TESTIMONIALS
FROM OUR INTERNS
“My internship at Royal Caribbean Group has completely exceeded my expectations. Before this summer, I had never learned business communication skills or even constructively received feedback at a corporate level. With this internship, not only was I able to expand my network, but I was also allowed to sit in the room and have conversations with company leaders. I will never forget this summer experience and the memories and knowledge gained.”
“The company culture here at RCG is hard to come by. I have worked and connected with the wonderful employees here, not only on my team but with different departments. I have noticed that every employee comes in excited to work and see their fellow coworkers, which is a dream come true for me. Everyone deserves to work in a comfortable workspace that encourages collaboration and hard work, and Royal Caribbean Group does a great job at delivering on that.”
