- Where does the crew eat? What are the crew areas like on a cruise ship?
The camera work is fairly shaky but it gives you a rough idea of what it's like living on board a cruise ship. I slowed it down in parts and now have voice overs explaining what each area is. (Crew Bar, Crew Laundry, Crew Gym, Crew Mess, etc...)
How to be the best piano player on a ship. By being the ONLY piano player on a ship. That's the only way I would qualify!
Life is GRAND, BABY! get it? Grand- Baby / BABY GRAND?!?! ahhhhhh
I wouldn’t qualify even if I was the only pro. In a few thousand guests there is guaranteed to be multiple people better.
Tell my mamma i play piano In a whore house.. not this afawl place.

I'm sure a grandma in the crowd could out piano me 🤣😂
Every time he pauses the video I thought my video had freezed haha
He was a brain surgeon..
Damn your editing! I kept think my video was freezing up on me lol
haha- I know; the other videos are of better quality
I left my job to work on a cruise ship and never looked back , beats sitting in a office crunching numbers all day and listening to boring office gossips , cruise work allowed me to vissit over 60 countries in two years whenever I hook up with ex colleagues when I come it’s the same complaints they have education and diplomas but still not happy cruise life made me see things from a positive perspective and also the friendship from all over the world that I gained
We'll said & good luck to you.
After 20 plus years in the USN, this looks like luxury.
Nobody cares seamen
Thank you for your service!
As a musician for Royal Caribbean, I always find it interesting to see what the other cruise lines are like. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure
LOL I was on Carnival Paradise for 6 months as a photographer. The memory of the big papa Italian captain still makes me smile. Springbreak was one of the worst times on board as people just came to get wasted, getting naked and trying to take pictures... My pros: scenery (on sea days you can see a sky full of stars at night without any light pollution), work benefits (free accommodation and food), ports (beaches, activities, sunshine), career opportunities (relatively easy to move up the ladder if you have a good team), culture (you're on a ship with people from many different countries), friendships (I still keep in touch with some of the guests and colleagues). Cons: strict rules that you must obey, sexism (there were always more men in my department and it turned into a boys club easily), rude/drunk guests, customers stealing my pictures from the photo gallery, limited space and finally, you are likely to become a workaholic as you're required to work every single day until your contract ends (not every department has this rule, for examples entertainers get days off). I also heard rumors that people from the UK and US or maybe even South Africa would get paid more than other nationalities (Asian, Eastern European, South American). I wouldn't be surprised if this is true... What even sadder is that the housekeepers didn't have a salary, their sole income was the tips they got from the customer. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes and people who buy a cheap cruise can't see that. The whole industry is dark: different laws to comply by, a lot of waste is just dumped in the ocean without repercussions, using labor force similar to slavery. Sad.
Carnival is a joke. I’ve worked for both Carnival and Royal and RCCL is the best. Carnival sucked balls-never again.
I liked the shaky camera. And the explanations were simple. Thanks for an interesting look at the other side of cruising, something most passengers don't give a second thought to.
My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it.
So strange that this video was recommended to me by TH-cam. Believe it or not, this was my cabin from 07-09. I was the lighting tech on the crew that took the ship from Hawaii to Europe. You can thank my roommate and I for the better TV!
Nice. It was also a bigger cabin cause it was on a corner next to a watertight door. I signed on there in June or July of 2012. … And Thank You! haha
The smoking lounge is basically a gas chamber on board ha ha lol!
Sick
I remember long ago when on a cruise with a company I worked for they offered behind the scenes tours and was interesting. Gave a nice insight on how the staff worked.
Wow,this brings back memories! Former spa girl (aka Spafia) here,I worked on The Pride of Hawaii and Pride of Aloha,did 2 contracts and had some of the best times of my life! Cheers for the trip down memory lane ❤️❤️
ooo... I remember the Spa girls ;)
WORK ON CRUISE SHIPS Spafia for life!! ❤️❤️❤️
I worked for one year on a container ship in the South Atlantic. I had my own double cabin with two beds, big bathroom with bath and shower, fridge, DVD player and TV. With window overlooking the sea. Very easy job and good working hours. It wasn't a dungeon that you get on a lot of passenger ships.
Great introductory video for people who have never worked on board and are planning to start their career in the cruise industry. It is really nice how you pause and explain to viewers what are they looking at. We hope all crew is safe during the pandemic :)
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video. You're the only person who liked the pauses; most thought their computer or connection was messing up lol. Im glad to know someone else out there understood what I was trying to do haha.
@@workoncruiseship well I understood and don't have plan to work at there but enjoyed it :)
Most of the crew are from the so called Third World & depend on it for their families. They are always unfailing nice to guests but what goes on in their mess hall.. hmmm🤔
Thanks for the look, much appreciated. Keep safe you guys and gals.
As a passenger, I find that when you have finally figured out the ship floor plan, it is time to go home!
A microcosm of life !
that's why I always spend the first day exploring the ship lol, learn where everything is at on day 1 and you can get where you want the rest of the vacation
LOL that’s NOT why it’s called I-95. It’s called that cause it runs the length of the ship... like the I-95 runs the length of the eastern corridor of the USA.
That is what I thought, interstate 95 (from New Brunswick Canada all the way to Key West)
Right you are sir. We also call it the M1.
That's what I assumed
@@paulcolburn3855 I-95 is NOT in Canada.. It starts on the US side
@@michaelvoight7738 Oh I agree. What I meant to say is it starts in Maine at the New Brunswick border and goes all the way to Miami. I just did a lousy job communicating that.
Thanks for ship tour. Have fun and success.
Great tour of hallways and stairwells.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it!
Vladimir warmed my heart ❤️
Wow, thank you for the glimpse into the crew's areas. I can't imagine playing pool while on the sea!
Yeah, it's pretty challenging haha.
@@workoncruiseship So does the buffet or whatever for say like the crewmembers from the Phillipines have ethnic dishes that are geared for their tastes? And would there be any way that a passenger could score some after getting a probably hand written menu of what is there? It would probably be better to talk with a crewmember or staff before going on a cruise I'd imagine a get a rundown of what the dishes are then make your list about what sounds good if they can get it for you.
@** Well having been on several cruises I can tell you that the buffet will be recycled several days with a bit more fresh dishes to help mask the "old food" on the buffet. They also re purpose leftovers from the main dining room. What I meant was the crew's buffet is probably good because it's not geared toward US/Europeans so it is cooked with the more traditional recipes and possibly by a chef from the region the majority if crew are from.
Nice little documentary! I like the way you jump right in!
I just found your channel. As weird as it seems, in my younger days I so much wanted to be part of the crew on a cruise ship. I took 3 cruises with my wife (2 Disney and one on Carnival) back in the day. I fell in love with ocean travel. Even back in 1967, I was one of 800 Marines on a converted passenger liner bound for Southeast Asia. I was a Sargeant, and non-commissioned officers never got any work details, so I used to wander all through the ship, even going places that were off limits. At night I would sit up on deck and get lost in a sky filled more stars than I have ever seen. My profile photo is of me taken not long after the ship dropped me off on Okinawa. Well, I got caught in the wife/children/job vice, so I never fulfilled my dream. As soon as I retired, my health went to hell in a hand basket. Now I am 72, but through your channel I can live and work on a cruise ship vicariously. With my active imagination, living other people's adventures is easy. I'll be watching all of your videos and look forward to many future vlogs.
Glad I could help you do that. Thank you so much for your service!
Dwight Turner. Thank you for your service! My health also went there in a handbasket but before retirement. I am 68 and also love to see these adventures of the sea ! Live thru dreams!!
That was an awesome comment / testimony, Dwight Turner. I enjoyed reading it , and I vicariously live thru these vids too. God Bless You, and THANKS for Your U.S. service, Sir.
Awesome Dwight but I believe a mans true wealth is his children.
What an insightful video. Reminds me how different some lifestyles are in comparison to mine.
I've always been curious about this. Thanks for the tour.
my pleasure
I was a golf pro on a few ships back in the day. That was like walking through memory lane. Good stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for showing us where you guys live on the ship, that's really cool , it looks like a little city down below the ship ! 😊👍🚢👀
Yes, it's a completely different world down there
Thanks for posting; interesting to see. The environment seems less pleasant than what is available to crews on container ships, as posted in another video.
Thanks for showing this. I wondered how the crew lives, one of those weird people that care about the crew, and it is modest but it is clean. Hard work, long hours, and they have a place they can get away from tourist idiots like me.
I love it when we are docked and all the watertight doors are open...makes all the access in the crew area easier
Especially on laundry day
I-95 is the busiest highway on the east coast of America, it runs from the Canadian border down to Miami. On a cruise ship it is the passageway that runs most of the length of the ship. It is used by all of the crew to get around the ship making it the busiest passageway onboard.
Do you work there?
I used to.
I-95 is a Crewman's Landing Permit from US CBP.
These videos fascinate me; even though I have no yearning to work on a cruise ship.
Keep up the good work 🤾
Thank you for the kind words. Greatly appreciated, Marie.
When you said I-95 I instantly thought of the interstate, but then again I'm on the East Coast!
I-95 is in fact the reference code for the landing permit form to be submitted, together with a valid visa, to Customs in the USA by foreign crewmen on any ship to be allowed to set a foot on US soil. And even with all paperwork in good order, CBP boarding officers might at their discretion refuse anyone the right to go ashore, even if it is to be repatriated back home and thus leave the country... In the eyes of American authorities, every hardworking ship’s crew member is a potential terrorist, felon or illegal immigrant and needs to be treated as such, not withstanding nationality, age, education or family status...
I’m in England but I thought he meant the interstate to lol
Cruise ship crews are awesome. You guys work hard. Thank you👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I-95 does NOT refer to an immigration document form number, it references the Interstate 95 that runs past many of the USA's largest cruise ports in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Cape Canaveral, Palm Beach, and many more along the east coast. The ships largest corridor being labeled I-95 is like calling the hallway "the interstate".
Actually what he says there is also a I95 documentation form.
The I-95 form is known as the Crewman's Landing Permit, and it's a document that shows the date you arrived in the U.S. Not only that, but it also shows how long you're allowed to stay in the U.S., and that is indicated by the date when your authorized stay period ends
Both are probably true, one is slightly more racist than the other though haha
@@trin.mal0ne cope liberal cope
@@spooders8424 huh
That was cool as when your on cruise ship you never get to see where the staff area is . God Bless
Lol I worked on this ship for 6 months in the Mediterranean. Wild to see the crew areas again, hasn't changed a bit!!
How do you know it is that specific ship? There are about a half dozen Jewel class ships in the Norwegian fleet and they look the same. Same design, same colors.
Deck 3... Reminded me so much of my own cabin when i worked onboard.. Best yrs.. 😊
I worked on the SS Noway for 18 months back in the mid 80's, and as wonderful as it was, she looked nothing like the crew areas on the Jade. Loved the video.
Thank you for your service! Glad you enjoyed the video.
They live on the first floor above the engine room! How peaceful and comfortable the noise is for sleepy time. I was on the Disney wonder and we were the floor above the crew. They were the floor above the engine room. Gears switching, people smashing metal boxes it sound like and humming. Wow count me in captain! :)
My last Carnival cruise to date was on the lowest passenger level. I hated all the noise from the grinding gears, etc., and if/when I take another cruise, I want to be on a higher deck.
you always wonder about how it is behind the scenes, thanks for sharing!
My pleasure.
Thank you for showing the crew area. Where you hard working staff live. The washer and dryers being DOWN what a bummer, especially if you have to look great in your Dress serving guests. That should have priority on a cruise ship. At least there is PORT holes in Dining area. Such a maze. The I-90 hallway, that's amazing. Wish they had tours of crew space instead of just behind the seems in Gallery only.
My pleasure. When I left (2015), they had started to allow crew and staff to drop off their work uniforms with the department laundry, so that was helpful. Yes, the port holes were great in the mess and crew bar (I would spend a lot of my time there during the day drinking awful, bleach-flavored coffee haha). On NCL they had started to do crew area tours of i-95 (no cabins) for guests. However, I was against it for two big reasons: 1- Most of the crew works long hrs everyday and it's their one and only area to be on the ship. They don't want to still have to put on a smile during their off time.
2- If you notice in my video, I deliberately avoid the walls in the hallway. They're loaded with a lot of sensitive and security-based information which should not be viewable by the public.
Wow the complex thinking put into designing a ship is astounding
The Norwegian Jade used to be Pride of Hawaii. It was one of my fave ships to be on. I have only been on the American Flag ships. Seeing the crew area made me miss ship life. Thank you for the video.
My pleasure. I do miss it at times as well.
Great Video sir! I have always wondered what goes on inside the crew area.
OMGosh! I worked aboard NCL America ships...all of them: Aloha (former Norwegian Sky, now Sky again) America and Hawaii. You’ve brought back Sooooo many memories!
Been there done that. Three contracts on POA. Probably know you!
Nice to see the crew have reasonable private arrears x
Hallways are clean and i like the yellow outline on the floor showing you how far the door swings out, for safety.
Yep. Constantly cleaning and painting. I think they mopped the floors 6-8 times a day and buffed twice. And even though they have that line, I can't tell you how many times people were hit in the face by doors swinging open haha.
Really enjoyed this. Thank you!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Cool behind the scenes walk-around. It was fascinating to do an at-sea "back of the house" tour of Queen Mary 2 in 2017! Your crew accomodations remind me a bit of life aboard U.S.S. Enterprise, except everything would be painted a cheerful navy gray color.
You live in the basement. You guys work so hard. Thank you!!
If you're wondering why this video blew up so fast after a whole year, we all got it in our recommendations for some reason. I've never watched any cruise ship videos. YT is just weird
I thought it was weird. I guess youtube changed their analytics and this video just happened to land within those parameters. I'm not complaining haha.
@@workoncruiseship I am not exactly well known for handing out compliments. But I have admit that I thoroughly enjoyed this video. So I shall give it a like, and subscribe, as soon as I have posted this video.
Thank you, and please keep them coming.
Thanks, Paul. I really appreciate it. I keep meaning to make the time to create more videos. Just get so busy with work (I haven't worked on ships in a few years). I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
@@workoncruiseship I'll keep my eyes open for future videos from you. And I've never said that to anyone before. Thanks again.
It's because the cruise industry is now suing to be able to operate
That was interesting, thank you for sharing.
My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it.
I like that they have crew only spaces. Gives crew some nice down time.
From what I hear they are on 85 percent of the time
Just another day in paradise ! 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴
NGL, that staff bar looks pretty baller compared to what my short time working at a hotel led me to expect. The staff areas there were pretty dingy.
Thanks for sharing. I like to learn about ships.
My pleasure.
I was on a big cruiser in the US. Navy and I have this reoccurring dream that I am back on my ship and can't find my way out. Sometimes I wander around for hours lost below decks, going up and down passageways and ladders, but I never seem to find the main deck, it's very frustrating, and then I wake up in my condo. This vid made me think of that.
No, it is called I-95 after the long interstate highway on the east coast. Immigration from I-95 is for crew, but that the highway reference is more logical for the long hallway
at last somebody with some pleasant background music ... thumbs up to that
Wow, thanks. Most people just complain about the music I have on there haha.
The Piano Player, I'm the best because there's only me ... LOL
Yeah, Vladimir was great!
What a memories i was in Diamond princess cruise line 2005-2007 good video
Its a really good video! The people needs to know our way inside of the ship!
pretty cool to see this
Wow! Those accommodations are pretty nice, so much better than on a US Navy aircraft carrier! How awesome it would have been to have a crew bar! We only had two cafeterias, same food at each. Food was okay for cafeteria food. Our gym was a little smaller than that one, to serve 5,300 crew members. Our passageways were all painted grey, with green tile floors and lined with pipes of various sizes color coded for what they transport. Our bunks were three high and about 12 of them were contained in each 14' x 9' area. Personal storage space was two small lockers. Our cruise were six months long, with port calls usually less than 45 days apart, but sometimes 90 days.
Thank you for your service!
I don't want to hear ANY complaining from you, Aircraft Carrier. NONE!
Signed,
Destroyer Sailor
@@kennedymcgovern5413 Hah! Yeah, I guess we had it pretty cushy for the navy, especially when the weather got rough. I think you guys probably had better food though. See the thing is on an aircraft carrier being so big with over 5,00 crew, people generally only know the guys in their own division. So the guys making your food don't know you, so they have little motivation to try to make your food taste beter. They don't know you, they are paid to make food, not necessarily to make it taste good. On a tin can, you all know each other and they are therefore more likely to care about whether you like the food they're serving up. Still, I think in terms of personal space and other conditions, you would find that it is roughly the same on a carrier. We had our coffin locker and a small stand up locker about 3' tall by 2' deep by 1' wide, that's it. Our racks were the same they have everywhere in the navy at the time, stacked three high. You guys always think we have it so easy on a carrier, but it's really all about the same. A carrier is big, but it is packed full of bombs, missiles, jet fuel, that massive hangar bay for the planes, massive storage for food to feed 5,300 men for a minimum of three months, etc. The only thing besides during rough weather that is better on a carrier is for those who like to run. They could run on the flight deck when there were no flight ops. That was only about twice a day.
@@richardduerr9983 Just yanking your chain, there, Shipmate.
I have been aboard one of your cities. A friend from Great Mistakes ended up on the Ike. I saw him on the pier in Norfolk, and he took me aboard. After a while, I was holding on to the back of his dungarees, because had I lost him...I'd STILL be trying to find the weatherdecks of that f'in thing!
Yes, the three high coffin racks were the same as we had. You had the same little stand up locker for hanging your inspection uniforms. All that was the same. Hahas, now here is what was different:
When you first reported aboard a Destroyer, the open racks to choose from were all on the top. You soon learned why. As time went on, you worked your way to a bottom rack, as people transferred out.
Why would the bottom rack, where you had to fight people all the time to keep their boondockers off of your mattress, be coveted? Simple answer: Because when that ship rolled and threw you out of your rack...it was a LOT further to fall from the top!
Everything else you guessed was pretty close. With 350 crew...you knew everybody. There were the guys you knew WELL, the ones you saw down in the Engineering spaces all day every day. Then there were the Twidgets and Deck Apes that you saw less often, but you still saw and knew who they were. But for sure...you knew everyone, as it is quite possible to know 350 people.
Alot the same. A little different. The food wasn't exactly high class, but I have to admit it did not suck. And since you spent your first couple of months aboard mess cranking and there was only ONE mess deck...yeah, you knew the all of the MS's very well. Eating was a hell of a lot better for us than it was those poor jarheads living off of MREs.
Good times, Shipmate. Good times!
I worked at a high end resort and spa and the hallways and cafeteria remind me of it all underground but not at sea of course. Yes you do get used to all the different ways to go pretty quickly.
beautiful landscape video
I-95 is also the main highway from Homestead Florida to Maine.
@Dong Army Stangler Nonetheless, it's a damn long, busy highway. English ships used to call this long passageway "Scotland Road"
Have been on a cruise ship only once in my life and by the second day I was ready to jump. This just shows me that I would never want to work on a cruise ship either
Looks very nice and luxurious.
piano player is a very underrated position/skill set...drank alot of martinis at the piano bar last time i went cruising. ;)
Is the Norwegian Jewel or Gem! I was on the jewel as a dancer... and I already knew where you were going before you got there! Hahaha! X
haha- it's the other Jewel-class ship: the Jade. I was on it and then my next contract was the Gem so I know exactly what you mean.
WORK ON CRUISE SHIPS wow... Norwegian definitely know how to treat their crew. Looks like an easy enough space to live.
I just wanted to be honest, some ppl have the best time of their lives working on cruise ships while some live in fear in regard to management. I never was afraid to address my concerns but they fought me in every way and still i left proud knowing I overcame my adversaries. Some of his stuff is that you meet some amazing ppl and travel to different ports, free flood and housing.
The free flood is probably a motherfucker right 😜
Danny Montoya 🤣🤣
Yup it really depends on your rank or position on board..some work short hours so they had lots of time to go offshore and lots of rest.
Wow nice tour...👍👍👍
Im glad you enjoyed it.
I was on the Jade as a guest at port in Puerto Vallarta. I was working onboard the Island Princess and a 2 stripe food and beverage supervisor invited me onboard for a look.
Fun to see behind the scenes. Ty. Love cruising. Appreciate the video
Glad you enjoyed it.
Great Video !!!!
I was in the Us Navy from 1980-1986 and spent more than 3 of those years on a warship. A cruise ship is space and luxury in comparison,but it's still not a job I would want. Love your vids.Good luck!
Thank you for your service!
Glad you're enjoying the videos.
Awesome video! Thanks!
My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it.
On days with rough seas, the game of pool goes into hard mode.
Yes, indeed! Great players are terrible and terrible players are great!
Thank you for the Great video
My pleasure.
Interesting. Enjoy your job👍
Aircraft carrier was just marvelous to see up close
? This is a cruise ship, not an aircraft carrier
Uhhhhh... Yeah Aircraft Carrier. 😂
Not being negative but that was my experience onboard as a cleaner. I wanted to be a state attendant but was put as a cleaner. They say the first contract is always the hardest. Long hours, high internet, racism and mistreatment. I met cool ppl who kept me from giving up on my contract.
Just read your other comment and wow- that does suck. People don't realize it, but racism is rampant on board. Not just a black on white. It's between all the different nationalities. Guests: Don't let them fool you in that we along get along like a big happy family. Most times, it can be more segregated than a prison yard. Yes, internet is a joke- it's too expensive at sea and too slow. As far as management- yes, I have come across people in other departments who've dealt with it. And in those positions (and depending on which countries you're coming from); it's extremely difficult to speak up for 2 reasons: 1- No one will do anything (human resources is a complete joke), 2- In fear of losing your job. I've had management in my department try to do some of these things but I came right back at them. However, being from the U.S., I wasn't concerned about losing my job over it. I also got into it with an upper level officer during a cabin inspection trying to bully myself and roommate but we wouldn't put up with it. Second time around he brought the one U.S. officer on board with him to try and diffuse the situation haha. If you still work on board, try to find some one from the U.S. (not just anyone, but someone like me who won't take their shit) and make a friendship. Cause we'll show you how to navigate that shit and put you in contact with the handful of management who will fight for you. Even by contacting the right people in shore side management. I've done it before for someone in a similar situation as yours and got a meeting on the bridge with him, his supervisor, human resources, the hotel director, the cruise director (my supervisor) and the staff captain. Let's just say, he had a much more pleasant experience throughout the rest of his contract. And I had a lot of questionable stares at me for the rest of mine lol.
I worked on a boutique cruise line and we had SO little choices for food, where to hang out, etc. We had to eat in the crew mess, which was mostly Filipino food or lousy attempts at American/Brit tastes. Not good. One tiny bar. One windy outdoor space to smoke and hang. Weren't allowed on deck with the guests at all. We were paid better than on the big ships, but after 4 months my attitude was not good. Like your video a lot, by the way!
That's unfortunate. My attitude was great for bout first 2 weeks. By the end of month 2 I was ok. By the end of month 3 I was miserable and realized I still had 3 months left haha. Glad you enjoyed the video.
@@workoncruiseship Lol.
Lasts in 3 months?
Mine lasts in th first week.... Lol.
And th rest of 8 months is full of "suck it up" Attitude Lol
That crew bar lounge seemeds more legit and coozy than the actual passenger amenities areas👌
It was the best place to be after your shift! I worked on this ship when it was NCLA Pride of Hawaii , and I provided the music in the "gas chamber" (via laptop and tiny PA speaker another crewmate had) after my work in the galley lol.
ooohhhhh...really bring back old my memories...been 3 years on Norwegian JADE
I am with Princess but they let me tour the Jewel one time at port.
Thank you for the video! 😉
My pleasure.
WORK ON CRUISE SHIPS
👍
when you sign up for a job in a cruise ship, but you live in a submarine
Great video...
That is a lot nicer than another one that I saw. There was one video where the crew level sleeping quarters that the floors were always wet and moldy.
Wasn't that about The Santa María?
@@randallmarsh1187 I don't remember. I do remember it was on a Royal Caribean ship because we had used that line a couple of times and I thought how horrible!!
in addition to a salary, and free room and board, ship's stewards are tipped. This means that a voyage is expense-free, and that a steward can return home with a bucket-full of money, not every penny always declared for taxes.
Yeah, these people are not getting rich. Gimme a break. It for those who like adventure, not a serious career yet. I wish I did it!
Depend on th company. In 1 of th TUI cruise it written in th ticket "tips included"
And mostly th pax ar brit in which not get used to tip.
So.... "Deal with it"... Lol
It's a wonderful life! I also work on board as a musician.
That’s awesome though, you have your own little cruise within a cruise lol I like it
Lol I don't care what anyone says in the comments. Working on a cruise ship is the best time of my life! :) I'm on holidays now and can't wait to go back!
Very interesting. LOL...I thought it was called I-95 in reference to the Interstate Highway in America. I was WAAAY off.
Thank you for this.
It is referenced by the interstate but on board it just became a running joke for the Non-US documents.
Saw Vladimir on QM2. A very talented jazz pianist.
Yes, he definitely is. And such a great guy, too.
Did this help you get a better idea of what the crew areas are like? Did I leave anything out or would you like me to elaborate more on something?
Please let me know, I'd love to hear your feedback!
Yeah, I wish I didn't rush through it. I videotaped it a few years back and thought some people would be curious. It's nothing fancy but definitely a different world down there.
Which ship was this? I feel it was probably a Princess Cruises ship (could very easily be wrong,) but which one?
The hallways, crewbar and crewmess/staffmess are very familiar to me. This is NCL but i cant remember what ship it is.

Well done excellent great 👍 job
Well said! ❤️
4:40 making the crew pay for access at internet cafe while the ship is underway and everyone is working their butts off seems pretty cheap and low rent move by cruise co.
It is, from experience most crewmembers pay aropund 50 dollars a month on packages.
Especially when you consider there is no cost per person in providing it. It is essentially profit.
