3 Things I Didn't Know Before Working On A Cruise Ship

Editorial Summary

The creator shares three specific insights gained from working aboard a cruise ship. First, the creator explains the redistribution of buffet food, noting that high quality leftovers are often served at a late night meal known as the midnight mess. The quality of this food tends to decrease after the first hour. Second, the creator describes the ship's deck numbering system, clarifying that deck one is not the lowest level. There are lower levels including deck zero, deck negative one, and the tween deck, which sits below the waterline and resembles a submarine environment. Finally, the creator discusses crew living arrangements, stating that most employees share living spaces. These accommodations range from bunk beds in cozy rooms to private rooms that require sharing a bathroom with another person. The creator notes that bathroom doors often have slots at the top and bottom rather than closing fully. Access to more private or superior cabins is determined by a professional pecking order, with engineers, department heads, and cruise directors receiving better accommodations than general crew members.
