Many cruise ships are registered to the Bahamas or Panama to get the international and labour laws loophole. There are no illegal immigrants and almost no labour laws either since it is not a registered US ship.
I used to be a cruise agent, responsible for the worker on the ships and their immigration documents, communication with authorities, logistics, etc. It was a fancy position, but legit one of the worst jobs I have ever had, it was miserable. This industry is borderline modern-day slavery and gluteny, as well as extreme ecological hazard. It is quite an amazing experience to be in one of those ships, but at the same time it feels almost nightmarish.
@@Romme_ slave as the reason there’s no USA ships. They are tittle in sorta poor countries where the wage it’s really low. So they hire people from those countries
You're right. It would be better if people had no opportunities at all to work. I'm sure they would rather remain the poorest people on earth. Much better life
@@ctlt-pg4tm lmao, yeah much better to have people working on a ship serving rich people destroying the enviroment than having them not able to work on those ships, delusional af
One has to be really strong in the head to not break down doing the same job over and over again for long hours in tight spaces. Especially those in the lower decks, like the butchers, where there are no windows.
what do you mean $50, i remember when I worked on such cruise ships that the dishwashers got $400 a month, for 80 hours work per week thats $1.25 an hour
@@thanhavictus Except it's not. Countries all have different costs of living. If you watch someone like WanderlustAlley, there's a video where she interacts with crew from other countries and they say the salary is still several times higher than working in their own country. It's not mistreatment to not pay a non-American the American minimum wage. That doesn't even make sense.
I used to work a assistant waiter on one of these. What they don’t tell you is that the crew gets the most disgusting food possible so much so, that after the dinner is over and the guests leave we then use to collect untouched meals from guests in order to eat something normal for change, because crew dining are has to feed over 84 nationalities that work there and of course there is no system one taste fits all. Also, the reason why they are in advance as far as cheap labor goes is directly connected due to the fact that it is not registered under the USA flag so therefore they don’t have to pay regular salaries and we as a crew therefore never had a day off unless you achieve some miracle and get named worker (slave) of the week and that js your prize. They said your contract lasts for 4 months without a day off, that is false, unless you are captain or some high rank worker the length of the contract last from 6 to 8 months non stop. You eat shit food if you are not connected with the chef or if you don’t have someone to bring you left overs, you work for 6-8 months and you get month and a half to be home, and you are non stop tired. The reason why they have workers in the first place is because all of them almost come from poorest countries like balkan, afrika, India, Philippines, Indonesia etc. and their only income comes from the ship so if they don’t oblige they will get fired and believe me, they have done a lot that they didn’t have to do. Also, many of the workers can’t be hired to be the “face of the company” because they are too dark skinned to be in front of the guests but they of course don’t tell them that when they are hiring, they just say “the only position available is in the galley, take it or leave it”. There is a lot more that I could write this is just the tip of the iceberg, luckily I don’t do it anymore i have found a way to earn a lot more on the land compared to 1200$ that i as an assistant waiter was making there. It’s good to know that next time you leave a tip to someone, just remember there are a lot of people back there that quite literally don’t get to see the light of the day for 6 months due to combination of tiredness and bad shifts, and those people are the ones who should be awarded the most.
There is also no such thing as “retirement plan” that they have mentioned, again maybe there is for high ranking officers but regular crew there isn’t any. Let me also add that while the crew is not working they are located in rooms that are just big enough to enter and go to bed, which again is shared and made for two people so no privacy there. The real reason why many of the crew starts to work on cruise ship to begin with - at least from my experience - is to get a chance to sail in Usa or Canada so they could run towards better opportunities on land because no one can get Visa from those countries unless they are really, really lucky. Once the ship sails into the port, most of them gets a clearing that they get go out and that is their only chance of making it in life.

I work at a restaurant as a chef and our head chef has been on one of those during his early career years. I love to listen to his stories from the ship, it is fascinating that they produced so much in very limited spaces. And cruise ship kitchen staff work 14 hour days... not 10-12
@@gwappo4852 Our waiter explained that each cruise he has a different shift. They all work dinner, but he either works lunch or breakfast, but not both.
7 day cruise, 7500 passengers, average cost of $1500(you have to factor in balconies, suites, variable pricing) is $11,250,000 in gross revenue for rooms. Now take into account royal Caribbean says customers spend roughly $100 per day as well. That’s another 5mil right there. If they’re spending 7-8mil per cruise to operate, they’re still making 5-6mil per cruise easily after any taxes and port fees easily. I’m strongly believe I’m underestimating how much net profit they’re making. I’m sure it’s much more
@@purpjones1033if we assume the math there is roughly accurate it would only be 4 years to recoup the initial cost of the ship. it’ll run for far longer than that (20+ years) based on all that, you’d profit something like $4 billion over a conservative 20 year lifespan for the ship

Much respect to all the workers. I am sure they are all overworked and underpaid. Regardless, the workers are very kind and always smile while they work hard to provide to their families abroad. So many moving parts and it’s wild how massive these ships have gotten to handle so many guests.
Incredible that this comment has lasted an entire month without telling a temporarily embarrassed millionaire telling you off for implying that people are underpaid
You want wages to go up then so do costs of cruise and food. Cue McDonald's. Good luck getting a value meal for less than 10 bucks now that thanks to all you whiny complainers. Nobody is forcing them to work there
Even though the workers are overworked, underpaid, and have low working conditions, I appreciate their hardwork that sails thousands of passengers across the sea smoothly.
I have the most upmost respect for the cruise staff and crew. They do an incredible job making sure your voyage is seamless. All that goes on behind the scene simply mesmerizes me. I am definitely Royal Loyal.
And they get paid nearly nothing. They work months straight at a time before going back home. The passenger gratuity help pays for their salary. But pretty much they're living on the boat for free with room and board.
I very much like that while these were made into independent videos a while back, when you compiled them, you changed the order of footage, used new stuff we hadn't seen before, and made a new voiceover, instead of just stringing the videos like most channels do. We like to see that extra effort, makes the video very entertaining.
I recognized so many of the lines, and audio clips, and some of the video footage, but I agree with this- even hearing them again wasn't grating because the new video had so much new stuff.
My brother worked on a cruise ship and he said if a guest made a complaint about a staff they were gone. No questions asked. They get rid of you for the slightest infraction sometimes.
I tested positive when I went on a Royal Caribean cruise quite a few months ago. The room service was great, I got my own room, and nurses came twice a day to check up on me. They were very sweet. I got complimentary WIFI, too. We were also refunded for the 3 days I had to be in quarantine.
the ship itself is an engineering wonder, and the management of resources is mind blowing. But all i can think of is how they should pay their people more and give them vacation days.
Same here. Engineering marvels, sailing under flags of convenience so they can have the cheapest possible crew expense. IDK, my overall impression of these monsters is, "Wow.... (pause) YUCK!". I mean, why even build a ship? Why not just build another hotel in Vegas?
@@shaggybreeks There are many good answers to that question e.g., you cannot move a hotel or restaurant, but you can send a cruise-hotel with multiple restaurants all around the world. Cruise-ships are bigger than most hotels and restaurants on land and offer more products, services, amenities, options, and excursions than the ones on land. There are many more categories of guest-room on a large modern cruise-ship than there are in any hotel. E.g., a hotel tends to be in one category or another and every room is priced accordingly, but a cruise-ship allows luxury-classes, mid-range classes, and low-price categories all in one moving hotel-island.
World’s biggest cruise ship ‘Wonder of the Seas', 362m long, 230,000 tons, launched on 20 August 2021 at St Nazaire, France.

i remember when i was like 12 i went into the liberty of the seas with my family , great experience and i was overwhelmed by the scale of everything. now royal caribbean cruise ships have gotten way more bigger and complex and now i'm more amazed by the whole magic going inside the ship to keep the equation running.
The wildest part is that I was ON that cruise where 50 people tested positive, and we never heard a peep about it until we had gotten off the ship after the week was over.
It is a weird experience. To almost be treated as royalty by people that are skimping by on less than minimum wage. I didn't like the experience to be honest. I didn't have the right level of greed I think. I am too humble. 😕
@@fitybux4664 thats why they get tips, theres around 4000 people on these large ships and most give tips that are split between everyone plus you can always give more. I always give extra generous tips when I go and leave notes and a great review to help them out.
I went on Disney Cruise Lines and thought seven restaurants was a lot, hearing Royal Caribbean putting twenty-three restaurants on one ship is mind-blowing.
I had the pleasure of going on the harmony of the seas ship for a week and I have to say that they are incredible, however it becomes very clear who is what, what I mean is that the people with higher class tickets act a lot different to the more normal middle class people and I saw multiple people being very mean to the workers who clearly worked extremely hard every day. Either way it was worth the money but like one of the employees funnily enough said “money money money, it’s so funny, in a rich man’s world”
The people on highest class or the deck ain't the richest, although they think and feel they are and try to show off they are,.. the richest have their own yatch. They are on another level and don't prefer cruise ships with public on board lol
I think that the sheer size and separate sections and amenities for suites mean that you would not even see many of the guests that are paying for premium classes of guestrooms. I can also say from experience that there are badly behaved average people and some friendly and generous wealthy ones. Not least of all because most high-income households nowadays earned their way, rather than inherited it. You would not even know how wealthy many people are. Or how poor a lot of flamboyant folks are.
I used to work on one of these. I feel bad for some of the crew who work 10-14 hr shifts making as little as $600/Week with no days off 😌. These companies get away with the US Laws by registering their vessels in Bahamas, Panama, Liberia etc..
@@Sean-ds3br Yep, their pay seems abysmal by American standards but is generally quite good compared to their home countries. They also don’t spend much while on the ship, allowing them to save a lot of the money instead of spending it on things like rent and other bills. However the hours are very long and it’s very tiring.
As a baker, watching pastry and bread being done in the space they have is not nothing new, but doing it at sea is quite extraordinairy... I'd actually like to do a year on that ship, see what I can learn and just experience how it all just functions and take those ideas back home.

Except the ship is actually flagged in the Bahamas. The point is still relevant. An US registered ship is much more expensive. There is currently only one major cruise ship sailing under a US Flag, The Pride of America, owned by NCL. It cruises the Hawaiian islands and is not a cheap cruise. However, to sail inter island in Hawaii with a foreign flagged vessel would require a voyage to a foreign port on every cruise. This would take several days and thousands of miles of useless travel. So the Hawaiian market is the one place that it pays to have one, and only one, US flagged cruise ship.
My first cruise when I was 19 was the Pacific Jewel that leaves from Sydney Australia. They released the ships waste coming into Lifou and so much of the filthy water washed up on the beach and smelled horrific. I felt really sorry for the inhabitants.
I've just been on Liberty of the Seas for a 4-day cruise. Despite some hiccups, it was a dream. The staff always friendly and polite. The food exceptional. And Coco Cay incredible. Looking forward for the Wonder of The Seas, as soon as we are financially recovered.
Been on two cruises one 4 day, one 7. Navigator of the seas, and Norwegian encore, both great ships Hope for my next to go on a oasis class ship by royal
20k USD is enough to feed entire families in some countries for a year. How ignorant of Americans to presume that they're underpaid based on American standards.
@@Tylorgng. Not at all... The only times we saw crowds were on the entrance of the night shows at the theaters. Even there, the lines were fast, no hassle. At the fancy restaurants, yes - people at the door waiting, but not crowded. At the self-service restaurants, a lot of people, but magically, always tables available, and quick lines for the food. I suspect that during all these years they figured it out how to manage 4-6 thousand people on a boat.
If you go on a cruise please consider giving a tip to those people who give you a great experience. The average worker on ship make less than 5$ an hour and we send most monies back home to family supporting not only wife and kid. but mother, father, Grandmom. It is very hard not seeing our family most of the year. But it is all worth it seeing your family make great memory for life. Thank you
I've been on over 20 cruises and it never ceases to amaze me how well organized each ship is to make it work. But we prefer smaller ships that have maybe 3000 passengers.
How does it feel to be in the top 0.01% of environmental polluters because of your cruise ship usage? That's insane to go on that many floating environmental disasters.
@@CRneu I feel wonderful. How does it feel to be in the top 0.01% of sanctimonious whiny grouches? I just came back from my 24th cruise and the 25th (to Antarctica) is coming up in March. #26 is booked for May. I really don't care what people like you think. Your opinion is truly irrelevant.
The ginormous amount of food x 6,000 passengers plus a couple hundred staff x 3 meals + snacks x 7 days cruise x the number of cruise ships globally x how many weeks per cruise season = mindblowing. Now add in the food production rates being diminished by global drought. At some point, prices are going to rise rapidly, as well as competition for food supplies.
Just let it sink in, the main dining hall serve 6000 people everyday. I would be very interested in understand how the waiters manage that amount of table on 3 decks, it must be crazy
I've worked on one years ago, it's not too bad, I was just washing dishes and stocking. The employee rooms are a little cramped, mine got really cold from the AC. I kept getting lost the first couple of days lol...

@@thegamingwolf5612 not too bad, I'm planning on going back on a ship next year once positions open up, it's hard to get a job on the ship. But yeah you get to see a lot of Kool places, only thing I didn't like was the 10 hour shifts..🙄. Free room and food is nice 👍
The fact that they only 9 hours to load everything and clean is insane. I can only trust form my own experience that being that busy makes time go by super fast
I actually went on a tour of the symphony of the seas offered by royal Caribbean where we could visit crew only areas of the ship, such as the kitchens, laundry rooms and even the bridge, and we learned how the ship operated and saw all of this, and it was amazing.
Few years ago, I was introduced to a ship crew in a party. I asked him " Don't you miss the normal world? Where is your life, when your wife is alone in bed and children are growing without their dads?" His response was bold and vivid. " I love ocean. I feel totally free from your so called world being myself. I work and enjoy, don't pay any notice to your so called world of racism, political or religious hatreds. On the ocean it became a military rule and we all abide by it. At the end of my shift I thank the God that I am free from garbage I had to deal everyday on land."
Thank you IB for this awesome documentary! In today age we often forget that these free documentaries are made by harf working people which should be payed properly
It's a load of bs. They said it costs 1 MiLlIOn Dollars to run a day, yet tell us there are only 2000 rooms. When there needs to be 10 000 rooms all sold to break even on that million a day. Not even talking about profit. They are just making up whatever sounds good.
I've been on the Anthem of the Seas to Bermuda, San Juan, St Maarten, and Labadee (Haiti) from Cape Liberty in Bayonne, NJ. I enjoyed sailing out of Cape Liberty because that means you get wonderful views of surrounding harbor and skyline. Seeing the skyline disappear as well as seeing it again when you return is just magical. Respect to Mazz! I think she made a great decision. She gets a free room to herself on board, travels the world, is probably saving a lot of cash, and stars in a real show for big crowds in a state-of-the-art theater. It's also a stepping point towards possibly doing West End, Vegas, or Broadway. And most importantly, she's happy doing this. It's part of your mental wellbeing to enjoy what you do. Chase your dreams Mazz.
Perhaps his idea is to enjoy a 5 star meal on the balcony with the wife and simply relax seeing the waves. The common areas are overcrowded cesspool anyways.
I love to cruise but haven’t done so since the Covid lockdown. ..one day I will cruise again just not anytime soon. Two of my favorite Christine’s in Royal Caribbean and the other is Norwegian Cruise lines... my most favorite cruise was last minute a Norwegian 14-night cruise for $1,400… most excellent! .. and I love the crew because without them my cruise would be miserable.
Being also a crew member, not on this ship, have to give a HUGE RESPECT for all of the hotel staff and captain’s team. But one thing is making me LOL, when someone from entertainers says how difficult for them to do their job. GUYS DONT BE RIDICULOUS! If it’s that much difficult, here are always needs of restaurant and house keeping, galley, recycling room staff.
I-95 is a reference to the Interstate stretching from the Canadian border at Maine to Miami, FL. An important link across the Eastern Seaboard, like how this is an important link to keep the ship going. So it's fitting that this cruise begins in Miami which is the southern end of I-95. When it comes to cruise ships, we have the 만경봉 (Mangyeongbong) 92. Built in 1992 (hence 92) using funds from the Chongryon (Koreans affiliated with the DPRK in Japan), it was once used to transport cargo as well as the Chongryon themselves between Japan and the DPRK. But after it was banned from Japanese waters in 2006, it became a cruise ship for Chinese tourists from Rason to Mount Kumgang. It was last used in 2018 to carry a 140-person strong orchestra to Mukho in the south for the 2018 Winter Olympics
And we call it other things in other countries. For example, in Australia, the equivalent highway is called the M1- so, on Australian based ships, we say “down off the M1”
When you thought your 10-12hrs a day, 5 days a week hustle was a real struggle then you come across this video saying that they work at least 14hrs a day *_without_* a day off for 4-12 months at a time.. 🤯
I kept wanting to change to something else but every time something more interesting to learn came uop so I watched the whole video, great work ! I have never been on a cruise ship now I definitely would like to go on one at least once in my lifetime. I have a new appreciation for all of the efforts it takes to run one of these liners.
I have been on a lot of Royal Caribbean cruises & my wife with her friends on a hell of a lot more cruises. These men & women have it down to a fine science. So do many of the other top of the line cruise ship lines. They have my complete respect for doing a very hard job and doing it excellent. PJ
I worked before on a cruise ship, and we worked a minimum of 12 hours a day, no off.. most of the time split shifts. feeding 6000++ guests so I decided to go in a cargo ship or a tanker.. feeding 15 to 20 crew per day. a little more salary and less work, and the most I like most about it are I'm the boss in my kitchen. and no one can give me orders except the captain. 😉
If it cost $1M to maintain then I assume it will be generating $1M+ a day. Else, why would it cruise in the first place for free? The cruise ship is built for business and no businesses run to loss at any cost.
You would have to fill 2,500 of the 2700 rooms with four guests in each room each paying $100 to break even at 1 million. There are some restaurants and features that require extra fees and activities that combined with the casino and Mall must be where the cruise ship makes their profit
"and that's why its workers need to be effecient" let me translate: "will be underpaid and overworked to the max, mostly likely hired from countries with no workers rights or minimum wage"
@@maxmustermann-zx9yq Nobody puts a gun to their head and makes them work there. I'm betting these people likely don't have a ton of opportunities for work so the ship is a great option. I couldn't even guess how many applications they likely get from people looking to work on the ship even at the current pay. However, if they decided to up the pay, interest in those jobs would only increase and just make it harder for these people to secure the job due to even more applicants and even further out foreigner applicants.
I know I'm commenting on an older video but I've noticed a discrepancy between what the video says about no vacation days and what I found in idle conversation and observation onboard the Wonder of the Seas. While you can't obviously go where you want on a day off crew members do get shore leave and onboard time off (with some restrictions as you see performers have privileges) one tidbit told to me by a photographer is often new things like upcoming menu items and experiences are often given a trial run on crew before being given the go ahead for passengers so a cruise worker does get some benefits from the position. That said potentially you get better treatment if you are passenger facing and being totally below decks has you screwed.
Those hours are heinous, can't believe these poor souls get so disadvantaged by these poor labor practices. Gonna tip double next time I go on my next $80 10 night cruise.
Remember to tip me here in West Africa, Ghana 🇬🇭 .After college,no work was coming as unemployment is high here,so I quickly venture in agriculture and realized it a good business.Kindly assist me with a capital to a truck to convey my fruits from the distant farms to our communities and neighboring towns.
It's crazy how so much goes into operating this whole thing, I'm surprised how little the amount of people are required. And then they're planning on putting this in the sky? Crazy! I'm excited.

@@troycalvin2602 it was great! Would reccomend. Only downside is that it was pretty crowded but you cant avoid that on any of the new state of the art ships
I went on this cruise. Absolutely hated it. I don't understand how anyone enjoys these huge cruises. And the locations you go to are mainly blocked off from the rest of the country (besides Mexico, that place was fun)
I thought the engineering of the cruise ship itself was a marvel turns out it's the ship's crew. After watching this I've got a newfound respect for these hard workers 🔥
That fuel consumption really isn’t that bad considering how many folks and how much equipment are being moved that distance, unless there was an error in your conversion to Ford exploder’s
600 transcontinental SUV trips PER DAY though; it's not like 600 SUVs driving the cruise route alongside the ship, which would indeed be pretty impressively efficient
I went on this cruise twice, once on a trip through Europe and second on a trip through the Caribbean, this is prob the best royal Caribbean ship so far, I've been on others like navigator of the seas but non is as good as symphony
To say a $100 a day is a true understatement, that’s a bare bones package, we all know it legit costs about ten times that to actually enjoy the experience
I’ve gone on a few cruises. Despite all the fun and entertainment, I recall one crew member who took care of the luggage crouching in the hallway. He had the most despondent face and demeanor and it made me sad. He must have been so far from home, doing a thankless job, and watching as the wealthy of the world were carefree.
I was on Symphony of the Seas for thanksgiving break and when I was eating I saw this brown liquid in the ocean right next to the cruise. More kept appearing about like every 5 seconds. I suspected it was waste. I then asked a waiter and he said it was food waste. This video said they don't put anything into the ocean but I guess that's wrong.
Scale is something so overwhelmingly astounding for human beings. Like the Sun or a prehistoric whale, thinking about the sheer size of the ship just triggers something in me.
I worked on a cruise ship in housekeeping department. During embarkation is a nightmare. 20 cabins for 4 hours and it needs to be ready and after that you need to meet the passengers and attend all emergency drills. Some days I can’t even hear my alarm because of tiredness. 12 hours a day no day off for 9 months.
The logistics involved in having everything you need on-ship that every customer and crew member could possibly need is as impressive as anything else
The amount of waste it produces could probably feed, and house all of the Ukrainian refugees.

Except it's not. Countries all have different costs of living. If you watch someone like WanderlustAlley, there's a video where she interacts with crew from other countries and they say the salary is still several times higher than working in their own country. It's not mistreatment to not pay a non-American the American minimum wage. That doesn't even make sense.
I used to work a assistant waiter on one of these. What they don’t tell you is that the crew gets the most disgusting food possible so much so, that after the dinner is over and the guests leave we then use to collect untouched meals from guests in order to eat something normal for change, because crew dining are has to feed over 84 nationalities that work there and of course there is no system one taste fits all.
Also, the reason why they are in advance as far as cheap labor goes is directly connected due to the fact that it is not registered under the USA flag so therefore they don’t have to pay regular salaries and we as a crew therefore never had a day off unless you achieve some miracle and get named worker (slave) of the week and that js your prize. They said your contract lasts for 4 months without a day off, that is false, unless you are captain or some high rank worker the length of the contract last from 6 to 8 months non stop. You eat shit food if you are not connected with the chef or if you don’t have someone to bring you left overs, you work for 6-8 months and you get month and a half to be home, and you are non stop tired. The reason why they have workers in the first place is because all of them almost come from poorest countries like balkan, afrika, India, Philippines, Indonesia etc. and their only income comes from the ship so if they don’t oblige they will get fired and believe me, they have done a lot that they didn’t have to do. Also, many of the workers can’t be hired to be the “face of the company” because they are too dark skinned to be in front of the guests but they of course don’t tell them that when they are hiring, they just say “the only position available is in the galley, take it or leave it”. There is a lot more that I could write this is just the tip of the iceberg, luckily I don’t do it anymore i have found a way to earn a lot more on the land compared to 1200$ that i as an assistant waiter was making there. It’s good to know that next time you leave a tip to someone, just remember there are a lot of people back there that quite literally don’t get to see the light of the day for 6 months due to combination of tiredness and bad shifts, and those people are the ones who should be awarded the most.
There is also no such thing as “retirement plan” that they have mentioned, again maybe there is for high ranking officers but regular crew there isn’t any. Let me also add that while the crew is not working they are located in rooms that are just big enough to enter and go to bed, which again is shared and made for two people so no privacy there. The real reason why many of the crew starts to work on cruise ship to begin with - at least from my experience - is to get a chance to sail in Usa or Canada so they could run towards better opportunities on land because no one can get Visa from those countries unless they are really, really lucky. Once the ship sails into the port, most of them gets a clearing that they get go out and that is their only chance of making it in life.
Sounds like shit.

I work at a restaurant as a chef and our head chef has been on one of those during his early career years. I love to listen to his stories from the ship, it is fascinating that they produced so much in very limited spaces. And cruise ship kitchen staff work 14 hour days... not 10-12
The kitchens run 14 hours, not the staff. The staff usually works 2 meals a day and has a 3rd off.
how much did they get paid? wow
Wait do they have Shifts or just 1 person per position?

7 day cruise, 7500 passengers, average cost of $1500(you have to factor in balconies, suites, variable pricing) is $11,250,000 in gross revenue for rooms. Now take into account royal Caribbean says customers spend roughly $100 per day as well. That’s another 5mil right there.
If they’re spending 7-8mil per cruise to operate, they’re still making 5-6mil per cruise easily after any taxes and port fees easily. I’m strongly believe I’m underestimating how much net profit they’re making. I’m sure it’s much more
They make more money with the premium. Premium passenger spends roughly around $100k per week.
This ship cost 1.2 billion to build so they'll be in the red for years before it's truly profit
@@purpjones1033if we assume the math there is roughly accurate it would only be 4 years to recoup the initial cost of the ship. it’ll run for far longer than that (20+ years)
based on all that, you’d profit something like $4 billion over a conservative 20 year lifespan for the ship

the ship itself is an engineering wonder, and the management of resources is mind blowing. But all i can think of is how they should pay their people more and give them vacation days.
Same here. Engineering marvels, sailing under flags of convenience so they can have the cheapest possible crew expense. IDK, my overall impression of these monsters is, "Wow.... (pause) YUCK!". I mean, why even build a ship? Why not just build another hotel in Vegas?
@@shaggybreeks There are many good answers to that question e.g., you cannot move a hotel or restaurant, but you can send a cruise-hotel with multiple restaurants all around the world. Cruise-ships are bigger than most hotels and restaurants on land and offer more products, services, amenities, options, and excursions than the ones on land. There are many more categories of guest-room on a large modern cruise-ship than there are in any hotel. E.g., a hotel tends to be in one category or another and every room is priced accordingly, but a cruise-ship allows luxury-classes, mid-range classes, and low-price categories all in one moving hotel-island.
Pay them more for what? Just because?
And what... make it unaffordable for most of us?

I think that the sheer size and separate sections and amenities for suites mean that you would not even see many of the guests that are paying for premium classes of guestrooms. I can also say from experience that there are badly behaved average people and some friendly and generous wealthy ones. Not least of all because most high-income households nowadays earned their way, rather than inherited it. You would not even know how wealthy many people are. Or how poor a lot of flamboyant folks are.

Except the ship is actually flagged in the Bahamas. The point is still relevant. An US registered ship is much more expensive. There is currently only one major cruise ship sailing under a US Flag, The Pride of America, owned by NCL. It cruises the Hawaiian islands and is not a cheap cruise. However, to sail inter island in Hawaii with a foreign flagged vessel would require a voyage to a foreign port on every cruise. This would take several days and thousands of miles of useless travel. So the Hawaiian market is the one place that it pays to have one, and only one, US flagged cruise ship.

Where is your life, when your wife is alone in bed and children are growing without their dads?" His response was bold and vivid. " I love ocean. I feel totally free from your so called world being myself. I work and enjoy, don't pay any notice to your so called world of racism, political or religious hatreds. On the ocean it became a military rule and we all abide by it. At the end of my shift I thank the God that I am free from garbage I had to deal everyday on land."

I-95 is a reference to the Interstate stretching from the Canadian border at Maine to Miami, FL. An important link across the Eastern Seaboard, like how this is an important link to keep the ship going. So it's fitting that this cruise begins in Miami which is the southern end of I-95.
When it comes to cruise ships, we have the 만경봉 (Mangyeongbong) 92. Built in 1992 (hence 92) using funds from the Chongryon (Koreans affiliated with the DPRK in Japan), it was once used to transport cargo as well as the Chongryon themselves between Japan and the DPRK. But after it was banned from Japanese waters in 2006, it became a cruise ship for Chinese tourists from Rason to Mount Kumgang. It was last used in 2018 to carry a 140-person strong orchestra to Mukho in the south for the 2018 Winter Olympics
We live not far from I-95.
Incorrect. I-95 is a reference to a US immigration form.
@@SuperCavaliersfan No, it's the ship's highway, like I-95 in the US.
And we call it other things in other countries. For example, in Australia, the equivalent highway is called the M1- so, on Australian based ships, we say “down off the M1”

If it cost $1M to maintain then I assume it will be generating $1M+ a day. Else, why would it cruise in the first place for free? The cruise ship is built for business and no businesses run to loss at any cost.
A cruise ship probably brings in $5M+ each day
You would have to fill 2,500 of the 2700 rooms with four guests in each room each paying $100 to break even at 1 million. There are some restaurants and features that require extra fees and activities that combined with the casino and Mall must be where the cruise ship makes their profit

However, if they decided to up the pay, interest in those jobs would only increase and just make it harder for these people to secure the job due to even more applicants and even further out foreigner applicants.
Mazz's aerial work is spectacular!
Agreed :)
Plus she's a QT. 👀👀
i am glad they are recycling, of everything, wish more ships did some more. this is a improvement.
They haven't for the last 100 years of shipping. There are laws but some don't follow them. It's hard.
I know I'm commenting on an older video but I've noticed a discrepancy between what the video says about no vacation days and what I found in idle conversation and observation onboard the Wonder of the Seas. While you can't obviously go where you want on a day off crew members do get shore leave and onboard time off (with some restrictions as you see performers have privileges) one tidbit told to me by a photographer is often new things like upcoming menu items and experiences are often given a trial run on crew before being given the go ahead for passengers so a cruise worker does get some benefits from the position. That said potentially you get better treatment if you are passenger facing and being totally below decks has you screwed.
imagine spending $1000 a person to get quarantined for a flu
its like taking a vacation with the same folks you wait in line with while trying to escape wallmart's check out lanes.
literally, cruises are sooo lame
I'm honestly shocked it doesn't cost more than that
Those hours are heinous, can't believe these poor souls get so disadvantaged by these poor labor practices. Gonna tip double next time I go on my next $80 10 night cruise.
Remember to tip me here in West Africa, Ghana 🇬🇭 .After college,no work was coming as unemployment is high here,so I quickly venture in agriculture and realized it a good business.Kindly assist me with a capital to a truck to convey my fruits from the distant farms to our communities and neighboring towns.
This video was so informative, I love cruising, god bless those cruise workers who work those long hours
It's crazy how so much goes into operating this whole thing, I'm surprised how little the amount of people are required. And then they're planning on putting this in the sky? Crazy! I'm excited.
they have one cook per 6 persons bro
there is no plans for a sky cruise ship, that story was entirely fabricated by mainstream media mistaking an animation someone made for actual plans because they are ret*rded
2400?
putting it in the whatnow?
@@sickofit1574 He’s talking about some fake artist rendition of what a cruise ship “plane” would look like. Essentially a flying hotel. No one has any plans of actually making something like that seeing as it literally wouldn’t work.
So that's why RC cruises cost more than Carnival's. They're more impressive.
Really hope these workers are getting paid well and fed well for all of their hard work.
Better than onshore hotels or restaurants
Yep. They often make over double the average wages of their home country's.
Duh. If you aren't getting paid lavishly compared to a job in your home country, wtf would you do this shit?
@@John_Smith_86 if nobody does this shit , then when you board your next trip in cruise ship. Cook your own dish , serve your own water , load the food into the cruise yourself , steer the ship yourself , clean the toilets yourself , dump the waste yourself. Duh.....what a moron
@@maskedmarvel "... of their home countries" -- IOW, way below US and EU standards.
$1M a day is an amazing low figure for such a vast ship with 2200 crew?
The crew must be working for free??? Even for allowing for a rubbish wage of $20 an hour that's $350,000 just there. Add fuel, food, taxes, repairs, insurance, docking fees, medical staff, security costs, garbage processing, vessel repayments, interest, how is this ship even making a profit???
Sail this ship , a few weeks ago, indeed it is an amazing ship. Everything is good 100%.
Did anyone see the icebergs as a wallpaper of one of the computers of the bridge 😂😂
How these cruise ships run is totally beyond me. I'm actually spending all of this year living 'back to back' on cruise ships, and it really blows my mind every time I get onboard how efficient the whole operation is!
Amazing. I want to try cruising at least once in my life.
it’s horrible, don’t
@@TjCox1993lol
@@TjCox1993 it’s overrated
Sit in a hotel on the water? Nah.
Boarding this ship for a cruise next month! Super excited
How was it?
@@troycalvin2602 it was great! Would reccomend. Only downside is that it was pretty crowded but you cant avoid that on any of the new state of the art ships
As a person who is now an avid cruiser since 2020...WOW!♥
"Each chef works 10-12 hour days for four months with no time off" ....why are they saying this as if its some sort of triumph???
I went on this cruise. Absolutely hated it. I don't understand how anyone enjoys these huge cruises. And the locations you go to are mainly blocked off from the rest of the country (besides Mexico, that place was fun)
Try going to the Mediterranean cruises. You're not blocked off from the rest of the country. It's safe and fun.
I thought the engineering of the cruise ship itself was a marvel turns out it's the ship's crew.
After watching this I've got a newfound respect for these hard workers 🔥
So off topic, but the way the Driscoll’s boxes lined up at 8:24 to make full strawberries was very satisfying.
If you watch this and dont leave having mad respect for every single crew member... watch it again and again until you do
Amen~! PJ
That fuel consumption really isn’t that bad considering how many folks and how much equipment are being moved that distance, unless there was an error in your conversion to Ford exploder’s
600 transcontinental SUV trips PER DAY though; it's not like 600 SUVs driving the cruise route alongside the ship, which would indeed be pretty impressively efficient
I'm sure the collapsing marine life ecosystems are grateful!
@@drmalex87 Calm down treehugger. Industrial CO2 output is re-greening the planet. Your beef is with the Chinese fishing fleets.
I went on this cruise twice, once on a trip through Europe and second on a trip through the Caribbean, this is prob the best royal Caribbean ship so far, I've been on others like navigator of the seas but non is as good as symphony
I never realized just howcmuch went into running a ship especially a cruise ship, the scale is insane
Amazing how all this is put together..!
Im taking my first cruise after being skeptical for years…
To say a $100 a day is a true understatement, that’s a bare bones package, we all know it legit costs about ten times that to actually enjoy the experience
I’ve gone on a few cruises. Despite all the fun and entertainment, I recall one crew member who took care of the luggage crouching in the hallway. He had the most despondent face and demeanor and it made me sad. He must have been so far from home, doing a thankless job, and watching as the wealthy of the world were carefree.
I was on Symphony of the Seas for thanksgiving break and when I was eating I saw this brown liquid in the ocean right next to the cruise. More kept appearing about like every 5 seconds. I suspected it was waste. I then asked a waiter and he said it was food waste. This video said they don't put anything into the ocean but I guess that's wrong.
Yup, so long as you are in international waters, no one can regulate!
I'm sure the fish liked the free food.
Scale is something so overwhelmingly astounding for human beings. Like the Sun or a prehistoric whale, thinking about the sheer size of the ship just triggers something in me.
The scale of the pollution is literally breathtaking
Wow this looks really fun and exciting :D I've never been on a cruise before but maybe we'll go on one before we die lol.
I worked on a cruise ship in housekeeping department. During embarkation is a nightmare. 20 cabins for 4 hours and it needs to be ready and after that you need to meet the passengers and attend all emergency drills. Some days I can’t even hear my alarm because of tiredness. 12 hours a day no day off for 9 months.
Girl we share same stories here when I was working as a waiter in a 4-star hotel.
What was your salary?
Low key the idea of being on a cruise scares the heebie-jeebies out of me.
