Creator's Key Takeaways

working on a cruise ship I still believe was the best decision I ever made

I was asked to be a manager when I worked for Steiner and then when I worked for Harding on Pio I was asked to be a manager

I don't regret it because if I was manager for my time on Virgin or even Pio I would not have had the time to start this YouTube channel

YouTube Video Description↓

Hey sailors, We are approaching my 10 year cruise ship anniversary. I can't quite believe I have been working on ships for this long. As most people do when a big birthday or milestone approaches, I have been thinking about my time on cruise ships and what I would've done differently if I could go back and do it again. So in this video, I'm reflecting with you, I'm talking about the decisions I have made through my time onboard.
