How Many Hours Do I Work? | I Work On A Cruise Ship | Royal Caribbean Crew Vlog

Editorial Summary

The creator provides a detailed look into the working hours and schedules of a Royal Caribbean crew member, comparing two different roles held on board. Initially, the creator worked in the duty and tax free shops, where sea days required shifts lasting over 14 hours. During these shifts, the staff worked from approximately 8:45 a.m. until 11:30 p.m., with limited breaks for lunch and dinner. In contrast, port days in the shops involved significantly fewer hours, typically between five and seven hours. The creator then transitioned to a role as an assistant casino host. While the total number of hours remains similar to the shop role, the timing differs because the casino operates much later into the night. On sea days in the casino, the creator might start in the late morning and work into the early hours of the morning. The video also touches on the emotional challenges of ship life, noting that the demanding schedule can lead to exhaustion and thoughts of quitting. Ultimately, the creator concludes that the experience is a valuable learning opportunity that builds strength and provides a unique global perspective.
