphony early May out of Barcelona, Spain. Will make a beeline for the casino to meet Chris . cruisellama and CHRIS WONG 2 Quote
