YouTube Video Description↓

Hey sailors, Working on cruise ships sounds amazing… until you realise you also LIVE with your boss πŸ˜… In this video I talk about the reality of cruise ship managers, crew bar drama, favouritism onboard, constantly changing managers, and why your manager can honestly make or break your entire contract. After working on cruise ships for 10 years, I’ve had some amazing managers… and some absolutely chaotic ones πŸ˜‚ From carrying drunk managers home from crew bar, to feeling like you can never fully switch off from work, this is the side of cruise ship life people don’t really talk about. And honestly? Sometimes people don’t hate cruise ship life… they just had a terrible manager.
