"Since working with Elena, I’ve learned how to perform silver service and feel confident in front of guests. I’ve also learned how to housekeep and deep clean cabins, as well as how to handle laundry and stain treatment. Additionally, I’ve taken on more responsibility. I very much enjoy working on this team."

"My journey on Y&V started in December 2022 as a laundry stewardess. I joined mid-season in St. Barts, becoming part of a team of five led by Chief Elena Oprea. Initially focused on laundry, Elena taught me additional skills. Working with Elena was invaluable. Y&V taught passion and focus."

"I have learned a lot since joining We Were Dreams and am confident in many areas of the interior. Elena is a great leader and spends a lot of time training us. She has such high standards, and I can’t wait to learn more!"
