Since the vast majority of the crew are housekeepers, food service, etc., it’s nice to see you mention them. I’ve watched a lot of these crew videos and they are pretty much always someone in the entertainment department. I have been on several cruises as a passenger but I am also a professional stagehand and have known a number of performers who have worked cruise ships. Sometime though, I would like to see a video made by one of the food service, housekeeping or custodial staff to see how their life is different from the entertainment staff, beyond the obvious difference of the actual work they do.

I worked on Cruise ships in my 20’s, back in the 1990’s. I worked in the gift shops and then as a Cruise Staff Host for a total of 4 years, usually for between 6-9 months per contract. As the shop manager I had my own cabin which was great! You’ve done a fantastic & comprehensive job explaining what life is really like onboard. For me, it was a great opportunity to travel the world and experience unique places while meeting some wonderful people. Thanks for this.

Absolutely love this! I'm preparing myself to cruise and your video took off some of the ruges doubts i got right now

Wow! I never new couples could actually work and share a room as crew members ❤

I really enjoy vids on cruise ships. This was really interesting to watch. I never plan on taking a cruise. Not my style of travel but I think it’s the inner workings of a little city that intrigues me.

It is good to see these videos and know there are people who actually live in the depths of the ship who are the backbone of the entire operation. It is one thing to see the crew, shows and entertainment while not thinking about where crew go when the cameras and the crowds are gone. Not a job for the fainthearted or those who always think 'Titanic' whenever they see a ship... any ship even a cargo ship... also, the fact that Enchantment of the Seas is still sailing in 2023 is itself a miracle.

Really good behind the scenes video! Watched a couple other crew who are performers and KZfaqrs and they never give this much detail!

Excellent and informative video.

Your videos are amazing for other performers! Thank you!!!!!!

People go on cruises to have that magical vacation/holiday. You don't think about what goes on in areas the guests can't access or how all these crew people live when they're not working. And I guess that's kind of the point of a magical vacation, to forget the little things, but I find the behind the scenes stuff fascinating (like the Disney World underground tunnels) and I think a lot of the stuff you shared here should give cruisers a better understanding and some appreciation for the crew who make that fantasy on the higher decks possible. We appreciate the hard work and sacrifice you crew folks make (being away from friends and family for long periods of time) to give the guests that memorable experience and let them forget the real world for a little while. Thank for sharing. Well done video.

Very great video,and also helpful for the person that had is first time ,that works in Cruise board.

Thanks krista that was really interesting ❤ awesome video ❤

brilliant insight. thanks :)

Can you do a tour of the theatre/backstage and of the ship generically? Maybe a look at more of the crew areas? So glad I found your channel!!

I was on the last sailing of the enchantment out of Baltimore in April and the shows were awesome thank you

your skin looks great, like glowing!!!!

You gained a new subscriber 💪, great content! Sending tons of good vibes from Winnipeg 😎

Love your videos so much🤩 Can you please do an interview style video with your cast with each of them telling their process of how they got a contract with royal whether it was in person auditions or online submissions/online call backs or through their agent? How many times they auditioned before they actually got a contract? and what the audition process was like and advice on how to get a contract? What they wore/hair/makeup to the audition? What types of videos they put up on their royal profile? How much time they waited till they got the offer after attending the audition or submitting videos online? Thank you

Bro.. this was to the point. And entertaining... Interesting.. you don't see that much these days And as im gong on a cruise in a few months. Iv seen a few of you performers do tours. Good job.

I am new to your channel, and I hit the thumbs up. Nice show and explanation of cruise ship.

New follower here! I just disembarked from my first cruise ever and it was with NCL Getaway in the Mediterranean. :) Thank you for providing such insightful knowledge on your life as a cruise ship dancer, it's so interesting! Will continue to follow along this amazing journey of yours! Also, if you don't mind sharing, I just love the way you edit your IG pictures! Is there a particular filter/app that you use? :D

FYI… I was on that ship back in 2002 as a performer. Oh the memories I have.

It seems like a cool life and get to travel the world for free. I almost did it in the late 80s. Paid for the cruise ship jobs book and had my resume ready, but at the last minute I chose college. It still sounds like a cool job though.

Great video!! Can you please discuss in your next video the guest speakers? How are they treated on Oceania and Regent? What are their relationships with the staff and the entertainers? What are their privileges/access in the crew sections of the ship, etc.,etc. Thanks!!

ENCHANMENT OF THE SEAS MY FIRST SHIP I LOVE IT

Vicente here I am on my way to part of being crew member talk about training thank you

I watched a documentary on cruise ships. You know what makes a cruise profitable are alcohol sales. Most of the cabin money goes to food etc. You make decent money at 700 a week take home. Nice to see the world. Last April was the first time I left the US. Mexico cruise on carnival at age 49. The juice was horrible.

I worked in the salon 20 years ago. Funny, not much has changed apparently

I have a trip planned in January on the Icon Of The Seas. This will be my third free trip with Royal. I was going to take the Panama trip from Miami to Los Angles but I just can’t get off for 18 days. The best trips I enjoy are going to Alaska or Italy.

Would you make a details video on the cruise ship jobs

Can you please tell/discouss or show the pic of the safety drill 50 questions papers like you shown your safety card and lots of informative papers/poster .i mean what kind of questions they normally ask. Thank you in advanced 😊

yOu need to make a separate video on the safety duty requirements, i was like HUH?

Do you need to know how to swim to work on a ship? Also, I know you touched on this, but are there rules against crew that want to date or "hook up"? I am just curious how they would be able to monitor that. I am sure it happens when you have a lot of adults working together day after day in a confined space.

do you have video for Oceania I will be going there and would like to have more information about this company and all, thank you

Thank You, Beautiful

Very interesting video

Wow, all of this was really interesting. You can be on duty with .04 BAC?? I find that funny!! Not many jobs you can have a drink or 2 in your system while on duty. And, I must have missed a few times that you said "kinda".... because I only counted 10,940 times!! 😁😆

Just stumbled on your channel! My daughter is a musical theatre BFA student so I’ve been learning more about the paths this career may take her. Do you have a musical theatre background as well?

So can u mention something about the security crew pliz

Great video. Questions; (1) in your POA vlogs, you talked about how much the crew get pay, Is Royal salary the same or better? (2) How did you boyfriend enjoyed working on Seabourn? and (3) Did he have to go through a lot of auditions to get the singing job on Royal?

Just ran across your channel. Very interesting to hear the ins and outs from a staff member. I’ve been on 2 cruises as a touring sound company supplying equipment and crew for national tours. Wasn’t much up my alley, but, seeing the behind the scenes of a daily operation was kind of interesting. I really appreciate how you made sure to include all crew and not just the more elite. I agree with your statement about finding and making friends you can count on. I’ve been in the music touring business for over 40 years and I’ve seen a lot of good people quit because they can’t handle being away from friends and family for long periods of time. Thanks for doing this video. I will be watching more to come. Be safe and always enjoy life

Hey Krista .The cruise director is it stil eric lopez.He was on my cruise last September to canda.I thought he was great CD

Cabin inspection? I'd make sure my cabin looked like beirut. :P

I'm still 15 years old. My brother will be working on a cruise ship in like 3 months. I am having interests to also work in a cruise ship. I would say my english is decent and it would be good enough to do daily conversations (English is not my first language). But i do have my concerns so if any crews or former crews are here, your help would mean a lot. So first, what are the medical checkups to work in a cruise ship? I personally have some concerns. I have some crooked teeth and also have keratosis Pilaris (Both of which are fixable but won't be easy haha). Second, I am worried about one major thing, and that is my social life. As a teen who spent a huge portion of my life in my home with very little social life because of Covid. I stutter quite a lot when saying repetitive words. I always say those words too fast so it almost becomes hard to know what I'm saying Third, i am an introvert. Even though I'm not badly introverted, sometimes during a conversation i don't know what to say or what to choose the topics of the talks are Fourth, How is the daily expenses on cruise ships? I know the food and cabins are free, but how is the other stuffs like Wifi, and etc? Especially that I'm looking to work as a food service which have a low pay compared to others Lastly, what is the work time? What is the time you spend at work daily? I've heard that sometimes it's around 8-16 hours a day and 7 days a week which is quite a lot but still manageable So yeah, that's about it, if anyone's reading this please give some advice haha

What does a day of work typically look like for a performer? What time do you clock in/out? Other duties besides safety and performing?

Can you please tell us more about the activities and the schedule as Youth Staff ? I will soon start as this position for MSC Cruises and I would be greatful to have more info.

How are you doing & you look really good.

Hi, thanks for sharing the whole of your day in details in the video. So grateful for you!! This definitely answers many of the questions in my head but there definitely few other questions left unanswered. 1. How the life of an employee would look like? Currently I am applying for jobs in Cruise ships as a dancer mainly trained in latin dance forms like Salsa and Bachata. I am a micro influencer too on Instagram. So will I be able to record videos for my content there, will I also have access to gyms and yoga/dance studios to keep up with my fitness and dance practices. 2. Are we allowed to communicate within our dance community? Thanks Alley, waiting for your response Best Regards Yukti

I'm fixing to aboard the Norwegian what are some things I need to know I'm in food and beverage

I just found your channel. I want to work for royal once I graduate college to be part of the youth staff. I never see videos of crew mentioning that department. Could you talk a little more on what you know about that?

Hi Krista! Do you know if Royal still has a blanket vaccine requirement for crew? I’m sure they still have it for some destinations, but didn’t know if more “domestic” travel crew doesn’t have the requirement anymore. Thank you!

Which crew are able to go into guest areas? Activity hosts?

Just how many what it’s really like to be a crew member of a cruise ship videos are needed to keep the earth spinning. OMG people.

Your voice tone reminds me of Kylie Jenner! Absolutely love your page! I was really considering working on a cruise ship....but then I got pregnant lol😂❤❤❤

What experience is needed to work on a cruise ship

can you change work duties on the ship if you dont like where you are working but want to do something different maybe you signed up to do 1 job but you dont like it and maybe you think another job might be for you, also can crew go to the casino, or is there a casino in staff/crew area???

Question. If you have a family emergency at home can you get leave or do you have to resign? Or is it like the military that you have to stay there.

Hi! Im graduating high school at the end of this year and i really want to work on a cruise ship next year. Me and my boyfriend are looking at working with NCL so any tips on how we could apply and what we would need will be so so so appreciated. I do have a few questions if you dont mind me asking lol: 1) Would we need any job expierence to start working on the ship? we arent entertainers and looking at working anywhere else (bar, waiters, shop, housekeepers etc) 2) Would it be possible for NCL to take both me and my bf or is that rare where they hire 2 people at once? 3) How could me and my boyfriend request a room togther with NCL if we happened to start working there, would we even be able to because we have been dating for almost 3 years but havent lived together because we are in highschool ? 4) Any other information will be appreciated as we really really want to work on the ships and feel a bit lost on what we could maybe need since we are finding it hard to get information on how to start etc. thank you so much! we really appreciate any form of help!
