Creator's Key Takeaways

There is nothing worse than getting your dream job and then having the rug pulled underneath you.

90% of it is they're watching their own back because they don't want anything to come back on them for hiring someone with a long-standing illness.

If you have any mental health diagnosis, if you have anything physical going on, get a letter from your doctor saying that you are okay to work on cruise ships.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Get a letter from your specialist/GP confirming you are fit for sea duty before applying if you have a long-standing condition.

✓Consult a local ENG1 medical examiner early in the process to check for potential disqualifiers.

✓Apply to multiple cruise lines and the yachting industry rather than focusing on just one.
