Your video doesn't show any of the aspects of life on the cruise ship.You should have talked to the crew members instead of officers and cruise industry experts that have no clue about todays conditions of life and work onboard. I worked onboard a ship for 7 months as a slave and i was forced to humble everyday towards demanding spoiled passangers who care only about what's for dinner/lunch /breakfast. They hardly go out in ports.They produce a lot of waste and pollution,
Very interesting documentary. Congratulations. We had shared it on our page as it should be shown to all crewmembers or to people willing to work as a crew onboard Cruise Ships. And, for all those who loves Ships Life, join us at wwwcruiselikercom. Happy New Year to all of you!
I really would like to get to know some of the people that work on board a ship. I am still working on the paperwork part of getting ready. hoping to ship aboard maybe in Dec. would be cool if i can get a chance to get to someone before i came on board to show me the ropes. i am on face book. look me up if or when you have the time dianafuller. peace for now.
@89pile People that seek work on the ships are aware of the situation they are getting themselves into. Perhaps you need to learn the definition of "slavery". Are they on the ship with guns held to their head? No. Are they free to leave anytime? Yes. So STFU. I'm about to start my first 8 month contract and am fully aware of what I am getting into.
@knurri dud....im tellling you about my own exp....you will so for your self after 3rd month XD....still im going back to the ship...for one more contract after that im going to find some hotel abroad...better pay and work hours. Still slavery part depends on departmant your working in. I work as a cook.. 6 month contract every day 13h not a single day of or a sick day. Physically its not a problem, but mentaly you crack up. No time to go out side, only in closed space with no windows.
@89pile- did you have the option of leaving if you didn't like the job?Yes.Did you stay even though knowing the conditions? Yes. No sick day? I doubt it- especially when working with food. I guess that is how Norovirus gets started. I don't buy that they made you work when sick.In your 13 hour shift I'm sure you had meal breaks. I currently do 14-16 hour days and I'm not even on a ship. I knew what I signed up for and no one is holding a gun to my head to do the job.
thats the bigest lie i have ever heard i work on the ncl pride of america and it was very dificult to get a long with people since you have to share a cabin with 3 other people sometimes your roomate decide to bring hes or her gir friend over at 3 am and do thire bussiness while you sleep and sometimes you have lazy ass romates who dont like to clean you have to get lucky to get good roomates
Top tip. Ask to take part in a lifeboat capacity test. Usually done once every 3 months a lifeboat is filled to capacity while on the water. Make note of the results.

So what's the reason of there are so many nationality but Americans do you think? Wordpeace? Unity?
balazs111111 5 months ago
@balazs111111 because pay isn't that high. Americans only work as officers, but even that is rare. Even Australians and Brits are rare...
