Creator's Key Takeaways

i've done 38 to date as a guest okay and mostly before i worked on a ship

i started off at carnival went over to piano australia morella cruises and i did work for celebrities

the biggest difference in doing a british clientele i would say is that you're more reserved and the entertainment is a little more

i always make an effort to try and rent people's names write them down and stuff but do you see them from the other side yes okay so this is a misconception

Creator's Tips & Advice

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

A couple of weeks ago I was chatting with a friend of mine Kabir about his career as a cruise director. We recorded our conversation for his podcast Keeping Afloat and while we were chatting I was thinking... The conversation (and Kabir) were so interesting I thought, let's continue this conversation live on YouTube. As you do! Kabir's channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/TravelWithKabirCD If you've ever wanted to ask a cruise director a question, here's your chance. Kabir has worked on lots of cruise lines, including Marella and P&O Australia. This week's live stream will be on Friday at 5 PM UK (12 PM Eastern). I can't wait for this chat, so excited. See you then :)
