Creator's Key Takeaways

you have to go on board prepared in that you're mentally ready that you're going to be working every hour God sends

the best thing is definitely the time off I mean we only work when the ship is at Sea so we get a lot of time off to go and actually explore the ports

I just love this company and everything they stand for and everything they're doing it has just been wonderful

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Budget for internet, coffee, and port expenses to figure out monthly spending

✓Pack essentials in hand luggage in case checked luggage is lost

✓Focus on work first when joining, as exploring ports is a perk, not the primary purpose

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Mental shock from working long hours — Go on board prepared mentally for working every hour, focus on work first

Maintaining friendships while away — Friends need to be understanding; communicate that you'll be less responsive

Saving money on a cruise ship salary — Budget carefully, use a separate savings account, avoid spending on small things like coffee
