Just applied for the apprenticeship program I have my twic passport and medical card hopefully I get accepted man I want this so bad! Wish me luck everyone my test is on the 23rd of next month
I’m shipping out to Piney Point in 2 weeks & I really appreciate this video!! I was so nervous, it’s nice to get an idea of what’s going to happen.
Hey girl ! I’ll be there in September can we exchange emails
congrats! im also curious as well
Hope it went amazing!
@@nohesitation2739 it was about 2/3 months until the survival training which was a week long, the testing was during that week as well.
Hope you had fun!
Man, I’m reminiscing watching your videos dude! Going to binge watch all of them to see what you’re currently up to. I worked on POA back in 2017. I was a restaurant steward. Unfortunately ship life wasn’t for me. I only lasted 6 weeks and then quit. Worked on the ship from April 9th-May 21st.
Original goal was to work at least a year (2 contracts) on the ship to be able to pay off debt I had back then. Piney Point was my main favorite experience aside from working on the ship. Made some good friends that week I’m still friends with to this day. My class was #139. What was your class number?
It’s a very hard lifestyle I definitely understand that! I hope you enjoy the videos if you want to see anything let me know.
I really should know my class number but I forgot it 😂, you make really strong connections at Piney Point
To all of those viewing: I walked into Piney Point; Class 350 in 1981. No trepidations as I was 17 and too young to formulate any. Please. Have no concerns for training. The process in my time was what you may have thought it would be in that time. But it is no longer such. I’m a CE now and my only request is to come aboard your vessel with the intent to listen and remain diligent in your responsibilities. In the past to do otherwise was a personal shame. And trust. I sure was no angle in the beginning. Good luck and stay SAFE.
Wow amazing information! Thank you
Heyyy!!! You got a bag for some of your luggage at least.
Good luck.
Lol thanks
Trent, quick question... when you were flown over to Piney point, did they tell you to just pack for the week of training or for the full trip to Hawaii? I'm noticing a trend with NCL that they tell you to just pack for training but then a lot of people are flown immediately to Hawaii after training. What has been you experiences, or what do you suggest?
They told me I would be going home so only to pack for a week, then they flew me to Hawaii. Pack like you would be going to the ship.
Do you have the option to go home first after the training?
@@CruiseAlongWithTrentHow long were you back home after piney point until you went to hawaii?
I went right to the ship
No they will decide for you, but you do get a bonus for going right on the ship
Hey good video! Thanks for sharing I'm thinking about this really hard to do this but I can't swim at all (yes it's sad Lol) but do they have a lot of ppl who can't swim or do you have to know a little bit I don't wanna be only the lonely struggling in the water Lol! Appreciate u for sharing!!
A few people in my group could not swim and they were able to pass.
They can give you everything you need to pass if you’re willing to try. It’s an amazing experience.
@@CruiseAlongWithTrent hi! Thanks for the info I'm going to think about it!!
Lol. Thanks for video
Of course!
Is it true that you have to cut your hair if you have dreads?
They are starting to get a bit more relaxed, but yes. You can see the hair cutting policy online with some pictures.
I already have my stcw training and it’s stamped on my MMC there should be no need for me to go through piney point again. I sailed commercially before.
From what I have seen they have made people in the past do it again. But talk to your on border
@@CruiseAlongWithTrent thanks and so you get paid Maryland minimum wage for 8/hrs a day for that week?
Yes you do
Any points you can give me on the physical training il go through at piney point and any tips on passing the exams
I did no training, I am past physical easy. It’s not hard at all.
Yo how do I get into the school what’s requirements
NCL will send you here if you work on the Pride of America.
I'll be there on the 30th of July 2023
So am I!
See you guys tomorrow
Happy first day
6:12 So amazing I wanted to cry 😆🥲

hey, what department do you work in?
I worked in The shore excursion department
This is a kick in the nuts to watch. Got nothing out of it.
I’m sorry you did not enjoy it
Do they drug test you again was you arrive at piney point or is it just the one that you do for your union hall before leaving for school?
Just the once, but they do random on ship.
@@CruiseAlongWithTrent so there's no d test at piney? I'm good with randoms on deck but I leave in a few days and I'm really nervous about the whole thing
No test at Piney
@@CruiseAlongWithTrent that's good. I couldn't find a clear answer. I'm good but I'm still overthinking. I go Saturday!! **happy dance** and it's taken me close to a yr to get to piney. I had to take a 2nd test after 6 mo. I had a dilute test bc i drank too much water so i had to retake a (3rd) time. But the tests from walmart are lab accurate. I did a lot of research. Hope it helps future seafarers.
I completely understand, I overthink way to often.
