- Hi! I'm Michelle!
I'm a cruise ship crew member with some insight into what that secret world is like! Ever thought of working on one? I'm here for any questions you may have.
This vid deals with friend-SHIPS, relation-SHIPS, love, prostitution etc as they occur on a ship ;)
Everything is my opinion and my opinion only.

I met my wife while working on a cruise ship. I worked in the theater and she worked with the kids. One of the best times of my life.
Wow god bless you both
I met my significant other while working on a cruise ship back in 2014... I can thank my job for pairing me with the right guy!
Alana you can thank that ship for you not being a washed up cat lady for sure.....wait are you still with him? #AnotherWALLHitCatLady
So he must be one of the hot ones
Crew always looking for rich guests thats wat the right guy means im sure
I love how honest this girl is
You seem so sensible and grounded. I'll bet you are very efficient at whatever your job is. You know the "dos" and "don'ts" of your status aboard and never tip your hand as to your personal opinion or behavior. It's all good information and shows that if you want to cruise on the "Love Boat", you'd best buy a ticket and be a guest. Love your videos!
I worked for Carnival Cruise Lines in the casino dept. for 3 years and sleeping with guests definitely went on regularly! My friend got busted by security once so the head of security called my casino manager and asked him if he wanted him fired! Luckily for him, the casino manager liked him enough to keep him on board!
Tim "like him" like him or just "he's a good person" like him??😂😂
This is the question in the back of my mind. Why is it against two mature adults to see each other, no matter if they work or a guest?
If I found a woman on a cruise and things got to that point. If she gets fired. I'll walk off the cruise with her and write a bad report.
I'm a rebel. To me rules are meant to be broken. I don't believe in casual sex, or love. But I do believe in commitment.
Congrats on finding someone Michelle, glad to hear that for you both. Are you both still working on ships or do you both plan on continuing to work on ships, now your in a relationship?? If yes, do you both plan on working on the same ship??
Great video.....I love your personality, energy & sense of humor, you should definitely be a spokes person for a cruise line(if your not already).
Haha, thanks Bill! I am not a spokesperson, I merely speak my experiences. Some people ask for the 'truth' despite what I say, but this all is MY truth.
We've been together since 2010 where we met, of course, working on a ship. In 2011, I quit working on ships (while he still did) for 5 years. I then went back in 2016 and we worked one contract together on the same ship. He has now made the switch to a new cruise line and whether I will follow and return again with another company remains to be seen ;) To quote Avril, "why ya gotta go and make things so complicated?" RIGHT!?
Hey, Michelle, thanks for the video, bringing back great memories of my ship life :)) I did one contract with P&O Australia off Sydney in 2006 and one with Royal Caribbean off Miami in 2014. Ship life was some of the best time I've had in my whole life. The crew was always so nice and supportive to one-another, I'll never forget that !! One rarely finds onland the soul-to-soul supportiveness I had on ships from the crew.
My roomie was part of the 30% and it finally got to the point where I said the hell with it and went to bed even when they were doing it. They didn't even care. I
Just happened to bump into your channel and loving these videos haha. I just did a contract on a P&O ship for 6 months and I feel like I could write a book based on that experience alone. A ton of drama - alcohol, friendships, arguments, sleeping around, very long working hours, mental breakdowns, you name it - it's like big brother only WORSE! I've made some life long friends that's for sure and it's been amazing for my social life; but I don't know if I can say the same for my mental health in some situations. The amount of breakdowns I had during that 6 months was very unhealthy but I managed to power through. In my personal experience, I definitely don't trust anybody in a relationship on ships and I wouldn't be involved in one myself after witnessing certain things. Thanks for the video! If anyone reading this wants to shoot me a message or ask any questions feel free; more than happy to tell some stories! :D
AlexRider hey.... I recently got offered a job as a chef at carnival cruises... I read your comment and it said that the breakdowns are not worth it... I do suffer from anxiety sometimes and that’s the one of the main things stopping me from accepting the offer and other variables as well like being away from my family and friends. Besides my anxiety I am surprisingly very social and love to travel... is all the mental breakdowns worth it? Should I take a chance?
Please tell me more! I'm worried about my mental health being potentially jeopardised as I can sometimes overreact and blow up if I don't get enough sleep haha!
Hey Michelle!
I've been thinking about applying as a cruise photographer/videographer and I was already getting super excited at the prospect, but now that I've watched through your videos I'm sure I've found my calling. I love that you haven't glamorized the life and made it look fancier than it is and that you're being honest with us about expectations and rules. It's real and that is what I needed to see. So, it's perfect, and you've convinced me to nail this job application no matter what! So Thank You for putting these out there.
And hey, if I do get a gig and we happen to be on the same ship, we should collaborate on a video. Video is one of my main specialties and I can do some really good looking stuff with it. (PS: Considering some of the comments on here, I should clarify that I'm not hitting on you.... I actually kiss boys... but you seem cool, so we should collab).
Go for videographer :) A lot more creative freedom filming all the bits with the cruise director- you might even create something that goes viral on fb like a friend did: facebook.com/CelebrityCruises/videos/10154222850815879/?hc_ref=PAGES_TIMELINE. Photo department is a lot of fancy formal/dining room photos and waking up early to take pics of families in new ports. If you want to be more creative- go broadcast. :)
Robert Salmond I'm thinking about it too I'm excited
I go on cruises and always wonder the life of a crew member and thought to myself how a reality show would be awesome. Thanks for sharing some of the insider info for curious minds like myself!
I found the love of my life on a ship as a passenger and her as a crew member and we are happily together
Can you plz tell that story in short I'm excited to hear it❤️
@@pranithapranitha8851 so my family and I went on a cruise together and you know just to party and you know what you do at cruise and we decided to go to this teen club and she was working there and we started it to dance together but we thought it was just as friends. And then i start to catch feelings for her and she did for me so the last day on the ship, i just said i am do it and i asked her to be my girlfriend. And we took ever since i live in USA and her in Morocco, but we managed the long distance and now we are planning our wedding. We been together for 3 years now and i am glad i got to ask her to be mine and i truly do believe she the love of my life. And can’t wait for many years to come.
Thank you soo much for sharing your beautiful story,i wish both of you together forever ❤️god bless you always ,more lovable years will come for you both,I wish to see you both in another cruise journey,I'm a princess crew member ,wish you all the best 👍
@@pranithapranitha8851 thank you so much! She was a msc divina crew member ! Thank you so much❤️
@@johanvideomaker 👍,Tell my regards to her & stay safe and happy take care both
I know crew members from different countries met in the ship, married and working together in the same ship. Love your stories 😊
Holy smokes this video is badass ! The honesty in this video WOW
I do not think that there is just coffee in that mug.
Can’t remember the last time I got that high from just coffee.
You are so cute. Happy to see you are married. A video on how it all happened with him in the video. Love your videos, your humor, and how you break it all down, thank you for sharing!🙏
Hang out with the officers! Not where I worked. A few girls become the officers mistresses and disappear for a bit then the officers wives come on board. That's one way to move up the ladder when you're on board.
Fuck that shit
lmaooo
Hmm, likewise in the military. Small percentage being female it was not uncommon for the new girl to be very popular. You could always tell when a new girl started because there would be a circle of guys around her. Especially on deployments. Problem is sometimes girls who weren't used to something like this would become incredibly big headed.. and when they'd get back stateside would be rudely awakened when all of those guys disappeared. Sounds mean.. but that's just how life is.
Yeah I second that, but from my experience women on deployments go pretty much insane. They are fine for the first month or so but then they tend to crack and the guys have to deal with them everyday.
I couldn't agree more with that. During my deployments the motto going around was, "what happens on deployment stays on deployment." The females were just eating it all up. It got to the point where even a few were prostituting themselves just to cash in it. Until the MP's found out.
Worked on ships during the 80's. Generally hooked up with 1-3 pax per week (7 day cruises). Those were the days!
Soooo glad your back! Yes please do a video about your guy!
I have no intention of working on a cruise ship but have found myself watching every video?? I have worked in restaurants a lot in the past and I imagine working on a cruise ship is very similar but you are forced to live with Co-workers. A bunch of young attractive people working together who drink a lot together after a shift and everyone ends up hooking up with someone. It was a great way to live in my 20's, now I kinda wish I would have did it on a cruise ship
haha, it's a different life, that's for sure!
Cruise lines are subject to the laws of the country they are registered too while in international waters. So being on the ship, is like being in that country. Carnival Cruise ships are registered in Panama. In Panama, prostitution is legal, therefore while in international waters, it is legal onboard ship. It would be up to the cruise line to say if it's ok or not.
Love your honesty. I've been trying to get a heads up before going into my first contract. Even though I didn't like the odds, watching this video was good. Subscribed! ❤️😁
The title of this video just goes to show you how leaving out a tiny little world like "up" totally changes everything.
W. Dearth I mean hooking. I talk about prostitutes ;)
Damn. I should have watched the whole thing. I'm an ass.
Questions:
Best cruise line to work for?
Do they pay for your travel to board?
Crew bar, how cheap and how can you drink when you're working 12-15 hours a day?
When is your down time? For how long? Days off?
What are you able to do for fun? Especially when docking.
Best positions(no pun intended)?
What is the food like?
Prostitution isn't the oldest profession in the world, not even close :P Great video though!!!
Professions in order of occurrence:
1: Tool Making
2: Hunting/Meat Cutting
3: Clothier/Tailor
4: Storytellers
5: Artist
6: Musician
7: Farming
8: Builders
@ekim andersom That is a highly uneducated response.
Eve was tempted by Lucifer to partake of the forbidden fruit and did so, as well as her tempting Adam to do it as well. That is the original sin. Without that life would just be plain, no one would exist and nothing would have happened. There was no exchange of goods or exchange of anything. You should really read up your sources before saying something so off based like that. I am not even religious and I know this story.
I spent 2.5 years on ML class ships. It gets... interesting.
Also, I didn't see any prostitution either. I never even heard of it happening on board. No rumors or anything.
Your videos have really been helpful! I'm starting my first contract as a showband musician next week and now I have some inkling of what to expect onboard!
Hey! I just started watching your videos so I apologize if i ask a question you have previously answered. I'm Canadian and looking to start working on a cruise before i attend college in September. 1) How much money would you say a Server would make each month, how much previous experience do they look for? are you allowed to accept tips? 2) are there any other employment services you use and are there better times through the year to apply? I'm not currently seeing a lot of availability for work with the Canadian Employment office you recommended in one of your previous videos :( and 3) i'm only looking to work until September, so should i apply as youth? Thanks for reading! I'm continuing to watch your videos to gather more Intel as you have been very informative so far
I wouldn't go in as a server. I'd always recommend going in as something in revenue or entertainment- and yes, most contracts are 6 months but you can get away with less if you are 'seasonal youth staff' whereby you're called on during busy periods for 4 week- 2 month stints (march break, christmas, etc). Technically I think you're *supposed* to pool physical tips- but if an envelope comes with your name on it, most people just keep it. You get tipped as a youthie too!
Still apply even if they don't have anything up. Get a Life at Sea can also help! th-cam.com/channels/4_evAY55BzOe1wdZSSdzmA.html . There may not be anything right this second as most lines (especially for youth staff) probably would have already hired for march break/spring break high season and they'd all be aboard right now- or about to board.
Thanks for the shout out Michelle :)
The rooms are so tiny I can't imagine it's too erotic to take a fellow crew member 'back to yours' haha!
Mbeepy Unless he’s a higher up 😏
Honest question, do the cruise lines pay you extra to cover up the employment abuses on it? You paint a fairly rosy picture of it that goes against evidence about employment abuse.
The whole concept of "turning gay" is an interesting one. I have never "worked onboard," however I faced a similar scenario where there weren't ANY females around, and as humans we have needs, regardless of who assists people in achieving those needs is an entirely different story.
Great Video Michelle, I always wondered 🤔😉😄
Hi Michelle! I discovered your videos today and I'm thoroughly enjoying every one of them. Thank you ! ! !
I've always wondered about the process of rehiring with a new contract after a contract is over.
Does the former employee sit and wait to hear from the line or are they perhaps notified before the end
of a current contract that they will begin a new one on a specific date?
I know that many employees aren't faced with these issues very often but I'm sure that many many more are.
What's the 411 ??
You're notified before your Contract end. Hope this helps
Awesome! I'm going on the symphony of seas! pretty excited
Yo bro big up
I met my love of my life in cruise ship, everytime that people is asking us how did we met, this is always his response, "we met in guest services, lost and found, she is the LOST and i am the FOUND" im like, 😍😍😍
But jeez i miss my love right now.. 😔
pie milla awwww
finally u r back
Id imagine its like any short term contract work. You shouldnt go in thinking youre going to find the love of your life. Its a fling thing. Have fun, get paid...move on!
Your videos are fun and educational! Thank you!
I would love from story times from a cruise ship michelle! I bet you have amazing stories having worked on cruise ships, you could spill tea like a ship in a storm!
I was fired for being caught with my pants down in a firefighter locker, with a Australian passenger girl. I still regret it.
😂
U cant take em to the room?
I enjoy your vids for the info and content, but the question I want to ask is "off topic". What make/model of camera do you use to record your video?
Nikon D5200 :)
Thanks. I give it top marks for its' video quality but in my opinion, it leaves quite a bit of audio noise below your voice. I can hear you just fine, but it sounds as if you're in a room with a big air conditioner blowing on high. It's not a reason to throw away your camera, but I just wondered about it. I'm not criticising your videos, if anything I'm criticising Nikon (but I'm not, really) Keep on keepin' on.
Hi Michelle. I did 4 contracts working, and working up, in the casino starting as a dealer. That was a long time ago and looking back I say "Wow, was that me1". It was something out of Animal Planet, especially for the people like me who couldn't work while the ships were in port. I had 4 cabin mates and it was strange. I thought the first one was slutty, then the next 2 were normal, and then it went full circle and I thought my last one was a prude. Did you have any "Officer Mistresses" on your ship(s)?
I say finding a mate and most people don’t but it’s more accurate.
I love your videos! It's very cool to see the other side of the ships!
What did you do on board since there aren't that many Anglos on the ship? I was a casino dealer myself. I'd say I'd spend 1/3 of my time with my workers, 1/3 with my other Costa Ricans, and 1/3 with everyone else when I wasn''t in bed (sometimes alone, sometimes not).
love your videos and yes you should have your husband on your giving us the girl perspective of life on a cruise ship I'm sure he has a guy perspective. congrats on your marriage. also can you make videos while at sea and maybe show us the bridge or like videos of things you see while out at sea. hope you reply.
thank you so much for the video! will be important to me since I'm going to be working on new region Cruise Line soon thanks for the advice
I want to see him!!
I think it is pretty naive to believe the do not fraternise with the guests rule is about protecting the workers from any malice. It is mostly about classicism and the more well off guests not wanting to socialise with the help. It is also about the company not wanting their employees to forget their place by being allowed to freely socialise with the guests. An employee allowed to believe he or she is of equal social standing to a paying guest, which is the likely outcome of being allowed to freely socialise with paying guests, is much more likely to be an unruly and demanding employee. So the do not fraternise with guests rule is clearly not about protecting the employees, but about good ol' capitalism and the interests of the wealthy controlling it.
I think it's more about protecting the company itself.
Sorry but you are wrong. The policy is to protect the company and the crew member from liability. A spurned lover on the cruise ship has claimed rape theft assault etc. against crew members. It protects the company from bad publicity and litigation. As well as it is completely unprofessional. The leering crew members from the Love Boat is pure fiction. Crew are not to enter passenger cabins unless it is part of their duty i.e. cabin steward, room service, mechanical .....
Do passengers and crew members ever try to fraternize while in port? Is it still against the rules if the crew member is off the clock?
Anna Fink good question. i bet ppl take advantage of having relations while visiting ports
Some for sure try/do. But yeah. They basically are supposed to wait until their contract ends period. It's more for the cruise line/crew member's protection. A guest can turn around and say they didn't consent and then it opens all sorts of lawsuits against the company etc. Most crew don't want to get into that so they just sleep with other crew.
hello there... if you have a boyfriend and you've been together long, and both of you want to work on a cruise ship. do you tell someone and they make a plan for the two of you to be in the same cabin if you working for the same job?
Your so cute!!!
woah that's awesome 😍😍😍😮👏
love your videos. PLEASE upload more
Could a married couple find jobs on the same ship and room together?
Eric yes me and my wife are on the same ship but at first it was very difficult to get a cabin together as the number of male and female employees was the exact same and if we took a cabin together it meant that there had to be another couple who wanted to share and there wasn't however they fixed it after a month. They even encourage people to get their significant other on board because it means that the crew won't be as homesick and will be in better mood and therefore be better at their job.
lala 24 if im not married yet, can i get a room share with my boyfriend?
Delly Tan yes just remember that you can't change your cabin so for the length of that contract you two will have that room. So it's something you keep in mind if you guys break up or smth no changes will apply to the room.
lala 24 alright thankyou... 😊
OMG YASS QUEEN i SO wanna work on the same ship as Miss Michelle Tim she's amahzing.
its like that 70"s show the love boat
David Alexander You've got to be kidding me!
I loved that show. To bad real cruise life isn't that way.
Gday

how do you go about getting into the medical department on a cruise ship as a nurse. I'm not finding a lot of info on the steps
Hi Michelle!
I've been wanting to work on a cruise for a long time, I'm graduating high school early in hopes that I'll be able to get a job as a singer/dancer. Do you think I'll have a chance of being hired at 17? Or should I wait until I am 18?
Thanks!
eighthnotes I've seen 18 year olds.. not sure about 17- I'd check the audition pages :)
Thank you!
You're soooo helpful
Can a 50something single male be part of a crew on a cruise ship ( large or small ships)? Looking for a NEW experience abroad?
Hi Michelle, Nice video.I will love to share my experiences working on the cruise Lines.I worked 11 years.Any advice?
Hello my girlfriend is a dance performer on celebrity infinity and i was wondering if you have any advice or insight. We are very much serious but I am having somewhat of a difficult time on my end. Haha
hahaha, relationships i call fake life, while on a ship. Its pretty much just hookups I feel, but every now and then you get lucky, Ive worked on three ships haha and had a single cabin with two portholes... So when that happens people try so hard just to use you for your cabin lol.
loooooove the mug
Hello, I would appreciate if anyone can answer this :-) I have an offer to work on a cruise ship (gift shop department), and I wear fixed dental braces for 6 months already .My question is, do I have any dental doctors around, where i can make appointments (maybe one or two), because 6 months is a long time to be wearing braces without any medical supervision? Have you seen anyone ( staff or crew) with braces on board, and how they solve this problem? Any useful answer or suggestion will be appreciated..
I definitely want to work on a ship now.
Hello from Yerevan! Thanks so much!
Wow, I love your channel, your personality, and it is helpful that you are so beautiful (to me), I like your voice, I even like your lipstick, and the shape of your lips.
I like that you are forward.
Now, I'm not the type of person who would work for a cruise line company. I like my days off. I am an 8hr work day type of person.
But, I think I'll be watching your channel and admiring you from a far. Plus, I noticed your ring.
HAHA, I think the title should be HOOKING UP, not HOOKING!!
okay... now i got passed 10:30 ... good video!! :)
Hi Michelle! Really like your insights on the cruise ship life. I'm from China mainland. I'm wondering the working condition on ship for crew from Philippines and China is that bad as revealed from news. Should they have to work at least 100 hours per week and no day off with low salary less than 800 dollars? What about the salary of a waiter or a housekeeper? I'll be grateful to your reply.^_^
Most people work about 10 hours/ day (though not everyday), and EVERYONE works everyday, regardless of position (the one exception that you've been signed off sick). The average wage is about 1000/month (I made 1500 as youth counselor), while some positions also collect tips from guests. But remember, we are also fed three times daily and live for free. That doesn't happen on land- it means your money is yours.
Michelle Tim Thank you Michelle！
just subbed to your channel..
you are the best 👍🙄🙄😃
Not related to this video, but what departments are allowed to be in the guest areas? I know that hosts are, but what about the performers for the night shows and for those guys, do you know what the performers do during the day since really they work at night?
And how many times can you change ships in a contract? Do married couples get the option of working on the same ship if they're married at the beginning of their contract (like if they signed at the same time)
Thank you!
The quick answer is all entertainment staff (hosts, production crew, youth etc), officers and those in revenue (spa, casino, shops, etc). If you know the difference between crew, staff and officers, staff and officers are allowed in guest areas. During the day performers sometimes rehearse in the main theatre (especially the day-of the shows, there's always a run through- even though they've done the show countless times), they also help with things around the ship where needed and some will do classes (dance classes by the dancers and choir by the singers) for the guests. At night, sometimes there are theme parties they perform in as well! You usually stay on the same ship for your entire contract. The only way you'll usually move is if something happens to someone and they need to send a replacement asap. Married couples can stay together, yes :) Unmarried, not so much- you can try, but they make more of an effort for married couples.
Thank you!
Hi there your videos are very much benefitting thanks for sharing .I have one question,what about kitchen staff life? thanks
This was deep. My heart is fuzzy
I'm curious if relationships / fraternizing between officers and crew is banned? I imagine they keep to their own areas and guest areas anyway?
It's frowned upon only if you report to the officer directly. You can still date, but you have to make this known with onboard HR incase people start talking/ thinking your schedule is better and you're favoured etc etc.
any tips for personal trainers? I got a job. I am starting my training in June...Loooking for some info from crew members.There is not much online about fitness and all...If you mind please I would really appreciate it ! Thank you! btw your videos are great!
Sorry! I'm a bit unskilled here as while I knew the personal trainers from going to the gym, I was never super close with them to know their routine. Seems pretty OK though at first glance- looks like there's time off but some pressure as well as there's targets to hit- you need to get people into the classes/talks on weight loss etc and/or sessions to hit targets. It's a hard one to know a lot about as there are only ever really 2 people onboard doing the job- so I can understand why you can't find a lot of info! Maybe someone that has done the job will see your post here and can weigh in!
Michelle Tim hopefully..thank you anyway..😀
Hello, my boyfriend is going to work on a cruise for 6 months and we have been dating for 1,5 years, and I am very hesitant of him going. Do you think that our relationship could survive those 6 months? Without any cheating
It all depends how he is normally (and you). I've seen it go both ways. I've watched people struggle (or not struggle) and be 100% successful- but I've also watched married people/ people with a gf/bf back home cheat and then call their SO and chat like nothing happened. To each their own!
Michelle Tim I am literally freaking out! Ahahha. If you were in my shoes what would you do?
+Sara if he's a good guy I wouldn't worry. Worrying visibly might push him away. But if he's a known offender, why are you with him anyway!? Lol. If he goes just stay present- have him Skype you, call you, stay interested. A lot of the breakups happen because the people at home are jealous their bf/gf is off jetsetting and so what should be a nice check in turns catty out of jealousy. They happen as well because unless you're in it with him (is that an option for you?), you really feel like people at home don't understand your life on board and gravitate towards the people who do (the other people onboard). So maybe just stay interested and loving, I guess!
I trust him, and I know that he is an amazing guy I'm just scared of all the temptation you talked about. I am very happy that he gets the chance to experience working on a ship and I support him, but after hearing what you said, made me worried ( I've been cheated on before), I just need to be more positive, I guess.. I can't do the same, because I am in college, but after that who knows? Ahahah. Thank you for answering my questions, it's our firts time being this much time away from each other, that is also one of the reasons I am little apprehensive. But yeah, I need to be more positive! Have a lovely day.
Ps: I love your videos!
how did it end up going?
What?? Yes totally want to see him and hear your story!! Will you go back to the ship together?
Could you please tell me that How do we contact daily to our family when we are on cruise?
KING IN EVERYTHING SKK there's wifi/ internet
@@MichelleTimrox is life is really difficult in starting time when you join any cruise 🚢?
I’d love to see your husband, and hear about what he thought when he met you, if it was a cute lovely story, or what bumps there were.
Hummm when kids graduate high school and move on, sounds like a fun job. Might have to look into it.
Is it possible for a couple getting jobs on the same ships or can we totally forget about that idea? (Been together for 8 years so want to do it together but seems impossible??
It IS possible...but if you do a second contract there's a chance you could be separated. You kinda go with the needs of the business. If you're MARRIED however, they tend to help that arrangement out a lot more than just couples. The exception to this is if you're looking at a job that must always be together for the job to work (musician duo/adage duo etc..these guys can be boyfriend/girlfriend and get on together no problem)
but can marriage couples sleep on the same bed ??
Yeah, but depending on your positions, you might be sleeping together in a bunkbed (twin size). Being a married couple doesn't upgrade your room to one with a double bed.
I was hoping that you would go more in depth about workers sleeping with guest for example expressing a story that may have happened with someone on a cruise ship that was a No No ? indicating that "It does happen" or "It doesn't happen to often"
oh yeah .. u are making it plainer for me .. I guess I'm gonna be in better love aboard. thanks dear Michelle !
I would love to know on which department you work
Hi, Michelle, which ship are you working on ? And which company?

A few comments. First, 70 % of the crew is from Asia so they tend to stick together. So for that reason the 70/30 thing isn't really accurate. I would say its more 60/40 or even 50/50.
That percentage was ROUGH on me my last contract. Sheesh, my Princess ship had to be like 75% male, only 25% chicks. So it was a total sausage fest. Worse, for me, a middle aged bald guy, I had NO CHANCE with the small percentage of chicks, and most of them half my age! Ugh!
Are you currently working on a ship or plan to go back anytime soon?
Hi, i wanna ask if are we allowed to get share room with our own boyfriend? Like apply cruise job together from the start.
Not boyfriend usually but married couples they will move things around for. However if you enter with a job where you have your own cabin, they can of course come live with you/ move in.
What happens if a crew member gets pregnant on the ship?
That crew member is fired, if pregnancy is found out.
Daniel Wurst: They issue u a clothes hanger to perform ur own abortion. Off the clock of course.
Jeff Jeff 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just like Correctional Officers aren't allowed to "sleep with Inmate-Offenders" but they do and when that happens you know what's going to happen. I should know as a Former Correctional Officer Seargent, I have witnessed women and other men having forbidden sexual relationships with Inmate-Offender Males and had to report them. Sick, I know.
I was wondering, do "higher up" employees get different cabins? Like the captain head of departments
lookatmysheeaat yep! it varies depending on what kind of manager you are. some get exactly the same room as in my room tour, but with only one person. senior officers have things that look like guest rooms up to a mini suite (depending on stripes). the captain has a mini suite. my first videos were filmed in a big, senior officer room.
Michelle Tim I would be ok with the single bed room like yours. It would a lot like when I was in Japan so that would be ok with me ;)
Hi I am from India. I have experience in retail and also have basic photography certificate. Which department is good to join? And will I be able to start my career on cruise line? Which cruise line I can apply ? Please help???!!!
I think you answered your own question- shops (retail) or photo department! They're both some of the better jobs you can have on the ship all things considered.
All the application websites say you have to be 21 to apply but I've found LOADS of sources (of varying reliability) that say they''d consider an 18+ year old depending on the position, maturity and their capability. Have you ever seen anyone under 21 working on a ship and if so what position? :)
I want to see him!! Y'all should do a video together:)
Hello Miss! Could you please tell me what exactly happens at the end of the contract. If for instance, I (along with other crew/staff members) successfully finish the contract, what does more precisely happen from that moment onward. Will anybody wait/escort us to a coach and then directly to the airport? Will we leave the ship all together (boom - open the gates over 1000, 2000 crew members need to exit the ship right in this moment) or separately day by day.. Hopefully you understand my question. I would like to know how things unfold when you finish your contract and you start to prepare going home. Thank you in advance.
You are escorted to a vehicle that takes you to the airport. You get your tickets about 2 weeks before you leave the ship. They have full 'sign-off' meetings where they go over everything and you do a tonnn of stuff before you leave- return things, get things signed, collect paperwork etc. No, not all crew leave at the same time, that would be chaos. You might sign off with 15-30 other people. It's almost always on embark day (the day cruise guests get on and off the ship- old guests exit and new ones come on for a new cruise start)
Michelle Tim Thank you so much Michelle! Could you please answer to my following, last question? If I don't do anything bad such as "lovely activities" with passengers, late for work, etc. you know what I mean concerning those highly prohibited stuff. I always prove that I am eager to do my best, I am always good intended, result orientated, bla-bla.. do they have tolerance with me/us? In other words, I hope that the percentage of getting off the ship before the contract expires for crew/staff members is because they (the personnel) might resign, rather than getting fired. Right? Thanks!
