Creator's Key Takeaways

the excitement is definitely a huge Pro and then also there's the fact that there's no passengers now

you're going to come in and Slot straight into a well oiled machine

it's going to be a show and it doesn't matter how well prepared the crew are no one's ever done this before

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Consider your personality when choosing between a new or established ship; new ships offer excitement but higher stress, while established ships offer stability.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Ship assignment — Most first-timers don't get to choose their ship; you just get placed on one and have to deal with it.

Job stress — New ships are more stressful due to lack of established routines, whereas older ships are more 'well-oiled machines'.
