Royal Caribbean is hiring 10,000 workers in 2024 to keep up with high cruise demands

Royal Caribbean is hiring 10,000 workers in 2024 to keep up with surging demand in cruise travel, according to a report from Reuters.

Tourists taking cruises hit a record in 2023, and there is no signs that tourism is slowing.

Therefore, Royal Caribbean is trying to bolster its labor force this year as it brings on three new ships.

The cruise liner is asking several partner universities in the Caribbean to shore up short-term courses and certifications so more people can be qualified to work at sea.

Royal Caribbean is also in talks with port authorities in St. Maarten, the British Virgin Islands and the Gambia Tourism Board to drum up support for additional staff.

Royal Caribbean’s hiring spree comes as the cruise liner has hit some snafus with some of its itineraries and ships so far this year.

Royal Caribbean canceled a cruise to Alaska after passengers had already boarded due to a malfunction with the ship.

The cruise liner also stopped ships from docking at a private island port in Haiti due to ongoing violence in the region.

This decision by Royal Caribbean to change the itinerary on that cruise came after the U.S. issued a warning to tourists to avoid traveling to Haiti at this time due to an increase in gang-related violence.

Ukraine-Russia war: Latest updates

Ask our military analysts or international correspondents a question on the Ukraine war in the box below.

Thursday 9 May 2024 09:18, UK

• Putin: We want to avoid global confrontation, but nuclear forces ready if needed  
• Home Office expels Russian diplomat who was 'undeclared military intelligence officer'
• Dominic Waghorn: Russia may have crossed the line - but UK move to expel attache increases risk of dangerous escalation
• Ed Conway : Russian oil still seeping into UK - the reasons why sanctions are not working

Ask a question or make a comment

Vladimir Putin used his Victory Day speech this morning to warn that Russia's combat forces were "always ready".

But he admitted the country was going through a "difficult period".

You can watch a segment from his speech here:

We aren't bringing you live updates today, but here is the main story this morning.

Vladimir Putin has just finished speaking at Russia's annual Second World War victory parade.

The president, now in his fifth term, said that Russia will do all it could to avoid a global confrontation, amid rising rhetoric about a face-off with NATO.

Mr Putin, however, said it would not allow any nation or alliance to threaten Russia.

As he's said multiple times since he invaded Ukraine, the Russian leader warned the West that his nuclear forces were always at a state of combat readiness. 

He was addressing scores of troops in Moscow's Red Square - here are the best images from the Russian capital... 

Thanks for following our live coverage, we'll be back soon with more live updates. 

Kosovo's foreign minister has said her country is convinced Russia must lose the war in Ukraine for conflict not to spread further in Europe.

Donika Gervalla-Schwarz said her young nation's support for Ukraine was unconditional - despite Kyiv not having recognised Kosovo's independence.

Ms Gervalla-Schwarzd her small Balkan nation, which declared its independence from Serbia in 2008, is repeatedly reminded of the aggressive intentions of both Serbia and its ally Russia.

"Ukraine hasn't recognised the Republic of Kosovo as a state, but we really believe that we know exactly what Ukraine is going through," she told The Associated Press in an interview.

"And we know that there is only one solution, not only for Ukraine, but for Europe," she said.

"It can only be Russia to lose the war and Ukraine to win this war. Otherwise, Europe should prepare for other conflicts in our continent."

The people of Kosovo were the targets of war crimes and other atrocities by Serbia's security forces in the 1990s, an experience that led Kosovo to seek independence.

"While Kosovo is a small state with very modest possibilities to help, we have tried to be very helpful with Ukraine and have not hesitated to show our unconditional support and sympathy to the people and to the state of Ukraine," Ms Gervalla-Schwarz said.

Lord Cameron has called the UK's measures on a Russian defence attache "an unequivocal message" to Moscow. 

The foreign secretary was replying to James Cleverly's post on X in which he said the Home Office expelled a Russian defence attache as part of a series of measures against the country.

Other measures in the package include removing the diplomatic premises status from several Russian owned properties in the UK and capping the amount of time Russian diplomats can spend in the UK.

Budapest is once again raising eyebrows across the world's biggest military alliance as it pledges to defy a NATO initiative. 

The alliance's long-term plan to support Ukraine militarily was agreed in April, but was dubbed a "crazy mission" by Hungary's foreign minister today. 

Under the plans, NATO would take over some coordination work from a US-led coalition known as the Ramstein group.

Discussing the plans today, Peter Szijjarto said: "Hungary will stay out of NATO's crazy mission despite all the pressure."

Relations between Budapest and NATO have soured because of Hungary's foot-dragging over the ratification of Sweden's NATO accession - finally passed by Budapest in March - and also over nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban's close ties with Moscow. 

The Russian embassy in London has said there will be "an appropriate response" after Britain expelled a Russian defence attache.

The embassy said the restrictions that had been imposed were done under a "groundless and ridiculous pretext", according to Russian state news agency TASS.

It comes after Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova was reported as telling journalists that the Kremlin will respond appropriately following the expulsion.

Dominic Waghorn, international affairs editor

It's always assumed defence attaches play some kind of role gatherling intelligence and that is generally tolerated by their host countries. 

They could be gathering data about weapons production for instance or ship building but there is a line they are expected not to cross. 

The assumption here is that the Russians have broken the rules of the game.

But the British government will have thought long and hard before expelling the Russian. It doesn't come without cost.

In their day jobs defence attaches play a crucial role in liaising with their hosts.  That can be very important in terms of avoiding misunderstandings that could lead to unnecessary and dangerous escalation. 

Losing Russia’s defence attache in London deprives the UK of one more line of liaison at a time when clear understanding and clarification could be essential to avoiding deepening conflict.

That is not ideal at a time of war. 

What is not clear is how much these moves are connected specifically to the conduct of the Russians involved or should they actually be seen more as another chapter in the diplomatic war underway between Russia and the UK.

The UK has undoubtedly weakened Russia's ability to spy in the UK and gather intelligence but these measures will also affect Britain's ability to predict and avoid potential escalation. 

That will be made even worse if Russia, as may be expected, responds with like-for-like retaliation

Seven people have been injured by Russian shelling in eastern Kharkiv, according to the region's governor.

Oleg Synegubov said among those wounded was an eight-year-old girl and three boys, two aged 14 and the other 15. 

"Two [of the] boys are in serious condition, [the other] boy and [the] girl are in average condition," he said. 

One 55-year-old civilian of unspecified gender was also hospitalised. 

Two women had minor injuries. 

Defence Secretary Grant Shapps has offered his thoughts on the expulsion of a Russian defence attache the government has accused of being an undeclared military intelligence officer. 

"Today we've expelled Russia's defence attache who has been working as an intelligence officer for Putin in the UK," he said on X. 

"We will not tolerate Putin’s efforts to undermine our nation and democracy and will continue to stand up for freedom here and in Ukraine."

RUSSIAN PODOLSK PMZ FACTORY

CHILD'S SEWING MACHINE TOY

"SINGER 20"

Singer Buys Back Its Former Factory

By Julie Tolkacheva

Jan. 24 1995

PODOLSK, Moscow Region.

Singer, the most famous name in sewing machines, is returning to Russia after an absence of eight decades as part of a move to rescue the country's sewing-machine monopoly.

Kontsern Podolsk, the only producer of the machines in the Commonwealth of Independent States, has announced that 

Canada's Semi-Tech Corp., owner of Singer, bought a 70 percent equity stake in the Russian company.

Grigory Komarenko, the factory's president, said in an interview that the move will provide the company with at least $10 million in new investment, help to upgrade the quality of the machines, diversify production into other appliance lines, increase employment and open foreign markets to Russian sewing-machine exports for the first time since the Bolshevik Revolution.

"If we had not done this, sewing-machine production in Russia would die in 1995", he said. "Foreign companies would have razed us to the ground."

He said sales of home sewing machines have dropped from 1.6 million in 1992 to 190,000 last year, when Kontsern Podolsk produced 335.000 units, many of which are gathering dust in the company's warehouses. Much of the loss was caused by a shift to pensive but higher-quality foreign machines, Komarenko said.

Production of industrial machines also fell by more than 60 percent. The company released 4,500 of its 12,500 workers and the factory was idled for two months, Komarenko said.

The investment by Semi-Tech, which also owns Pfaff and Sansui, will bring back to Kontsern Podolsk its historical name of Singer -- the founder of the company who set it up in Podolsk, 60 kilometers south of Moscow, in 1900.

The Russian operation, with 40,000 employees and 3,600 shops selling Singer machines, became one of the biggest in the worldwide Singer empire, established by Isaak Singer in New York in the middle of the 19th century.

Pre-revolution Singers can still be found in Russian homes, and many say they work better than models produced after the 1917 Revolution, when the company fell on hard times due to poor management and a ban on exports.

The company lost the name Singer after the revolution: It was renamed Zavod imeni Kalinina to commemorate a two-hour visit to the factory by Politburo member Mikhail Kalinin.

The company became Kontsern Podolsk in 1990 and went private in 1991, with 100 percent of stock going to the working collective. Last August, 99.6 percent of the shareholders voted to sell a controlling interest to Semi-Tech, Komarenko said, adding that the deal was completed late last year.

He said the company made a new emission of shares, increasing its charter capital to 28 billion rubles (about $7 million) from 10 billion rubles. Semi-Tech bought 70 percent of the stake for $10 million, the minimum amount of foreign investment required by Russian law to obtain a five-year profit tax exemption.

"Our directors should shed their arrogance and sell controlling shares in their companies to foreign investors," said Komarenko, now a Singer vice president. "Only when foreigners are here on all four paws will we get economic growth, better quality and new jobs."

Under the deal with Semi-Tech, Singer would export 30 percent of its 1995 production of home sewing machines, including 150.000 new generation Singer machines that the company would assemble from imported spare parts, Komarenko said.

Under an order from Pfaff, the factory would have to almost double production of industrial machines to 24.000 from 12.600, according to Komarenko. He said the company would have to hire 2.000 more workers to fulfill the order.
