Creator's Key Takeaways

in the cruise ship industry nothing is ever foreign ever set in stone and that is what we are going to talk about today

it's easier to go with the flow when you haven't built up a huge expectation of it

you need to email your recruiter and say please make sure that I am on the embarkation list of that cruise line

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Email your recruiter to ensure you are added to the ship's embarkation list to avoid communication disconnects.

✓Double check flight landing times to ensure you have enough time to reach the ship before departure.

✓Request flights for the night before joining the ship rather than the morning of to avoid missing the ship due to delays.

✓Check the new ship's itinerary on Cruise Mapper to ensure you have packed appropriate clothing for the climate.

✓Research your ship to know what to pack, but avoid building up massive expectations to prevent disappointment.

Being unable to argue a ship change — As a new crew member, you must follow instructions; you can only request or suggest changes after completing one or two contracts.

Packing for the wrong climate — Check the new itinerary on Cruise Mapper immediately to ensure you have the correct clothing for the new region.
