Creator's Key Takeaways

having a relationship with a passenger could lead to instant termination of your contract now there are many reasons why this rule is in place

the whole premise of being on a cruise ship is that it takes you to these amazing places during your five day or week vacation but they actually want to keep you on the ship

if you have a waiter or a spa therapist or something that has done an amazing job it's just good to give them cash it's all a sales tactic

be nice to all the crew members because you don't know when you are going to need us
