Creator's Key Takeaways

there is no port left in the bottle so port is left

when I worked on Royal Caribbean an American cruise line it was called the i-95

I was probably I p.m. maybe once every two weeks so it doesn't happen very often

a crew member you normally get to go up on the bridge and meet the captain

Creator's Tips & Advice

Remember that port is left and starboard is right using the phrase 'no port left in the bottle'
Use 'deck' instead of 'floor' or 'level' when referring to ship levels

YouTube Video Description

Hey sailors When working on a cruise ship you will be open to a whole new set of words. As well as learning your job role, learning your way around the ship and learning the safety procedures onboard, you will also have to learn, effectively, a new language. In aims to make this a little easier for you, in today's video I go through some of the words you will hear on board and what they mean. When I first joined a cruise ship I had no idea what all this meant, so I spent a lot of time being confused as I was shy to ask someone. So just in case, you are in the same situation as I was, here you go…the basics of the weird and wonderful cruise ship language.
