Creator's Key Takeaways

i actually failed my medical just before i went on virgin voyages in december 2019

if you are on a cruise that has only adults on board it's going to be a lot easier for you to hit target

i would say the best age to do it is in your early 20s

don't sweat the small stuff you are about to embark on the most amazing adventure

βœ“Apply for the same ships at the same times with the same joining dates to work with friends
βœ“Organize your second contract before you get off your first
βœ“Take earplugs with you in case your roommate snores
βœ“Spend money on comfortable work shoes and a good universal adapter
βœ“Get a spare name badge printed when you first arrive

Hey sailors, In today's video, I am answering all your questions about being a crew member working onboard a cruise ship. A few weeks ago I asked you to submit your crewmember questions on Instagram. I was overwhelmed with how many questions were submitted so today we are going through just a handful of them so be sure to let me know in the comments if you would like a part 2 to this video.
