Creator's Key Takeaways

if you can't speak Italian you're screwed 90 of the crew members who are Italian only speak in Italian

cabins can sleep for people there's a lot of cabins that sleep for people so which means there's a higher possibility that you will end up in a cabin with four people

I would 100 cruise on a Fred olsenship work on there not so much

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Avoid cruise lines with a dominant single nationality on board to prevent crew mafias

✓Do not work on Fred Olsen ships due to poor living conditions and old ships

✓Avoid the Queen Mary 2 due to its grueling itinerary with long sea days

✓For revenue department jobs, avoid long cruises as sales targets are harder to hit
