Creator's Key Takeaways

why being on a world cruise as a crew member isn't all it's cracked up to be

you are going to be working a lot of hours which means you're going to need to rest in between shifts

if you have a job with targets it's probably a commission based job you're not going to make much commission

the food is very very hit and miss because again we're in barcelona every week we order pretty much the same food every week

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Take rest days to avoid burnout, even if it means missing a port

✓Be prepared to spend money daily while exploring ports, making saving difficult

✓If you have a target-based job, expect lower commission due to passenger spending habits

✓Manage seasickness, as sea days are busy for crew

✓Establish a routine when possible to conserve energy

✓Be ready for frequent money exchange and bank card issues
