Carnival Cruise Line was rocked by unexpected news as beloved Fleet Cruise Director, Chris Williams, announced his departure from the company. Affectionately known as "The Flying Scotsman," Williams' sudden decision to leave on August 10, 2024, has left passengers and crew alike stunned.
In a heartfelt video message shared on social media, Williams explained that after 13 fulfilling years with Carnival, it was time to prioritize his family. The decision, he admitted, was incredibly difficult. "I turn 40 this year and I realized how much I want to be a more integral part of my family," he shared. "I want to see my five-year-old daughter grow up, be there for school days, and create those core family memories."
Williams expressed immense gratitude for his time at Carnival, crediting the company for bringing him and his wife together, their marriage, the birth of their child, and even their home. "I owe this company everything," he stated emphatically.
A prominent figure within the Carnival community, Williams began his journey with the company as a singer and rose through the ranks to become Fleet Cruise Director nine months ago. His role involved overseeing and mentoring cruise directors across the entire Carnival fleet.
Countless passengers have expressed their sadness and well wishes for Williams on social media, praising his infectious energy and dedication to enhancing the cruise experience.
As Williams embarks on this new chapter, the cruise line and its passengers wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
