Cruises: Female cruise captain reveals well-kept secret about what REALLY happens onboard

Thankfully it is still safe without her driving the cruise liner.

“One of the questions I get asked frequently when walking around the ship is “if you’re here, then who is driving?”, assuming that I live on the bridge,” she said.

“I don’t spend 24/7 on the bridge.

“I will go up for arrivals, departures and any time the team needs me but there are a minimum of three qualified and licensed officers manning the bridge at all times so I can be around the ship.”

Thankfully, the rest of the crew are able to drive the liner so she can deal with other issues and tasks around the ship.
