Tea With Lee

Today I took 20 minutes to sit down with Tony Williams, one of our fantastic fun squad hosts here on board a Carnival Panorama. Tony has been working at sea for 11 years and has been a part of the fun squad for the last five years. He was a part of the inaugural team here aboard the Carnival Panorama for her launch in 2019 and we've been delighted to have him back as a part of the return to service team. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/teawithlee/message

Special Guest - Jaime Dee, Former Carnival Cruise Director and now Mom, Wife and all-round amazing person are just a few of her new titles. Jaime continues to reign as the Queen of Carnival for many, despite her recent departure from the company. She touched the lives of many and most definitely left behind a legacy. A good handful of the current Cruise Director stock grew up under her guidance and her contributions to the Entertainment Department are still seen today - especially in events such as The Military Appreciation Gathering, dancing on the bar in the atrium and more.
