Creator's Key Takeaways

you don't have to be slim to work on a cruise ship but you do have to be able to pass a medical

it's probably the easiest environment in the world at the moment to save money but there are some factors that will make it more difficult

sharing a cabin and having a roommate is difficult even if you have the best roommate ever there are going to be difficulties along the way

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Be disciplined with spending at the Crew Bar and Crew Shop to actually save money.

✓Learn to swim or at least be comfortable in water to pass safety training (STCW).

✓Have important conversations with your roommate early to establish rules for a peaceful relationship.

✓Treat the job as a career opportunity to work your way up for higher pay rather than just a holiday.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Physical appearance/weight requirements — You don't need to be slim, just healthy enough to pass a medical and handle long hours on your feet.

Sharing a small cabin with a stranger — It can be difficult, but setting roommate rules and being considerate makes it manageable.

Safety/Swimming requirements — While not strictly a requirement for all, you must be able to undergo safety training in water, so learning to swim is highly recommended.
