Hey sailors, In todays video I am interviewing Akhtar who is a Junior Bar Steward onboard Virgin Voyages' Scarlet Lady. We met on P&O Oceana in 2019 and have ended up both going to Virgin. Bars is a popular department to work in on cruise ships as there is the potential to make good money depending what country you are from. I have asked Akhtar lots of questions about the bars department so we can understand what it is really like. For all of you who are hoping to work in the bars department onboard cruise ships, I hope this video helps you get a better idea of what to expect.
