Creator's Key Takeaways

so on a cruise ship there is of course passenger areas and crew areas

if you're one-and-a-half stripes or above then you are allowed in guest areas even when you are not working

if you're gonna have a drink in a group in a passenger bar my advice would be have a drink but make it a drink

guests come first and you know it really does take one person to mess up guest privileges

Creator's Tips & Advice

Have only one drink in passenger bars and continue drinking in crew bars or call it a night
Remember that guests come first in restaurants and other facilities

YouTube Video Description

Hey Sailors, On a cruise ship, there are areas for the passengers and areas for the crew. Passengers are not allowed in crew areas and only a selected few crew members are allowed in passenger areas. The general rule is the more luxurious the ship the less likely you (as a crew member) will be allowed in passenger areas. So, it's easy if you are on a high-class ship, the answer is no, but if you're working on a more relaxed cruise line the rules can seem a little fuzzy. Then we get into the stripe ranking system, and how many stripes your job role has, will determine if you will be allowed in passenger areas or not. This video will be a great watch if you are thinking about working on cruise ships and want to know if you will be allowed to enjoy both the crew and the passenger facilities when onboard.
