New Doctor On Board

Hello to you all!

I'm a portuguese medical doctor and i'm about to change my routine!

I'm a Family and Emergency Physician.

Right now i'm just finishing the credetialing with Royal Caribbean and i hope to come on board on middle may.

My first contract is for 6 months in the SkySea Golden Era.

Hope to learn a lot from this forum! And to meet some of you...out of the medical center! :)

See you soon,

Nuno

Welcome to Cruise Critic Nuno!

If you get on board with Royal Caribbean, we may run into each other.:)

Welcome aboard.

Hope you have an uneventful cruise

Welcome to Cruise Critic and welcome to the pleasant world of cruising!

I have had the experience of visiting the medical center aboard a few of the ships on which I have sailed. I have nothing but compliments for the aid that I received on all of them. The involved doctors and the nursing staff provided me with excellent care.

Please provide that same level of care and concern as you direct your staff. Your patients/guests will remember such treatment in a positive manner.

Welcome, DoctorOnBoard.

Really.:) We've had the pleasure of having dinner with a couple of the docs onboard.

Welcome to Cruise Critic and best of luck in your new assignment.

Welcome to Cruise Critic.

Hope the passengers don't keep you too busy.

The doctor on our last cruise not only had a lot of patients because of lots of coughing people and a brief breakout of Noro virus which kept us in Code Orange but also we had 3 Bright Stars.

I see that SkySea Golden Era is the new name for the former Celebrity Century. She is a lovely ship, and I hope you enjoy your time as the resident doctor. Best of luck!

Welcome to Cruise Critic and thank you for taking care of all the vacationing people out there.

We had the great honor of dining with the Dr on our last cruise.

I know you won't break confidences, but it would be neat to hear about life as a doc on ship once you get settled.

Welcome! :)

I hope your new adventure is absolutely fascinating and enjoyable.

Twice, I have enjoyed the pleasure of dining with the ship's Chief Medical Officer and his wife. The most memorable experience was a cruise when I needed, several times, the services of the doctor. (It was a long cruise and I was injured during a shore excursion about 70% through the cruise. My care was excellent.) Interesting people with whom to share my table! One of the best parts of the experience was that they both provided the wine for the evening's dinner!

Not certain for experienced cruisers what my experience has been, but one Nurse was on three of my same cruises: 2008 Amsterdam, 2012 Volendam, and 2015/2016 Prinsendam. Surely glad to see her on each cruise! Her care and concern are among the best memories of those cruises.

New Doctor on Board: the care you give to your patients can be a memorable part of their journey.

Welcome!

I'm also a former nurse so I think I get the best of the 2 worlds. I can treat without forgetting that I need to care to. Usually cruise ship nurses are very experienced in intensive care or emergency. I think the important thing to keep in mind is that the patient needs both MD and RN. And that they're a team, a small one, so it must be a good one.
