Creator's Key Takeaways

Doing laundry on a cruise ship as a crew member is particularly rubbish because you have to do it in your time off which you don't get much of

The unpredictability of it can be really hard to navigate sometimes and you are definitely kept on your toes

Working on ships can be quite isolating because you are away from home and everything outside of that cruise ship kind of falls away

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Build strong relationships and friendships with other crew members to combat isolation.

✓Communicate with roommates early if you are not compatible to try and arrange a cabin switch.
