Creator's Key Takeaways

my favorite thing about working in the shops on board cruise ships and if i'm honest the reason that i applied is because of the time off that you get

we get a discount on the merchandise which is kind of good and bad it's great but you're always kind of shopping

it's hard work when i was with steiner i used to look at the sharpies and think oh god you've got it so easy

you are going to work every evening so that means that you won't be able to have any you know nice team meals you probably won't go to shows

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Expect to work every evening when the ship is at sea, so plan accordingly for entertainment and social activities.

✓Take advantage of the time off in port to explore destinations, as this is a major perk of the job.

Limited time to explore ports — Shop staff get all day off when the ship is in port, so you have ample time to explore.

Low base pay — Commission can increase earnings, and you save on living expenses like rent and commute.
