Creator's Key Takeaways

you would write letters and then you would post them at a post office and then you would wait for turnaround day

you had to go down the corridor to a communal area which had showers and toilets

most deliveries were put on the dock and you had to manually carry it up a gangway which was one person wide

we had a place on a princess ship called the ward room which was for officers and being retail staff we were a half an officer

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make sure you're showering twice a day for personal hygiene
Be accommodating to roommates from different cultures
