  • Though crew quarters can be small, crowded, and dark, if you go about it the right way, you can definitely make it enjoyable.

      @CoffeeWithSean  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      D'nnys L correct. There is one per cabin but I don’t know how many cabins each one has. Maybe between 10-15

      Same here, I'm on POA Hawaii, so I'm looking forward to being the only one! I've worked in Afghanistan for 5 years so, I hope it's the same layout!

    Hola, sigues trabajando en los cruceros ? Que compañía? A propósito me gustan tus videos, veo que eres nuevo pero muy buena info!! Tienes referencias de Princess quiero portular ahi pero en el Restaurante ;)

    • @CoffeeWithSean
      @CoffeeWithSean  6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Hola. No, ya no trabajo en cruceros. Trabajé en barcos durante aproximadamente dos años en Broadcasting. Trabajé para Norwegian Cruise Line o NCL. Desafortunadamente, no conozco a nadie que trabaje para Princess. Sé que son una buena compañía, sin embargo. Buena suerte encontrando un barco! Es una experiencia divertida Creo que lo disfrutarás.

    Question: Can I eat/bring snacks inside my cabin? Like if I want to brings snack from back home. Btw these videos are awesome man. Thanks you! It's really informative. 😊

    • @mseanprice
      @mseanprice 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Kaleidoscope world Yea you can have snacks in there. There is even a crew store that sells certain food items too. There are certain thawing you can’t have in your cabin though. Usually milk products or fruit sometime. Perishables like that. But yes, I always had gatorades and chips in my cabin. And usually a few beers in my refrigerator haha

  • @syk7syk7syk7
    @syk7syk7syk7 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Each ship might be different, but in general, how warm/cold those cabins are? Air-conditioned, so pretty dry? I'm thinking about my room-wear and skincare. Also, have you ever heard or notice water problem, such as chemical too strong to wash hair daily etc? (Sorry, oh well, I'm a girl. ha.) Thanks!

    • @mseanprice
      @mseanprice 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Sunny Yoko the cabins are a fine temperature. But when packing, definitely bring pajamas for either hot or cold. I did have some nights it seemed more chilly so I wore more clothes to sleep sometimes. Also maybe bring a small blanket. Or purchase a small blanket if you feel it’s cold in your cabin after you arrive. Your ship will be in ports with stores like Walmart so you can always find things you need later or something you forgot.
      I didn’t think the water was too bad. But yes there are chemicals in there. I had long hair while on the ships so I just didn’t wash my hair all the time. I have heard of girls with blonde hair having their hair start to turn green. So some people even would purchase bottled water and use that to wash their hair. Sometime your skin can get a little dry from the water and the recycled air, so lotion isn’t a bad idea. And you can tell it’s recycle air, but it’s not that bad. Sometimes you wake up with dry eyes or dry mouth. I slept with a water bottle next to me so if I ever needed water it was there.
      It’s not that bad a situation but it is definitely a little different that being on land. You will adjust to it really quickly. There’s nothing so bad that I feel like I need to warn you of. Except the rooms are super duper small.
      Good luck!

    Thanks for information man ,so my question is if i would like to take my wife to stay with me at the ship is that possible? even I'm just a crew on board ??

    • @CoffeeWithSean
      @CoffeeWithSean  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Otmane Boukha yes you are allowed to bring family. And they’ll get a discount. You will communicate with Human Resources or the personnel department to work all that out. Sometimes you guest can even stay with you in your cabin. But if you have other roommates, they could even allow you to stay in your wife’s guest cabin. You have to just be actively communicating with the human resource department to make sure you are doing all you need to do

    Hey, Sean... One question. Is there a safebox, TV and/or mini freezer in the cabins?

  • @TSShay
    @TSShay 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you know how many are in a cabin for Youth Counselors? And this way sound like a weird question, but do all roommates move in at the same time, or could one person already be settled in and partway through their contract when it's time for you to move in?

    • @mseanprice
      @mseanprice 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Taylor S. On my ships full time youth staff had 2 in a room. Seasonal youth staff had 3 in a room. And everyone’s contracts start and end at different times so it’s very unlikely you would move in the same day as your roommate. But it’s better that way because you will probably have the top bunk for a while, and then when your roommate leaves you get the bottom which is the way better bunk!

    • @TSShay
      @TSShay 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sean Price Thanks for the info! I'm really thinking about applying for a Youth Staff position but it would have to be seasonal, good to know it'll be 3 to a room if I'm with NCL.

    how about the 3rd engineer cabin is it shared

    • @CoffeeWithSean
      @CoffeeWithSean  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I want to guess that any "engineer" gets there own cabin, however, because there are so many people once you get to that level, I wouldn't be surprised if a 3rd engineer shared a cabin with someone

  • @alexogilvie4308
    @alexogilvie4308 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    What determined your roommate? Gender? Department? Would being female and in Engineering likly to mean that I would share with a person from another department?

    • @mseanprice
      @mseanprice 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Alex Ogilvie yes. You are put in with someone of you same sex in your same department. There is a small chance you would be with someone in a different department if there just wasn’t another person for you to room with in yours. But sometimes you luck out and if there is no one in your department at that time, you may get your own cabin for a bit. That’s the dream haha

    Hi sean
    I have applied for royal carreabian and i had a interview by whatsapp with human resources,afer they send me that i paased for interview and i succeed and they send me a offer letter to sigh it but they said that i have to pay usd$400 for all documents they will send it to me ! Is that normal ?

    • @CoffeeWithSean
      @CoffeeWithSean  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Otmane Boukha you shouldn’t have to pay before they send you the documents. I had to pay for my own medical stuff and then I was reimbursed when I got on the ship.

      To me. How did you apply for

    • @CoffeeWithSean
      @CoffeeWithSean  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      All my roommates were from a different country than me. But because my department was so small (only 2 people) my roommate was never my work partner. But if you work in a larger department, like youth staff or the restaurant department, you will most likely have a roommate who you also work with.
