Creator's Key Takeaways

I had a lot of friends from the previous company who have moved here okay and they were talking about how great of company it is how much more relaxed it is

the best part I guess is the travel okay and I think that's the same for everybody yeah and and meet new people you make very good friendships on the ships

the worst part I guess would be working seven days a week for six months and you're away from your family

you have to be I would say mentally strong because you will come across some difficult Sailors yeah and you have to be flexible especially in housekeeping

Be flexible and a team player in housekeeping
