pursers

Cruise financial officers

Pursers is the plural of purser, an officer on a ship or aircraft responsible for financial accounts, passenger welfare, and administrative duties.

On cruise ships, the purser's office handles money exchange, valuables storage, and passenger concerns: The pursers helped sort out the cabin mix-up.

On airlines, the role has largely merged into that of the lead flight attendant.
