How important is healthy living to you?
Royal Caribbean places a great deal of emphasis on ensuring their employees embrace healthy living. "Staying healthy is a priority for many of our team members, irrespective of where in the world their job might take them. As you travel to all the exciting places around the globe with us, we want to help ensure that you have access to all of the things that make a healthy lifestyle possible. Onboard our ships, we have a wide range of healthy food options that cater to every dietary need, as well as fully-equipped workout facilities. Whether you're taking a morning jog while enjoying a panoramic view of the open ocean, or discovering a new cuisine in an exotic port-of-call, a career with Royal Caribbean can be an opportunity to build a balanced lifestyle."
"Part of the allure of this job is that I would be getting a solid workout all day long when at work. Also, I workout pretty regularly, and enjoy going on long walks when there is a view to be enjoyed, usually walking on the beach. I can only dream of how incredible it must be going for walks on deck and taking in the sprawling ocean views."
"I am a regular jogger, and I love spending time at the gym. I also eat very healthy, and meditate as well. I am very focused on balancing mind, body, and spirit."
Royal Caribbean requires a clean bill of health for at least two years before bringing someone onboard. This is likely to ensure that each employee is physically capable of performing the duties of their job, as well as having a decreased likelihood of presenting any medical emergencies that extend beyond the capabilities of their medical staff. Additionally, they acknowledge the impact staying active has on one's mental health, which can be impacted by living for months at sea. So go in prepared for this question, and confront the realities in your answer.
"Very important. I will participate in any activity available onboard. I love swimming laps in the pool and if I am not there you can find me in the crew gym."
