6 Cruise Crew Secrets Kept Well Hidden From Us Passengers!

Editorial Summary

The creator explores several undisclosed aspects of life for cruise ship employees, beginning with the revelation that pay rates often depend on a crew member's country of origin rather than just their role. The video explains that many services, such as spas and medical centers, are operated by third party companies rather than the cruise line itself. This distinction is significant because cruise lines often disclaim responsibility for these employees. The creator also warns potential applicants about scammers who use fake job offers to solicit fees. Regarding working conditions, the video notes that most crew members work seven days a week without days off due to space constraints and cost management. The creator details the financial responsibilities of crew, including paying for passports, vaccinations, and safety shoes, while noting they do not pay for food or medical care for ship related issues. Finally, the video describes the crew living environment as a ship within a ship, where most staff use interior corridors to avoid passenger areas and share small cabins with multiple bunk beds.
