Creator's Key Takeaways

please don't go on board expecting to work two days a week because you will be very very disappointed

the shops are definitely one of the best departments to work in for time off

shore excursion staff definitely have one of the best jobs and for time off definitely casino staff

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider working in the shops for the best time off to explore ports.
Don't expect to work only two days a week; time off is limited and based on department needs.
Earn extra time off through good performance or meeting targets in revenue departments.

YouTube Video Description

Hey sailors If you are going to work on a cruise ship then most likely, you are doing it to be able to travel. While this is one of the main perks of working on a cruise ship, you have to have time off work to be able to explore the ports you will be visiting. Working on land normally means you work Monday to Friday and then have the weekend off, and you have a certain amount of days during the year you can book off work. This isn’t the case when working on a cruise ship. You will be expected to work every day of your contract but hopefully you will get enough time off to see the amazing destinations. In today's video I explain how time off is given when working onboard and list a few different jobs you can do that will give you the most amount of time off. This video will be good for anyone thinking about working on cruise ships or maybe you want to travel and are looking or jobs that will allow you to do so. I hope this video helps you decide what job would be good for you onboard a cruise ship.
