Dominique Dom Gamba Departs Royal Caribbean After Years of Service

Dominique 'Dom' Gamba, the Senior Director of Food and Beverage Operations at Royal Caribbean, announced his departure from the company on September 3 and 4, 2026, via social media. Gamba expressed gratitude for his time with Royal Caribbean, stating, 'This is not an ending. Just a pause in the journey.' He began his career with Celebrity Cruises in June 2006 and returned to Royal Caribbean in September 2013, eventually rising to oversee culinary and bar teams across 30 ships. His departure comes as a surprise, given his recent promotion to senior director in July 2026.
