Creator's Key Takeaways

I have worked for three different cruise lines, Carnival, Norwegian, and Virgin.

relationships on cruise ships 95% of the time, maybe even more, absolutely suck.

most crew members are working every day anywhere between 9 to sometimes 12 hours.

you get no personal space on board a cruise ship most of the time.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Save money while working on board a cruise ship, especially in the first or second contract.
✓Be mindful of relationships and friendships due to limited contracts and potential drama.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

being away from home and family — You will have to play catchup when you return, and it can be overwhelming.
managing finances — Avoid blowing money on excursions and crew bar; start saving from the second contract.
relationships and friendships — Be aware that relationships are transactional and fast-paced; friendships can have drama.
