Basic Advice for Crew While Workings on Cruise Ships

Have you ever wondered, how it would be like to work on a ship, Yes?? Well you are not alone in thinking that. Looking at these humongous ships many people might be thinking of working on it. Well, it’s not as it looks like. It’s one of the most exciting and filled with adventures job where you can meet new people from different countries. If you are an outgoing person and seeking adventure of a lifetime then working on a cruise ship is just the job that you have been looking for. Below the art galleries, restaurant, guest room there is another life and that’s “the life of the crew”. Being on sea there is small chance of encountering pirates; don’t get panicked because crew are not required to fight the pirates however they are trained for any possible such situation. Some people might think of having a sexual relation with the guest might work in their favor but honestly, it is the fastest way of getting fired. So if you love your job then be right and be true to your job. Crews are even allowed to go out when the ship is in port but if you happen to go out of the ship for a short sightseeing then make sure to come back before departure time because they will leave you behind, and that’s a rule which has to be followed by passengers and as well crews. It has to be followed because cruise line have to pay a fine if they overstay in port hence instead of paying the fine they would like to leave you behind so always make sure that you are on time.

Applying for a job on a cruise ship

Getting the job on cruise ships is one of the hardest parts if you do not go through the right advice or suggestion. Most people who apply for cruise ship jobs rarely know the positions they want to join. Many end up saying something like “I want to work somewhere which is related with guests”. Gain information of the cruises before joining and that’s the most initial part. The most common thing that has been asked from people is “how much would I earn and how much do I save after the work period/contract is over?” well, it all depends on your position and the cruise line. That’s why research about the cruise line/company before joining. Every rank has its advantages and higher the rank more responsibility will follow. If you have experience in hospitality then it just might work in your favor as in cruise lines, hospitality is the core thing. There are various kind of positions available in every cruise line so be very clear which position would best fit your caliber. Some of the positions are like deck crew, casino staff, bedroom stewards etc.

 

Tips of life style of a crew

Lifestyle of a crew member can be very hectic sometime. The timings of the job drastically vary. Some might be working for 9-11 hours whereas some like bar staff end up working 12-15 hours. Your cabin/room has to be shared with another crew member and it comes with bunker bed. Security keeps a very close look on crew members all day and night and if you are caught in an act with the guest then you are released from your duties and kicked out of the ship on the next port and that’s the end of your adventure and exploration. In a cruise there are many nationalities you will be working and encountering but among them you might not find much Americans compare to other nationalities. Well there are reasons and one of them is Americans are high wage people and ships can’t afford high wage crew/staff compare to what they can get from other places. There are many crew members who have been sent home because they fall sick on regular basis and this happens without paying them. There have been incidents where females as well have been sent home without pay because they got pregnant on board.

Crew life on board

Tip represents 95% well over their salary for a crew member. A crew member has to be disciplined and flexible cause the management can change the shift anytime example- if you are working in bar in daytime, your manager might change it to night shift and you have to change your sleeping patterns immediately. Even the crew enjoys the taste of parties in cruises. Well the drinks that are served are cheaper than the ones sold on the deck for example if the drink on deck is for $10 then below the deck will be $2. Many people think that working on cruise is like roaming the world on expenses of the ship but honestly people who work especially the restaurant crew doesn’t even get time to explore because after their work hours they are so drained out that they would prefer to take a nap when they get a chance.
