Side comment: I love how you put everyone's homeland flag next to their names. I love that detail. Also "deep seated fear that I'm not good enough for anything else" hit a little too close to home

This, hands down, has to be my favorite video format of yours. It’s so neat and different than your usual videos. Keep it up!

I worked on Royal Caribbean ships in 2001-2003... So many great times but remember we don't take pictures of the tough times. Enjoy your time. My advice.... Take it in and enjoy it. Stay loyal to your values, fight for love, and know that leaving cruise life is a challenge because life isn't fun. But don't be afraid of the future....Thanks for sharing.

10+ years crew member here, now working from shoreside in operations and recruiting. Am constantly looking at crew vlogs, instagrams, tiktok, you name it... this material is great, and am definitely sharing it with our candidates.

Camera quality on point and very cool to see other crew member perspectives!
