Creator's Key Takeaways

working on a cruise ship is very very different to working on land

embarkation day is the busiest day of the whole entire cruise

sea days are really important for cruise ships because as I said it's where they make their money

port days if you are at work are usually a lot more relaxed because there's a lot less passengers to serve

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be fresh and prepared for embarkation day, as it's the busiest day.
Focus on making money on sea days, as passengers spend more then.
Use port days for maintenance and quieter tasks if you're working.

YouTube Video Description

Hey sailors Working on a cruise ship is very different to working on land. You won’t get a weekend off work or even be able to organise your week by using the days of the week. Your new calendar will read embarkation day, sea day, port day, tender port and these will be your new days of the week. However if you haven’t worked on a ship before, you won’t know what these days involve so that’s what I’m going to go through in this video, because the sooner you get to grips with how it works, the better. Hopefully this video will help you make sense of what these days involve, and as a crew member, what you can expect.
