Creator's Key Takeaways

My heart really goes out to her because there is nothing worse than getting your dream job and then having the rug pulled underneath you.

She only found out that they don't accept internal fixations or pins until 5 years post op.

If you have a long-standing medical condition, before you even think about applying for a job on cruise ships... you should get it checked out.

Why are you not applying for every single cruise line? It's a little bit different if you're applying with a recruitment agency.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Get a letter from your doctor stating you are fit to work on cruise ships before applying.
✓Contact a local ENG1 medical examiner to assess your eligibility early.
✓Apply to multiple cruise lines to increase your chances of getting a job.
