I'am an ex crew member of Royal Caribbean,,let me tell you, life is touhg on cruise ships,working 16 hours every day seven days with an afternoon off from eleven am to 4 pm.but it's a great experience overall.
humberto montoya hats off to you , good workers r hard to find and in life being good will only bring good things! Be patient, be kind, and youll find!
It's great to discipline yourself working long hours. It will pay off someday. Worked in a beach hotel during high season for long hours for a period 3 months in a stretch.👌👍
Not sure Royal Caribbean would have approved, but I'm glad you recorded it. I've really wanted to know what it was like "downstairs" and this video gave me some good insight!
That is what I mean. For example, you can do behind the scenes tours of crew areas on a lot of ships, but they don't let you bring cameras of any type for security reasons. They'll screen you with security to ensure compliance.
+Tim Alcoser This video was recorded a few years ago when I used to work for RCCL. I am not sure if they would approve or not, but now I don't think it is important anymore.
+Jonas Brum great video man, i cruise a lot with royal caribbean. the staff have always been awesome and they work very hard for all of the guests. people should tip generously.
I was crew during that time (conductor of CHICAGO the musical) and seeing this brings back great memories of the crew areas - and the people I recognize from that time! Thanks for posting!
Thank you for an excellent video! That ship is huge! The passageway right at the beginning goes on and on and on. Probably over 1000 crew members, and some don't see outside for days, I'll bet.
At least I know the crew are allowed downtime to enjoy themselves. I was expecting a hundred people chained to oars rowing to the beat of a drummer. Looks like an awesome work environment.
Thanks for the video Jonas. I have sailed with Voyager and loved the experience. I have been on 6 cruises and always had good things to say about the staff on all of them. This video, amongst others i've see, confirms that there are a lot of good people working on the ships and I can only extend my gratitude as a passenger for all the hard work they do.
eu sou estudante de hotelaria pela UFMA e um dos meus sonhos é trabalhar em cruzeiro. Logo que entrei no curso que é um curso vasto e com inúmeras areas de atuação, a hotelaria em cruzeiros foi a que mais me chamou a atenção, desde então eu tenho pesquisado sobre agências e como tudo funciona para aplicação em uma vaga e quanto mais eu procuro sobre a vida de um tripulante mais eu quero ingressar nessa carreira, eu sei que nada é fácil, mas eu sinto que finalmente me encontrei e espero muito poder um dia trabalhar com o que eu amo.
Always curious about the crew areas, thanks. I hope the crew have some gym and/or pool areas too; I know they are there to work, but keeping crew happy and healthy is important, too. Hope you didn't get in trouble with this ending up on RU-vid!
Oi Jonas Brum, a área destinada a tripulação é linda neste navio, da pra perceber que na construção do navio eles não só se preocuparam com os futuros passageiros como também com os futuros tripulantes. No navio que eu trabalhai o costa Fascinosa tem um refeitório horrível para os crew e até para os staff, tudo bem que o Fascinosa é bem menor que o Allure, mas mesmo assim eles podiam ter feito um cantinho melhor para a tripulação.
+Graziela Almeida O navio e' lindo... mas se voce nao tem a sorte de estar em uma posicao que te de single cabin, a vida nao eh tao facil assim. As outras cabines sao ainda menores.
I was there in 2016-17 and the canteen is different now, they've added training rooms in place of tables and chairs! So strange seeing it like this in 2013!
Oh this was very interesting to see. Thank you for sharing. Hope your friend that didn't want to be on the internet won't get mad at you. I will be going on Allure for Halloween.
Allure has actually managed to respect their crew with these accommodations. If these quarters had been available in the 80's I would have been a Chef or Sous Chef on board in a heartbeat.Instead, I became a "land" chef where the living was much finer
Ótimo vídeo, deu pra ter uma ideia da área dos tripulantes. Vou iniciar na Celebrity X no ano que vem, imagino que seja no mesmo padrão por ser da RCCL.
many modern ships no longer have crew areas apart from bunks, when not on duty the crew are allowed free access to all guest areas providing they are in disguise as tourists :-(
Ah Yes, Seabourn sailing is actually a class above Royal Caribbean. In that Seabourn clients are more exclusive. I would like to sail someday on one of the ships of the Cunard fleet, and possibly work on the "The World" Cruise Line. Bon Voyage my friend.Take Care of yourself...Hope to meet you some day.
Helo.mr.jonas.im shabbir from india.i was just reviewing some videos on youtube and i found urs and saw it. Thank you for showing some of the inside cruiseship.
Gostei de saber como é o navio para a tripulação. Este verão vou no Allure, mal posso esperar para estar dentro de um navio mais uma vez e ir ao Johnny Rockets ☺❤
so on a typical cruise, there is floor 1, then floor 0 has infirmary, then how many floors are there below zero? I guess it does vary from ship to ship.
I really enjoyed the video. The crew messdecks are great along with the rec rooms. Very nice. I have a question though, I am a US Navy veteran. When we were at sea we through all our garbage overboard, do the cruise ships do the same thing or do you hold the garbage on station till you hit port......Just curious.
Always everybody told me it is not alow to film the crew area either the guess area and I already worked for 2 different cuises lines. Siempre me dijeron que no era permitido filmar el area de crew ni de pasajeros y ya trabaje para dos navieras distintas. Como podes filmar
OH HI JONAS BRUM THANKS FOR A NICE VIDEO. I ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW CREWS AREA , YOU ARE CAPITAN ? TERE'S MANY BRAZILIAN WITH YOU IN THE SAME SHIP ? I VISITED ARGENTINA , URUGUAY , CHILE AND FRANCE I'AM LOOKING FOR A POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY AS CREW . BEST REGARD WALTER INACIO .FROM BARRETOS SP BRAZIL .
Nice single room, I was expecting the crew had to shair rooms no window but still very nice single room. They do sell no window rooms to passengers so the crew are getting the same thing but not as fancy but still nice place to sleep. I hear crew work very long hours and have 6 day work weeks so you work very hard for your money and room. I heard most crew send all their money home to their family in most cases.
Margaret Cabral If you work on the bridge you never get a day off, and usually its 4 hours work, 8 hours rest, 4 hours work and 8 hours rest again. Then there often comes overtime. The longest shift ive had was 32 hours in a row on a general cargo vessel, mooring, sorting lashing equipment, cleaning the cargo hold, repairing a broken bulkhead, unmooring and keeping lookout. Back then I was but an apprentice so I didnt even get to collect that sweet ovetime and stevedore bonus, or any wage at all for that matter :p
11thWarrior I did 4 contacts on one of the big 3 cruise lines. One day I sat down with a friend of mine who worked on an aircraft carrier and we compared notes. The cruise ship is better in some ways, while the aircraft carrier is better in others. The one common thing is that everyone is working hard, usually 12 on, 12 off.
is the entire area in the open - near the helipad meant for crews? Are crew members allowed to be in the open area 24/7? It feels very clauster phobic looking at the room/underground areas
regent said leave wallet behind, yes I will leave behind and just come with myself and needs for a free trip to stay on ship until I die on the ship. They said leave the wallet behind so I will come alone in my wheelchair and let them take care of me for free leaving my wallet behind. What do you think they will say, when I say they told me to leave my wallet hehind in their ad so I am here .
