Nicola is delightful. Very knowledgable and informative. Seminar was well worth the fee- Vancouver workshop attendee April 2013 

I really enjoyed the workshop- It was very informative and it answered all the questions I had.- Toronto workshop attendee March 2013 

So I was lucky to be able to go through this whole entire experience of getting to know the industry, life on board, and the journey of it all. Nicola over exceeded my expectation's and so as of the others who attended the workshop. By being able to hear from her own experience life on board ships, its makes you just want to start tomorrow but you know must have to go through the interview first lol. 

 

The workshop was a success! It still brings a big grin to my face Be right back.

Castaway,

Thank you so much for hosting the cruise ship familiarization workshop in Vancouver, BC. It was a day before I had my interview and attending the workshop calmed my nerves, and prepared me for my interview with Steiner the following day. Being at the workshop was absolutely worth it, Nicola was a great instructor. The day went by quick because she made it fun and I learned all about what life on a cruise was like! Not to mention all the wonderful people I met as well! Thanks Castaway!!

Hello workshop team!

I really enjoyed the workshop! It answered all the questions I had regarding the interview process, the hiring process, life on and off board, and overall what to expect. It was really easy going and Nicola made it easy and very enjoyable with games and videos teaching us about the industry and all of the cruise lines.

Thanks again!!

Good afternoon Tracy:

Just want to send you a hi-five for the Cast-Away-Workshop at Humber College.  On a professional level the workshop gave me all the tools I need to morph myself into a great fit for the cruiseship industry. Nicola and Duane are very polished, and shine as facilitators,(real attention getters).

    On a more personal level , what an awesome way to spend a chillin Sunday afternoon. Looking forward to an interview with Cast-Away.

I traveled from Denver, Colorado to Montreal, Canada to attend Cast-a-Way Cruise Industry Familiarization and Interview Skills and Preparing for A Life of Excellence workshops hoping to get an idea if the cruise industry is right for me.  Before I attended the workshop I did extended research that goes back a year ago that relates to the work environment and the process of getting a job on a ship but nothing can prepared for the information I received from Cast-A-Way.  By attending this workshop you get the one on one attention with the great staff of Cast-A-Way that have work in the industry for a long time that they are willing to share the knowledge you need prepared  to be successful among a ship. I recommend these workshops for anyone considering working on a cruise ship for you can prepared yourself mentally, physically, emotionally and so forth for the successful life in the  cruise industry.

Thank you!!
