Royal Caribbean strengthens its commitment to Bahamian employment with new appointments at the Royal Beach Club Paradise Island
The cruise line announces four new local additions to its leadership team, solidifying its investment in the Bahamas community
Royal Caribbean has appointed four new Bahamian managers to its leadership team, reinforcing the brand's commitment to local employment and community development ahead of the opening of Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in December 2025. These seasoned professionals will play key roles in shaping the brand's first beach club experience, reflecting Royal Caribbean's dedication to empowering Bahamian talent and fostering sustainable growth.
New team members include:
Benjamin Gay, Warehouse Manager: With 15 years of experience in supply chain management, logistics, inventory, and sanitation, Gay will bring a results-oriented approach and willingness to learn, supporting efficient operations at Royal Beach Club Paradise Island.
Deborah Campbell, Inventory Control Specialist: With over a decade of experience in warehouse management, Campbell has led teams, optimized resources, and maintained high standards, focusing on delivering exceptional customer service and fostering teamwork.
Christopher Treco, Training Manager: With over 10 years of experience in sales, operations, and human resources across industries such as shipping, retail, and hospitality, Treco will focus on employee development and engagement.
Ricardo Mitchell, Human Resources Manager: With a master's degree in organizational learning and leadership, and currently pursuing a doctorate in business with a focus on human resource management, Mitchell emphasizes building strong relationships and empowering colleagues to excel.
During construction, two Bahamian contractors were hired along with numerous local subcontractors, with more than 500 people working on the project daily. Upon opening, the Royal Beach Club Paradise Island will employ approximately 700 direct team members and contractors. The company's dedication to the Bahamas is demonstrated through a public-private partnership with the Bahamian government and people, who will own 49% of the project, highlighting the commitment to local ownership.
Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, the first in the Royal Beach Club Collection, continues to take shape in the coming months ahead of its December 2025 opening. At the heart of the experience will be the island nation of The Bahamas, from the idyllic location to the Bahamian food, culture, and staff, and a unique public-private partnership with The Bahamas. The new beach club combines the beauty and spirit of The Bahamas with Royal Caribbean's signature touches throughout the experience, service, and design.
