Creator's Key Takeaways

I would say the first thing you need to do is have that customer service experience even if it's being a shop teller or whatever it is

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Maintain customer service experience in any field to build transferable skills.

✓Improve English language skills as many cruise lines are English-based.

✓Create a 'why I am here' list before a contract to help navigate stressful days.

✓Use open lines of communication to resolve cultural misunderstandings with roommates.
