Creator's Key Takeaways

One of the best parts of being a cruise ship performer is the travel.

It's not a holiday, it's your job.

Travel with your friends when you can. Not only is this a bit more fun, but it's also safer when visiting a new place that might be unfamiliar to you.

I've been to some really incredible ports of call while working on a cruise ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Plan ahead for limited port time with quick searches or crew recommendations.
βœ“Use the buddy system for safety and cost-sharing.
βœ“Avoid blowing your paycheck by treating yourself only at special ports.
βœ“Rest when needed, even if it means skipping a port.
βœ“Use crew discounts and support local businesses.
βœ“Check crew all ashore rules, import manning, and documentation requirements.
