The Best Perk Working On A Cruise Ship

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator discusses the various benefits of working on a cruise ship, noting that while free food, lodging, and travel are standard advantages, the most significant benefit is the buddy pass. This system allows crew members to bring guests onto the ship at a significantly reduced cost. The creator explains two primary methods for utilizing this perk. One option is available to crew members who share a room, allowing guests to stay in available crew quarters for approximately forty dollars per day, provided the ship is not fully booked. The second and more advantageous option applies to crew members with solo rooms. The creator shares a personal experience where they utilized their solo room to host their mother. Because the room contained a second bed, the guest was able to stay for ten dollars per day. This allowed the guest to experience the full range of cruise amenities that typically cost thousands of dollars for a fraction of the price.
