Hey , im looking to start with American cruise line for their deckhand position. Spoke with SIU admissions and they said their basic training and seatime will carry over. Have you heard any decent things about ACL?
When I went there no, but they are updating there curriculum so you can utilize Microsoft teams. If you don’t have a labtop you can borrow one from the library
I have so many questions I just got hired by NCL but I heard that the ship is so unstable I want stable career where I won’t fired something stupid while making money.
Thank you so much for sharing !! I wanted to know how was your physical activity in phase 1? Did your class ride bikes or did strength training exercises?
Your welcome! No we didn’t ride bikes but there is a gym you can go to. Sometimes Mr. Guy (who is in charge of the classes) also does gym classes with us too
That sucks that you had to start over! I signed up for a Basic training course in December and cannot wait to start my training next February. Im over my 9-5 ! Are they allowing you to use your seatime at SIU?
@keysointernational874 I figured they would not let you ...but honestly you got the best training from SIU . I'm leaving corrections after 5 years so I'm sacrificing for a bit but I know it will be all worth it in the end. I want to go engine but I'll probably do steward to finish quicker . Are you getting a good amount of jobs when you go to the hall? Because I see alot of deck dept more than Steward? And you said we can drive ourselves to phase 1 instead of flying?
Hi, I was wondering how is training and if we get some type of pay? I’m thinking about applying but was interested in deck. Don’t have any experience at all and also waiting for my MMC. Already have my TWIC and passport. Thanks
Hello, you’ll only get paid 40 bi weekly not sure if it changed since I went to the school. But once you’ll receive your first assignment you’ll earn more money so i recommend to save money before coming to the program
Hey hope all is good . Are still with SIU? Is the MMC that NCL help me get is it good for SIU. I’m thinking doing one tour with them and then going to SIU. How’s your experience out there?
Yes the same credentials I received from ncl works with SIU. It’s completely different then cruise ships. It’s a lot more flexible, depending on the department you choose
I’m between Deck & Stewart but yes can wait I wish I would have know now when I was 20. I’m just waiting for my MMC so they could send me to Piney Point.
@@SoldierDad1980 no I totally understand I felt the same way. But your here now & that’s all that matters. The training for NCL is a little different then SIU, so while your at piney point I suggest to ask all the questions you need so you can be aware of what SIU has to offer
@@SoldierDad1980 visit the port office when you can when your there & ask how can you join. They will suggest that you go into the apprentice program. A lot of people will avoid that & go into SIU as a C-card just an FYI
I was watching your videos and another person. The training that ya did 7-8 months that’s the apprentice right? And what’s a C-Card ? I wanna do the 8 months.
When you went for your medical exam when you was with NCL what do they check for bc I'm worried on my heart rate or blood pressure how to bring it down bc I just wanna make sure I pass
It’s definitely worth it. Each ship pays different depending on each contract. They also have contracts with NCL if you want sea time but I wouldn’t recommend it because you won’t make much
So sea time with ncl won’t really count as much as SIU? Trying to see if it will be better to do like one contract with NCL then Do the apprenticeship with SIU NCL offered me a position but I’m leaning more on SIU wanting to join Galla
@@user-ff6hm1ih6d the sea time you’ll earn from NCL will not count, however you can try it out to see if ship life is for you. Even though it’s a different experience & you can achieve your credentials and be ahead of the game if you do decide to get into SIU
When you went for your medical exam what was your BMI and .one is 43 and I passed the lift test very easily but since my BMI is 43 the doctor wants me to get a sleep study test done so he left my physical on pending and when I talked to NCL about this he said he has never heard of a sleep study test required to pass so I believe it's just the doctors opinion so there going to go over them exam with the medical team and see if it is necessary
@@dustinhowe8429 I've seen bigger guys then me in training video on here wonder if they had to do a sleep study test or just the lift test if they didn't then it's just the doctors opinion and I'm in the process of losing weight and I applied for insurance but they told me they will talk to the medical team about it and see if it is necessary or not I wonder if I fail if they will let me redo my weight or the whole physical if I lose 30 pounds

Your welcome! No we didn’t ride bikes but there is a gym you can go to. Sometimes Mr. Guy (who is in charge of the classes) also does gym classes with us too
When you say the fast track program , may i ask how lomg was the fast track program for Steward department?
They don’t have the fast track program any more
Do you get train in all areas or just what you go out for if you don't know how to cool what other stuff can we do as a steward
Deck or engine are the other departments
That sucks that you had to start over! I signed up for a Basic training course in December and cannot wait to start my training next February. Im over my 9-5 ! Are they allowing you to use your seatime at SIU?
Hiiii…
It’s okay I learned a little more then what I learned from NCL. Unfortunately they didn’t allow me to use that sea time.
