YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Hey Sailors, In today's video, I go through my four years spent at sea. Working on cruise ships remains to be the best decision I have ever made, but that doesn't mean it has been easy. I moved away from my family and friends at the age of 19 and started my cruise ship career with Steiner/ The Onboard Spa. I spend a considerable amount of time at the Steiner Academy in London, training in all the luxurious treatments that are performed in the spa's onboard. From there, I started my first contract which was on board a Royal Caribbean ship sailing around Australia, The Middle East, and the Mediterranean. I've since worked on 3 Royal Caribbean ships, a P&O ship, and now on Virgin Voyages' new ship, The Scarlet Lady. I have worked in both the Spa and the shops on board and learned a lot. During this time, I have been lucky enough to visit some of the most incredible countries and have met some of my best friends which I will be forever grateful for. This video will be a great watch if you are thinking about working on cruise ships and you are interested in my experience which hopefully you will learn something from FOLLOW website I www.cruisingascrew.com Instagram I @cruisingascrew Facebook I @cruisingascrew Twitter I @cruisingascrew Pinterest I @cruisingascrew MUSIC The music in my videos is from Epidemic Sound, a royalty-free music sharing site.
