Tenderpaw Posted April 18, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I see where DCL will now have Captain Minnie on board the ships along with programming and merchandise to encourage girls into professional maritime careers or STEM related careers. They will also offer several scholarships to a maritime academy in the Bahamas. i think Capt Minnie is great and the scholarships are great too but as a graduate of a maritime academy Texas A&M Galveston) I think it would have been nice to include 1 US maritime academy in the scholarship offering. Not many (if any) young girls that experience the program on the ships will grow up and attend a maritime school in the Bahamas. While not many deck officers on cruise ships are Americans, there are a few out there. Just a thought. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightrythm Posted April 19, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I'm excited by it. I think the scholarship is a great opportunity for young women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJSailors Posted April 26, 2019 #3 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Just a thought...are Disney ships registered in the Bahamas ? Perhaps the scholarships are awarded to the maritime academy in the Bahamas as recognition of this registry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is she on all 4 ships for meet and greet now? Edited August 26, 2019 by NinjaTiffie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
