Known as the "Chief Dog Officer" or "Chief Smile Officer", Sailor travels aboard the Star of the Seas cruise ship. It is said that the idea of having a furry friend sail on Royal Caribbean's Icon Class cruise ships came from executives who realized that both passengers and crew members miss their pets back at home. Sailor and Rover (who sails on Icon of the Seas) are Golden Retrievers who "spread joy, greet guests and act as a comforting family dog for passengers and crew members".

Social Media Description
The only two times that we saw Sailor, the "Chief Dog Officer" on Star of the Seas, were during events with the staff. Rumor has it that she can sometimes be spotted on the walking track, but our paths never crossed there!
Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. - Ray Bradbury
