(Pandemic) Day 6 Onboard | Cruise Industry Shutdown

Editorial Summary

Chris, a crew member working in the casino department on a Royal Caribbean ship, provides an update on life onboard during the cruise industry shutdown. He describes the morning routine of sanitizing crew cabins, which involved using sprays and wipes on surfaces such as tables, wardrobes, and handles to maintain hygiene. As he prepares to leave the ship in a few days to return to the UK, Chris discusses the process of packing his belongings and organizing what to keep or discard. He reflects on his career, noting that while the fast paced nature of working on a large cruise ship often makes it easy to take the experience for granted, the current period of stillness has allowed him to appreciate his global friendships and the life changing nature of his job. He also addresses viewer questions regarding crew dining, explaining that while crew members have access to free food in the crew mess, he chooses to pay for restaurant meals to enjoy the full service before returning home. He concludes by mentioning his upcoming plans to eat at a steakhouse and his anticipation of the repatriation process.
