I have my first contract to join Le Lyrial (Ponant company). I'm living in 2 days for the other side of the world. I'm very stressed that I forget something but very excited to start! Your videos have been very helpful, thank you!

@CruisingAsCrew 2 года назад

Good luck babe. You will be fine and anything you forgot you can just order off amazon to the ship!

Hi Manon! How are you getting on? How long have you been on the ship? Which ship is it please? Soz for all the questions but I'm just about to join a P&O ship as crew and any tips you have for a newbie would be greatly appreciated! Happy sailing! 🛳️ Claire ❤️

You should also print off your vaccination proof. If you go into the NHS app and click vaccine passport for travel then it'll come up with QR codes and then at the bottom it'll say something like "download PDF version". I do this whenever I'm travelling so you don't have to rely on wifi

Do you recommend getting travel insurance to cover the whole contract? My son is based in the UK but is about to join RCCL in Miami, he'll be away for 13 months. I can see that RCCL cover some medical stuff, but we're wondering if you think baggage/gadget only is enough, or whether he needs something more comprehensive in case he gets injured while ashore!? What do people normally do? TIA!!

You can download from the NHS website a printable copy of the Covid inoculation record, this is everybit as good as the APP, and unlike the APP cannot fail at the crucial moment! ( you are correct the little card you get when being vaccinated is meaningless for travel.

@chefslog2970 2 года назад

First contract as a Sous Chef (the first female on ever for POA), I join the ship on 03/03/2022 in Portland. Pride of America (NCL) will leave Portland for Hawaii mid March, and get our first guests in early April. I am really nervous to read my contract, as communication has been terrible from my many handlers (I am sure mostly COVID related) and I have no idea what has changed in the five months since I signed my provisional contract.

@morganbaldwin4828 Год назад

Hey I am joining POA as well! plz tell me how was your experience as I am a little nervous with joining! The communication still hasn’t been the best on my end either it has taken them a long time to respond back to me :/

@chefslog2970 Год назад

@@morganbaldwin4828 yes, it is very chaotic right now. Staffing is really hard. But I had a blast. I was scheduled to work 4.5 months, but I was extended and ended up working almost 6 months. It will all mostly make sense when you get on the ship. Just hang in there. Everyone freaks out the first few weeks, but then it all comes together:

@chefslog2970 Год назад

@@morganbaldwin4828 I spent a lot of time on Maui and Kauai (the overnights are easier). I never got off on Kona or Hilo, but the sous chefs work more than most on the ship. Most of my staff was able to see all the ports. It depends on which department you work

@@CruisingAsCrew Cool. Thanks for sharing Im sure other people ask all the time on other videos. My dad mentioned I should do it 2017. It is something I have thought of since then. Im working on my TWIC and US merchant mariner credential now. Thinking about water purification aboard cruise ships. Based on what I have read it sounds like that work is contracted out to the companies that install them. Enjoy your videos, there are a couple of other channels about life aboard cruise ships as well and they are all enjoyable.
