YouTube Video Description

Hey Sailors, If you are going to work on cruise ships then most likely, you will have to share a cabin with someone. Unfortunately, you don’t always end up living with a person that you are compatible with. Sharing a cabin is very different than sharing a house because, for starters, a cabin is the size of most people's bathrooms and the other person may be from the opposite side of the world, have religious differences, or just enjoy a completely different way of living to you. Most of my roommates have been great but, there were a few that I found hard to live with. Having had 11 roommates over the past 4 years I’ve spent working on cruise ships, I have managed to learn a thing or two. In this video, I share my experience with difficult roommates and give advice on how to deal with awkward living situations. This video will be a great watch if you are thinking of working on a cruise ship or, maybe you currently work on cruise ships but are struggling to cope with your current roommate, and need some friendly advice. I hope the advice helps you sort things out with your roomie. Let me know in the comments if it does.
