Creator's Key Takeaways

many of these crew members are on these ships for months and months and months at a time sometimes seven to eight months at a time working seven days a week on all kinds of hours

picture yourself being away from your family for seven to eight months not because you love traveling and doing these sort of things but because this job pays better and you can send money to your family to help support your family

if you see a crew member that seems a little down it might be something happening at home it might be something happening in the world that is affecting them

the next time that you're on a cruise ship and you see somebody before you complain about them to somebody just perhaps they you know give them a second chance

YouTube Video Description

Crew members on a cruise ship. The staff on a cruise ship always seem so polite and smiling. Here's something to think about that we really don't sometimes. I would like you to keep this in mind before you think a crew member does not seem happy at their work. Need to contact me with questions or to book a cruise?
