Crew Get Their Own Excursions in Port

Editorial Summary

The creator explains how cruise line employees occasionally receive organized excursions during their time off. While crew members do not receive traditional days off, the cruise line sometimes arranges specific trips, such as a previous visit to NASA or a recent trip to a mall in Orlando. The creator notes that Port Canaveral is a difficult location for crew members because there are few amenities within walking distance, often requiring expensive rideshare services or local ministry vans to reach stores. For this specific excursion, the crew departed by bus at 8:00 in the morning. Many employees were tired because they had worked past midnight. The group had three hours to complete their shopping, splitting the time between outlets and a mall. The creator used the time to purchase a computer and a watch. While the creator was able to nap after returning to the ship due to a night shift schedule, most crew members had to return to work immediately upon their arrival.
