That’s what I was thinking. It’s kind of ironic that the person who gets the least down time gets the most space They totally deserve it though with how much they work!
@@NickSmith-fe7lp yeah I think the point is because they have a crazy amount of work they’re given the nicest room so they can enjoy any little downtime they have
i was thinking that...like when r they IN the CABIN...the ones on our cruises seem to ALWAYS be introducing and ending EVERY show... they r running all over the ship checking on and encouraging staff and guest...maybe the extra room is to have meetings w their staff? All i know is i think they earn the cabin space but do not get to enjoy it...
@@Seendnoodz I am not saying they shouldn’t. I just didnt expect that. Normally the crew quarters are very small from what I’ve seen and a lot of them have to share rooms and a washroom with the cabin beside them. So like a lot of them have to share a washroom between 4 crew members. And also I heard, I don’t know if its true or not, but the crew like the waiters and room cleaners don’t even get a paycheque, their payment is the gratuity like what the guests tip them at the end of the trip
@@iCazZiStronZiit’s not true. If it was the case, it would be slavery. They do get a low pay check though, so the tips are important and play a big part on their income
@mikehunt221 The Art program is a vendor just like the onboard shops or casino. The art program maintains the dedicated onboard art gallery and holds gallery hours daily. Typically auctioneers will also host 1-2 hour seminars on sea days on different art topics. The most well known event the Art Director holds are the at sea auctions. Typically every sea day there will be an art auction that will last about 3 hours with a 2-3 hour "preview" before hand where guests can come view the art and inquire if they are interested in purchasing any. Lastly, we build relationships with the passengers and hang out with them during their cruise at cruise events, dinner, shows and bars. On Port days we're off having fun!

In July of 2010 my husband and I took our first cruise! (Honeymoon) RC Freedom of the Seas, that cruise director was GOLDEN. Honestly he MADE that cruise feel like a party. We were so sad to see him go and every cruise since then has never had a cruise director like him! Ugh! Miss it!!
the cabin with the folding upper bunk usually. accountants and some pursers are also considered officers but they share (option 2) as well. depends on your seniority and on what is available as far as the cabins assigned to your department.
That would be reason number 1 I'd never want to work on a cruiseship. I appreciate having my own bedroom/bathroom/kitchen. If I don't feel like seeing people for a few days I don't ever need to leave my flat.
Some of us just can't be around people that often. When I was in school and later the army, I'd be catching naps as often as I could, whenever and wherever I could get a few minutes alone.
Makes me think of staterooms on my ship lol! I work/live on an aircraft carrier and for the enlisted berthings it can be from like 30 racks (bunks stacked 3 high) to like 300 racks! The staterooms are for the officers and can be from 1 to 6 racks, and the CO and XO have their own spaces like the director's cabin, but the CO has a much bigger space. Also, the CO has an "in port" cabin and an "at sea" cabin lol.
It would be for me, personally, yes. WORST would be to have a room mate who wants to be all social with me, and works the same shifts as I do. Better would be to have someone willing to just do his/her own thing and leave me to do mine. Better than that would be to have a room mate who works a different shift than I do. But I think that a line that cared would make the effort to pair people who work different shifts. And all those would just be luck of the draw... I wouldn't mind sharing a bath room, so long as they cleaned up after themselves....
I find that crew members need an own space and not shared. You guys work a lot, and live intern. Crew quality is key in this kind of work spaces. Take good care of the crew, so the crew is taking a little more effort on the workplace
dont be scared! it’s so much fun. sometimes you’ll forget your even in the middle of the ocean LOL! Also, there’s lifeboats, life rafts, and SOOO much more safety equipment! you’ll have the best time of your life, trust
i went to alaskan cruise in May via Norwegian, I had a great time! some people have that anti nausea patch if you have severe sea sickness but for me I didn’t need any. I would recommend
There is nothing to be scared of. I’ve been on 5 cruises and I have enjoyed all of them. Cruise ships are way safer than driving, there is nothing to worry about
Well, after i recently watched a video of junior enlisted quarters on navy ships, even the double bunks here look gigantic. So much space, so few roomies. So much privacy. XD perspective matters so much.
Cruise director is a 3 stripes position. So they do not have the biggest crew cabins. Usualy there are 3 positions that are 4 stripe, that is: Captain, Chief enginer and hotel director.
Those cabins are usually 3 Stripes. The Hotel Director and Captain have the Best ones. The captain has a living room with a balcony along with a dinning room and a small kitchen.
I always had a single dorm in college and looking back I wish I had a roommate then because I feel like as an only child and then having had a single dorm in college I’ll never have that experience of having shared a room with another person who isn’t my romantic partner. And i feel like it’s probably a good experience to have / a good exercise in empathy, patience, and tolerance! But as an American I haven’t really figured out how to crack the code of applying for these jobs since they seem to mostly only be available to people from other countries when I browse for the job listings for things I’d be qualified to do (which isn’t much haha). My background is in film and television production, mostly experience working on set in the production department, so I think being able to make call sheets and stuff would be a transferable skill to making the daily agenda or doing something audio / video related with my technical skills or making highlight reels or something to show the passengers with my video editing skills…. Any idea what job on a ship I’d be qualified for? I dream of a life at sea, even if it makes no money! 🚢⚓️ I have a rent controlled apartment in LA that’s less than half of market value that I’d love to rent out and just get on a ship and see where life takes me!
When I went to a porthole room on my ship I was living the life. Then I got a full picture window and all my coworkers would come hang in my room 🤣 I miss the ship life sometimes
The cruise companies seem extremely stingy with that shared bathroom setup. Look how small that little bit of space is, it's like 2ft wide by around 4ft! Just give everyone that amount of room, it's so small compared to the overall room size and is a massive negative for the crew I'd imagine.
I'm not interested in going out to sea in a cruise ship but the food looks great so if the cruise ship ever has a layover for a few months then I paid for the cruise going nowhere
Why don't you join Democratic or Republican party? You wouldn't need to go into combat and put your life on the line and just be a chicken warhawk from the comfort of your office in Washington!!
Usually top officers get cabins by the bridge and they sometimes have large windows and sometimes balconies. They also come with room service and cabin attendants.
A few years ago I found a duck in the casino on a carnival cruise. I have a picture of it but I didn’t check if it had money I just hid it in a different spot hahah
You just ask them. As a musician, you're in the same department. You work with them over the course of months and see them every day. The cruise director on my last ship had some sick cabin party's.
Wondering on where I would apply in getting a job to work for a cruise ship company. I’m from western Kentucky but never been on a cruise ship period. Tips/Advice on applying for a job?
@ajmacnab63 No shit. I'm 4 months into my 4th contract. It's not feasible for everyone to have a window. I never have and honestly, it's not that bad. You just go out to the open deck or back/front deck every day to get some fresh air and sun. And pretty much no one stays for a year long contract, it's extremely rare. Even 10 months is rare.
@ajmacnab63 It's not bad for entertainment, which is the department I'm in, which is the department this guy is in. For the other hundreds of crew, it's an awful job. So no, I'm not talking shit. I have first hand experience and you're just making assumptions based on information you've heard second hand.
