Merchant ship officers are generally speaking one of two types: the Deck Officers (or Mates), in charge mainly of navigation, cargo handling, safety and deck maintenance, and the Engineers, in charge of running and maintaining all machinery items (e.g. engines, pumps, winches, etc.)

On military ships of the US, that officer would have the duty of over seeing what is called the MWR (Morale, Welfare & Recreation) It would be a collateral duty and not his only function on the ship. On a cruise ship it would probably a "Cruise director" and in the merchant mariner world there is none that I know of.
