Creator's Key Takeaways

Normally, in an established company, a captain will join the new build process 3 to 4 months before delivery.

I didn't do a dry dock with Celebrity Beyond. And when I joined, she was pretty much complete already.

The only input that I had in the changes that I could make were putting a light above the sink in my galley.

But what's interesting is you have more input on the ship that follows.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Join the new build process early to have more input on changes.
βœ“Provide feedback on ship features after taking delivery to influence future builds.
