Ship Smell

There's smells that make me think of the ship, England,...Steiner...

Rainy days while riding in a cool bus; making a musty wet smell in the air.

Elemis products all day...the smell of seaweed, lavender...Skin Nourishing Milk Bath.  :)

There's smells from Ports I visited...busy streets with tired people mixed with fresh Caribbean chicken or tacos...Ahhh.  Coconuts and Corona.

Ship engines running, hallways just mopped.

Hungover co-workers and my boyfriends cologne...

GET HIRED!

I got my email about 2 weeks later and it said I passed the interview.  I was in my kitchen and almost my entire family was home.  I had just finished a very long day at my job at a Flower warehouse.  I could see everything changing!

The didn't waste any time either.  In the email they asked when I would be available to come to the London Training Academy and confirmed they would be sending me the infamous "Steiner Training Pack".  That was the next step.

I gave my soonest date and waited for the Training Pack.  It took 7-10 day to arrive from England and inside there was so much information!  All the fees were broken down for me, contract lengths, and commissions.  There were maps and advice on how to get to the Watford YMCA from the airport and tips on what to pack.

Also enclosed was a CD with Elemis products.  I'm sure the just transfer everything via email now.  I began studying my product and memorizing the ingredients...

I couldn't wait to start!

Me!

Hi!

I worked for Steiner Trans Ocean for two contracts on a total of four different cruise ships.  For those of you unfamiliar to Steiner...Huge company!  They own the spas on most cruiseliners, have land based spa all over the globe, and also own Elemis, Ionithermie, Bliss, and more.  They are extremely successful and professional.  I love that I had the chance to be incolced with their operation.  I learned a lot.  Although I chose to leave the company; I still like to share my knowledge.  I grew a lot as a person while traveling and working my ass off.  I met amazing life long friends and my wonderful lover.  Beginning to chase the dream of working at sea is intimidating, exhilarating, and full of unanswered questions!  I'd love to be able to answer some of those questions and make the majority of your experience positive and exciting.  You will take control of your dreams.  Just roll with the waves!
