    My husband and I worked a cruise after he retired in his 50's. When we cruise for pleasure now, it's fun to talk to crew members and see their "customer service" face change to "colleague" face when we tell them we worked on a ship. All of a sudden, we are on the other side of the fence. They also know we understand how hard and long they each work all day every day. This vid was full of useful (and true!) info. Thanks.

      That's so cool!!!! You totally get it then. My boyfriend and I will be going back to the cruise we first met on as crew members in february and are so excited to see it from the guest point of view! It will be strange to not be working though!

    I love all your videos. Traveling is something I’m passionate about but honestly don’t get to do enough of. I have been out of the country in years and I’ve never taken a cruise. That is one of the few things that I have on my period soon to be list. I will try to do some research on whether not I want to take a cruise or take it on a all-inclusive resort somewhere in the Caribbean. So your stories and tips are very useful thank you so much.

    Hi, huge fan here and I’ve cruised on the Splendor before! What a dream. I think working on a cruise ship is slowly inching its way on my bucket list. Do you think you could do a video on salary/benefits? Seasickness? Do you have to deal with someone else’s seasickness? Also, if you were to return, do you have to go through the trainings again? Thank for great content and info!

    Hi this is a really cool informative video and from the comments I see that you worked on Carnival. A friend of mine worked there and I might end up working there as a photographer. I wanted to ask you which is surprising to me that you mention all those things to do when in port, but my friend told me that there isnt that much time to spend in a port, depending on your manager, so I wonder does this depend on work you do on the ship or the cruiser itself or... and you mention allergies etc, while I have none, but how does clear tan help, if I understood what o you said correctly isnt that just basically self tanning cream? I use only natural products that are also edible for my skin, I hope I can bring those on board lol.
    Also partying on the ship? According to my friend, you will only want to take time to sleep and rest, hardly go to parties, but I do hope some partying will be possible (physically and mentally lol). She was a photographer.
    And one more thing, so you think a vegan would be able to survive working on the ship? I was also thinking vitamins and protein supplements, can those, the quality ones, be bought in ports?
    ps. I really dont like the idea of sb else cleaning my room (cabin?) and washing my clothes? Hell no! lol. Meh, I hope I can get around that. Or get used to it lol.

      You can party every night if you want. Depending what the night life is like on your ship. And if you're going on as a vegan, lord help you. Crew messes don't know what veganism is.

    are you out to sea for 6 months at a time?? how do the contracts work?

    • @TouristtoLocal
      @TouristtoLocal  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      they are 6 months at a time! no days off, and about 75 hours a week! then after 6 months you get a few months off and begin another contract

    • @AlyxMitchellStudios
      @AlyxMitchellStudios 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You have passenger status on princess ... (Except main dinning room) great itinerary and a thing to remember the older ships tend to have larger crew cabins

    How come you barely get to go outside? Ive been watching multiple videos and most say that they dont get enough fresh air...

    • @TouristtoLocal
      @TouristtoLocal  6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Lots of times we only get a few hours to get off in port since we are supposed to be working. Also some weeks you can’t get off at all, depending on your schedule! There are guests still on the ship when you’re in port (not everyone gets off), so crew rotates who will stay on!
