Ship Life: Free Time

- Living onboard can sometimes seem to drag out and cruising to the same place every week can get monotonous, but if you take advantage of everything the cruise line and your ship has to offer, your contract will definitely be enjoyable.

Who else felt like it was a face to face conversation with him? Amazing speaker!
Jonathan Rodriguez me too he was great I subscribe I found him relaxing.
ye kind of, but I would prefer if he had jumpcuts between pauses
So right. I only wanted to watch just a snip bit, but I ended up watching the entire video. Great job bro. Some people are so annoying with the way they speak. Great job again bro
I think I spend most of my time catching up on sleep, especially toward the end of my contract!
That's what I was thinking too. Number one thing employees do after work should be sleep and rest. Once that is accomplished, then go out for drinks or excursions.
As someone that sailed in the US Merchant Marine for over 30 years, mostly on Commercial Cargo and Tanker but I did sail as an Engineer on a couple of Cruise ships, it's nice seeing people make videos like this showing and tell what shipboard life is really like.
One thing that I was told really hit home. Never work on a Ship where the "Cargo" can talk back. LOL
I heard someone put it this way. "Every night is a Friday night and every morning is a Monday morning" :D
A) Drills for crew members,B) stand watch,C) Interact with passengers, D)stand watch,E) keep up morale of officers above me,F) watch again On the Niagara Prince,77.foot small cruise ship on Eastern Canals and Great Lakes. And History lecture, and shore excursions
I use to work for Prison...I mean Princess cruises in 2010-2011. Why am I watching this?
Also worked for Princess cruise 2015-2018...why am I watching this too 😂
Prison😂 was it that bad?
Love your videos, man! Thank you!
So much respect for you guys. My daughter works on cruise ships. I know how hard you all work
Worked on Princess cruises for about 3 years... let me tell you, you learn to nap in an hour in your uniform.. had an absolute blast tho!
Thanks brother for sharing your experience, it's really fells like that we both are talking to each other hehe
Hey, Sean.
I'm watching your channel since I decided to myself to be a future worker of NCL (as an assistant waiter) and I can say you help me a lot about your personal experience.
This video is definitely the most important video about begin a lifestyle in the sea.
Thank you so much for your time sharing your experiences!
Hey how did u get the job on cruise ship? Currently I am looking for a job as a waiter on a cruise ship
Got a new subscriber 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
No days off for months at a time? Ack!!!
finally someone whos honest about how much they work and explain it better.. I do have a lot of respect for crew members but i really feel for those you dont see who work even hard than those you see
The cabin stewards you do see, and they are overworked.
gosh i love your videos
I love your videos!
I worked as a manager in the service industry for over 40 years and all I can say is cruise ship managers sound like they're terrible at their job. They should be able to manage their people well enough to give them a comfortable working schedule and they should have the brains to realize that an overworked crew member is not asset. Good for your team working a comfortable solution if a willing manager and team work together they could come up with some incredible solutions to get the job done without treating everyone like a piece of meat.
I'm retired Navy. Your experience sounded a lot like mine.
Hello sir thanks for the sharing your knowledge and experience with us
Sleep, sleep sleep!!! Occasionally go site seeing
Very interesting - Thanks !
Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s been very useful watching your videos.
Stephanie Rend you are very welcome
Great extemporaneous speaking. No "uh" or "ums". Enjoyed this
Thank you so much. I say "you know" a lot but I definitely try to be as well-versed as possible.
Just a few uh's, but that doesn't bother me. Everyone does that some.
What I hate is people starting every sentence with "So". Or just saying "So, yeah". Glad you didn't do that.
Greene = I wouldn't have noticed as much if you hadn't pointed it out. Now, I've noticed every one. You know...um yeah! Nothing against Sean. It was your comment that brought attention & I still have no idea why you left that comment. I'm assuming others use "uh" & "ums' a lot?
Calling All Hands On Deck! Think he was kidding, as interesting as this was he did say um TONS of times so greeneguy must be joking
@@LumenChaser Oh really now?
I find your cruise life series really interesting. I've always wondered what life was like for the crew and at one time considered it for myself because I love travelling. I'm an avid cruiser. New sub here!
oh man. .08 is twice the amount we were allowed to ever blow on NCL's PoA in Hawaii. I have seen people fired for .041. That's just two drinks
I'm brazilian and I knew your channel now. I wanna to work on a ship in future😊
Are you working now?
I'm struggling here.. cannot decide if I should go practice to get the gig or keep watching videos about it! These are great videos and I love the idea of cruise ships
Here is the scoop: do as I do: I do not drink any kind of alcohol, maybe every once in while, every six months? I don't even like the taste of alcohol: find it like taking medication … drink fruit or vegetable juices, tea, coffee, chocolate. And if some one pushes you to drink alcohol send him/her to fly a kite. If you get extra time, then use it productively: learn something useful, maybe language skills, or maybe some useful trait even by reading some good books. Or the best … I read the Bible everyday and I know that I am not alone, no mater who are or are not with me.
How do cruises work?
Like ik you work around 6 months and then some time off all depending on what you are.
But do you go all different places that entire time with the same passengers... do you switch passengers like halfway... like whaaaaa
Very interesting !
Hi it's a great vidio thank you for sharing your experience... Actually I want to ask about youth counselor, what do you think about that ? I mean could you explain to me whats the roll working as youth counselor at cruise ship ?
My girlfriend is on the Carnival Magic. Very informative channel.
Thanks.
Bobby B you’re welcome!
Way of your talking 👌👌👌👌GBU👍
Hi Sean Love your videos. May I attach your video or video link for my article about life onboard? (I'll be creating Chinese subtitle for the video ) Thnaks!
I don’t think I could be bothered to hang out at crew bar after working all day and this concerns me as surely that’s the best way to make friends who you can hang out with on your time off !
Can crew buy duty free liquor and keep it in their cabin for after hours cabin parties?
Hi Sean, can you do a video where you can show us a demo schedule of a week to get to know more about a day to day of how its going to be, im thinking of joining a crew working in the youth staff working with kids, and want to know if its going to be like working on a campground.
Jorge Mankita yeah I’ll try to put together a day to day video for a week long cruise I used to work. I’ll try and fill in stuff for youth staff.
My sister got us a cruise on carnival. I had a blast but still felt guilty that all these folks from poor countries bust their ass and see all this extravagance, wasted food, etc. for low pay. We always tip well but I still feel guilty as an American, even if I work paycheck to paycheck in a factory. I try to talk to them about themselves and tried not to make them go through extra effort on my behalf. Tried not to be an asshole.
RR F Great attitude ! Tipping is good :-) Can I suggest?.....Make a difference in one person's life. I'm one of the poorest Australians, but I know I'm rich compared to most of the world. I pay for two young women for college in Thailand. One is $1,000 per year, the other $2,000. AU$3,000 (U.S.$2,000) total, plus texts.
Amazing video, very informative and so natural. Keep it going!
Napping. The last 3 months of my contract, napping is the best
Michael Dartnell hows the pay w/ tips ?
@@Lowkeychaye probably a lot better. Unfortunately the shops (duty free and gift shop) don't get tips. Benefit regardless is not needing to pay for rent, food (unless you want fancy food) and that if you want a drink, its very discounted. So in 6 months i could save a fair bit. That said, i didn't spend much money on tourist things.
Thank you for replying
What about the swimming pool? Can crew members use it?
Hi Sean, thanks for share with us your experiences absolutely valuable!!!Im brazilian and should be joining the Costa Crociere soon... coul you please tell me a little about the Sports instructor working routine on board!? Cheers man!Júnior
Gleudson Junior So the sports instructors, at least on NCL, were basically cruise staff. During the day, you will be in charge of the outside activities. Climbing wall, tennis, basketball, soccer, water slides, pool activities. Sometimes cruise staff will do that too but sports instructors are the outside people. But then at night; you will proabably be doing what cruise staff does. Dressing up in your more formal evening uniform, and you’ll be at the shows as ushers or selling bingo and tickets, and you will probably be at the night events dancing st the theme parties too. Expect to be super super busy. It should be fun though
A REALISTIC ACCOUNT....OF THE FACTS.
What’s the average wage? And how many to a cabin?
thnx for the video im leaving on my first tour in august to work in the casino do you have some in and outs about that sector i hope you could help me and keeping making this good vibes
G M what ship are u working on
New subbie here from Philippines
Hi Sean, When I get my job to work as a guest service agent, can I get trained in the photography department too?
Trust me, you don't want to work there. To work as a photographer in 2022 is a nightmare.
Many thanks for your video. I have a question: do crew directors put crew members of the same nationality together? What if I don't feel well with my neighbor? Is it possible to live alone? Thanks in advance.
A. B. No. You nationality means nothing when it comes to roommates. And no, if your contract is to share a room, you will share a room. If you dislike your current roommate you can tell HR and they will attempt to move you to another room with another roommate. But you will never be given your own cabin unless your job title is high enough to have one.
Word !
oh my word. Hey handsome wishing you a cheerful and a blessed new year big hugs from INDIA
TommyTommy You are sweet. Thanks you so much! Happy New Year!
What's it like for the engine department crew members? Do they have similar working hours as the entertainment crew members? And do they get similar perks like being able to visit passenger areas and get off at ports?
W0LL3 from what I saw; the engine crew worked more specific shift hours. Like 8am to 8pm. I don’t think many of the engine crew could come into passenger areas. Maybe only managers. Everyone is able to get off at ports if they’re not working. But the entertainment team had a lot more freedom in being able to be in public areas.
Coffee With Sean thanks for the reply
as soon as i get medicals and stuff im going as photographer
Ezequiel Pereyra congratulations! Don’t get too burned out too quickly haha
8 month contract i better not hahaha
So how is it? I just got hired as a photographer myself, starting on 8th December!
I was a 'Tog' for 2 and a half years, Its hard hard work and long long hours but its an experience, hopefully you have a good ship and a good manager. Don't get peer pressured into going out every night it will burn you out! Enjoy!
Photographer's life is insane. Too crazy.
Is it possible for staff to get discount tickets for their families?like if i were on a ship and maybe want a holiday for my mum and get a trip for her?
Papaya Papatya Absolutely. That’s one of the main big perks of workin for a cruise line. AND when you are on vacation, you could go to a port and potentially get on a ship for free.
What work experience did you have before you got your job before the cruise job, if I may ask?
McKnizzle90 I went to college and studied Broadcasting. I also did an internship at a TV station and I did some production work when I lived in Los Angeles. But really I just made my resume look good and I did well in my interview. I spent a lot of my first contract re-learning a bunch of stuff with video and editing. My advise is to redo you resume to really reflect the job you are applying for and make yourself look good. And make sure you do well in the interview.
Are you allowed to go to shows and stuff on your off days or eat at the buffet and stuff?
Connor Hale not everyone. But some of the crew do have passenger privilege. So I was able to do those things in my position.
Sir i have a question i have an application to a cruise ship and my application has been considered they email me to wait for their call but unfortunately it's been 7 months now and i didn't receive a call will they still call me.
Joey Malate it took me 8 months before I heard anything. Be patient. But I would keep contacting the people
Who emailed you to see if there is anything else you ca do to help the process
I fell asleep, but it's a real talk video
Recently went on a cruise on the Disney Fantasy. Most of the crew were from other countries, with hardly any from the US. I have no issue with it, just very curious.
Omaha419 most crew members are not from the US or Canada because we expect more money for our work. Also, we get paid more back in the US and Canada for lesser jobs. So most crew members are from other countries because those people are willing to work for less. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, because even though compared to US currency, they may be making low pay, when they take that US pay back home and exchange it into their currency, it may be more than they could make back home.
Makes perfect sense, thanks.
It has been stated on other videos that cruise lines avoid hiring most Americans because they are use to 40 hr work weeks. They don't make good hard workers. Too entitled!
Hi!! Thanks for the information! I hace a doubt now, when we have to start working at 5pm in the gangway... do we take breakfast first? It is 24 hs the place to take food if the schedules arent the same for everyone? Thanks! Sorry for my english, I hope you understood my doubt. Bye! Ill be waiting for the answer.
Im going to be part of the photography department in princess cruises.
Yamila Luduena you will always be able
To have food before you have to work. No worries about that
@@CoffeeWithSean ohhh thanks for the last 2 minutes of this videos... its true... about the positive outlook... to make friends and take advantages of everything we are given because maybe wont be that way in the next... thanks!
What’s it like for officers onboard? Both engine and deck?, if that’s something you can comment on.
Connor Harvey to be honest, I didn’t see the deck officers much. They were always working crazy hours and long days. Plus many of them had their own cabins so they didn’t care to come to crew bar. Reach out to Jordan F Martin. He may know some people who can answer so of your more specific questions
Coffee With Sean thank you anyway!
The deck and a engineers work 8 hours a day, 4 hrs in the morning, and 4 hours at night
How many weeks or months do they give you for a vacation/going home? I'M 18 and nearly graduating senior high, and I'm interested on working on a cruise😍
Tree shang from 6 to 16 weeks usually... if you have experience in the hospitality industry is a plus. A quick google search will show you job listings
I was told 5 to 6 months working and 5 to 6 weeks off and if I’m not mistaking you need to be at least 21
OMG OMG OMG OMG 9:06 I live in BELIZE!!!!
How can I apply for this. Please show me the path or direction to join the cruise or make a vedio that how a technician join cruise line and how many kinds of technical dipartment are there
Mandeep Kumar Check our my buddy Jordan’s channel. He talks more about it. th-cam.com/video/TnzIzqPdSow/w-d-xo.html
Coffee With Sean thanx sir
How many cups of coffee do you drink per day 😏🤔(and how many times have you been asked this question).. lol
Nice video and good channel. A lot of helpful content. .08 BAC. I recently started looking into cruise line jobs. If this is in fact true, I will not consider working for a cruise line.
Brian it is true
if you're planning to work in a cruise ship, you must check out for your self, you must have a lion hearth and body of stell.. 😄😄😄
wow its a really Amazing ship life thanks again sir sean:)
Hello i want work for cruise ship i don't have experience
I got a job with HAL but since i recently got rejected from us visit visa embassy, my agency cantsubmit my bisa application till april 2019!! I cant wait to join the cruise life as i like how detail u explain everhthing in each of ur video. One question though n i hope u be honest. I'm indonesian do you thi k there is racism toward work in term of promotion or in a crew life itself.
Meg Tambunan it depends on your department and your management honestly. So I hope in your case it is not an issue and you get promoted to the top!!!
I’m 21 years old
3 years of experience in hospitality and fine dining restaurant experience
I speak 3 languages (Spanish, English and Portuguese) and currently learning a 4th one (Dutch)
I would know what to do already
I wanna go so bad that would be the only way to save good money! I wanna do that so bad, any website to apply?
Clay Easton go to the cruise line websites and apply directly
Hi there, thanks for your vids! Question...I hv experience in film n tv, can I apply for entertainment department? Thought of photography but heard it's insane....thnks in advance)
Tina Kristina Piliya absolutely. Apply for broadcast tech or the entertainment staff if you want. I would mint do photo personally
@@CoffeeWithSean awesome, thanks! One more bother) how is the broadcasting tech job? Meaning, on feet, or more controlled environment in front of PC? Plus, they do train you, right? Many many 🙏🏼
Tina Kristina Piliya it’s half on your feet and half on the computer. And yes they’ll train you. No worries haha
@@CoffeeWithSean God bless u🙏🏼😉
Do you get totally burn out working on a cruise? You seem exhausted now...
colywogable yeah it can get super exhausting. When your vacation starts you crash for
Like a week haha
Well am Indian passport holder working in kuwait as a HVAC maintenance technician from last two years I want to join cruise line
then apply at the shipping companies. I never understand why people try to get jobs over social media ^^
So of you smoke you have to take a shit load of cigs???...and if you get sea sick how do they keep that from happening???
Zitty Tenenbaum they sell discount cigarettes at crew bar. And we all have access to the medical center if we need it
@@CoffeeWithSean nice
Bottom line: It's a JOB with bosses and rules.It ain't all fun and games.
I had 8 monhs contracts as a photographer.
I’m about to start a 6 month contract as a photographer. Any tips?
@@lianelow4176 It's hard life these days. It used to be fun back in the 2000s.
I can offer you some advice from mybexperience on board Carnival ships, also MSC.
English language obviously is a must, the rest you learn. It deppends on whether or not the company requires previous experience as a photographer or not. (That can be an advantage).
There are other aspects, such as medical and eventually IMO certificates.
If you want, we can talk more details on IRC or some other safe way.
@@cyberp0et I’ve been a photographer for 4 years I’m just doing this for the money and to see the world for a bit. I know the hours are going to be brutal. I obviously speak English and a little bit of French. Did you get much time off the ship?
@@lianelow4176 Once or twice a week we would get (by rotation) a "morning off", where we could go off the ship as soon as the ship docked and didn't have to work in the morning. So we could have, for example time to go outside since around 8 AM till 5PM. Those were the days. But now there is no such thing any more. Double work, same salary, less free time, more corporate bullshit and more and more pressure. Back in 2008-2010 (when I worked for Carnival) it used to be great. You would work hard, but also get your free time to recharge your batteries.
I remember that the average free time outside in 2010 was about three hours. hardly had the time to gou out for an hour or two, then had to be back.For hours was about the most in one week. No morning offs, and embarkation off was only for ass-lickers. And your work got rewarded. Not any more. A lot of ass lickers have been promoted as well ("diversity" presumably). I would rather work fora lot less money and not be a slave and enjoy what is beautiful around me.
@@lianelow4176 Take as little luggage as possibly can. The more lightweight the better. And when on board do not allow STRESS to affect you. There are plenty of a-holes working on cruise ships whose lives are miserable, and are doing their best to make other one's as miserable as theirs (while pretending they are so "happy and gay") . Get off the ship as much as you possibly can and avoid wasting your nights. Rest is important during the nights.
How do administrators work? 10 hours per day as well. I'm thinking of applying for a Housekeeping administrator position. Any insights about their experience on the ship?
well, how'd it go?
Hi Sean, I have recently being offered a job of Front Desk Executive in cruise by Emrill Consultancy Recruitment.
Can you help me to understand the Job and responsibilities of the same.
Thanks in advance.
Sagar Bhujel assuming you are onboard a ship, for the most part; the front desk people deal with the guests. Like the front desk of a super busy hotel. You deal with complaints and answering questions. It can be tiring because the hours are long and you aren’t moving a lot; but more because cruise ships passengers can get pretty annoying. And most of the front desk people did other duties too. If you speak other languages you may be asked translate the daily itineraries. I would assume you will Be mainly guest facing. However, I haven’t heard of that recruiting agency. So once you know what company and what ship you will be working on, I maybe able to know a little more info. Congratulations on the offer!!
Sean Price thanks a ton Sean! It’s nice to hear from you. Further, EMRIL RECRUITMENT CONSULTANCY is basically a third party agency who is hiring for CRUISE. It is located at Sydney (Australia). Often I feel that may be I am being cheated as I cannot see any website of this agency and when I asked them they said it is under development hence unable to check the website.
Also, if you can give me some idea about salary provided for Front Desk Executive job which I have been offered.
Sagar Bhujel Just don’t pay them any money. Sometimes the agencies as part of your contract will take a percentage but no agency should be having you pay them upfront. Also, on some of the cruise line websites you can find a list of agencies they use in different companies. See if you can find a list to double
Check
Sagar Bhujel you can probabaly expect between 1500 and 2000 US dollars
Who got the worst job on ship?
My dream is to work in cruise
But I don't know how to apply and for which post i am apply for
Please suggest me
I am doing advance diploma in tourism and hospitality management now.
Krishnakant Amin cruise staff or front desk
You must decide for yourself coz you're the one who's going to perform that job.
Hi Sean, I’m just wondering how old do you have to be to work on a ship?
I’m 18 and graduating highschool in a couple months and I’m looking for jobs and Cruise ships are top of my list.
Cake Is Real I am pretty sure the minimum age is 21. Sorry. Some of the other companies that are brought on to ships, though; you could be younger. Like the spa company Steiner. But I say apply anyway and see what happens. Good luck!
Sean Price I figured that would be the age 😂
The smaller cruise ships have it to where you can work at 18 but I'm not sure which one's
to drive in australia you can't be over .05
Did anyone else hear-"napping is cruisecial"
how do cruise ships stop prostitutes from "working" on board these ships?
So I’m starting my contract the start of next year and in America I’m not legal drinking age, I’m assuming I won’t be allowed into the crew bar when they are serving alcohol? Would this be the same as when they’ve got crew parties?
Gracie Knauth you are absolutely allowed in crew bar. You just arent allowed to drink.
Plz tell me about hvac department.
rajanikant sharma unfortunately I don’t know anything about the HVAC team. I’m sorry
Its ok bro plz can u gather some information of that field .at present r u on board or in home. u r working for which cruise company
rajanikant sharma Right now I’m at home. I’m not working onboard at the moment. Reach out to Jordan F Martin. He may know someone in that field. Go check out his channel. He may be more helpful for this question.
You look tired mate hahahha
Why don’t they hire more crew so work won’t be so long?
Christopher & Pamela Tucker only so much space on a ship
I was thinking the same thing lol.. people would be harder working if they weren’t so exhausted
I just want to work on the cruise so bad
Becareful what you wish...
Wondering why whites want to hellish cruise ship?
For indian they are paying very less😢
Can you go on to the pool in your free time
Bruno Covic No. crew weren’t allowed in the passenger pool. But on all my ships; there was a hot tub on the front of the ship near the bow that was just for crew. It was a private sun deck area just for us. So we could go there in our free time. And passengers aren’t allowed there
Thanks for your responsd
Hi sean..
I have recently offered a job of snack attendent in celebrity cruise ....can you plz help me out in understanding the job

Um you are working all the time every day for up to 15 hours at the few hours you have left you sleep eat or drink yourself out of being upset!
recruiter "Hey do you want to work shit hours for shit pay? Is an adventure i swear." You might as well join the military. Better benefits.
except for the bullets
Hi There! Í wanna work in a Cruise ship, i don't know what possition apply, i have expirience in telesales for 5 years, im seller, but i also believe i can do good as a waiter, i Also want yo make money, what do you think, where would i make more money? 😁
David Estrada for entry positions you would make most money probably in the entertainment department. So look there for position you may like
Sean Price uh ok, what do think is the pay in that deparment that u recomend
David Estrada I was making $2000 US per month when I started.
Sean Price what is entertainment department do? Can u please explain a little bit bout this department? Thankyou
Is it true that flirting and forbidden affairs and sex are just ordinary part of life in a cruise ship? I mean, how could that be? 😐
Jennifer Fernandez so I said this is my “dating” video. But I personally would not go work on a cruise ship if I were married or in a relationship, unless that person I’m married to or dating is on the ship with me. Too many temptations. But that’s just me. Many people make long distance work. But there is always opportunity for companionship onboard
Thank you sean for answering my question...i love your videos..keep them coming
Brother i Apply in rcl company almost 4 Nd half months gone still I have chance or not can u help me out🙂
Vikram singh it took me 8 months before I even heard anything. You jus have to be patient
Coffee With Sean thanks 🙏🏻 and have a day👍
Most jobs are mundane,repetive.
Are this guy's eyes dialated? Something about his mannerisms makes me think something is going on here.
I feel the same way. He seems stressed or exhausted or something...
you look tired.
10 hrs a day and 7 days a week 😂😂 man every person in India works more than that, don't get me wrong but india is a labor intensive country so not blaming you 😟 at least you got to see a beautiful view everyday 😍❤️
