Purser/ Ship Manager

Pursers handle all the financial matters on a cruise ship as well as many administrative tasks. Pursers also share information about the ship to both passengers and crew members. The Purser's Desk is typically centrally located in the ship for easy accessibility to passengers and crew. If the purser can't answer a question, he'll be able to refer the person to someone who can.

The Chief purser is one of the Senior Management Team aboard ship. He oversees the work of ALL crew, including updating all passenger and ship accounts at the end of each cruise. He or She is responsible for or all onboard hospitality, entertainment and excursions, and acts as the public face of the company.

The Chief Purser allots tips indicated by customers to the proper department and crew members. Payments for concessionaires, such as stores and kiosks aboard ship, excursions, formalities, are similarly tallied based on the revenues each generated during the cruise and the terms of their contracts.

The Chief Purser makes spreadsheets for each department head and copies for the Operations Manager and the Saigon Office. When money is placed in account to the ship, the chief purser counts it and makes a report to the Saigon Office of monies received.

The ship purser also works with port officials to obtain the ship's clearance at every port.
