Hey sailors, CHECK OUT MY WEBSITE: https://www.cruisingascrew.com/ Getting promoted onboard a cruise ship is a huge achievement. Better pay, more responsibility, possibly a single cabin, and a clear sign that your company sees potential in you. But becoming a manager onboard also comes with a big adjustment period that people do not always talk about. In this video, I’m sharing what actually changes when you move from being part of the team to managing the team. We’ll talk about the good parts of being promoted, but also the more difficult parts, including team dynamics, favouritism, boundaries, difficult conversations, being respected vs being liked, and why being great at your old job does not automatically make management easy. This video is for anyone who has just been promoted onboard, wants to become a manager one day, or is trying to understand what leadership is really like on cruise ships. I’m not here to ruin your parade. Getting promoted is exciting and you should absolutely be proud of yourself. I just want you to feel prepared for the transition, because if it does not feel amazing straight away, that does not mean you are bad at the job. It means you are learning a new level. βš“ Want to work on cruise ships?
