You missed musician for easiest job! 4hrs of work a day, explore every port, good pay relative to other jobs, and can sleep until 4pm everyday if you want

I always thought the housekeeping (room steward) had a hard job. We always give them an extra tip. I never realized that security had such a difficult job, but now I will appreciate these men and women much more now. Excellent video!

Could you make a video about bad weather on cruise ships, like what happens with extremely bad weather and experiences you might have, btw love the vids.❤️

Being a chef on land, I've worked for 12hrs (with power breaks ) for year's. 16hrs during peak festivals. I can relate, but on board it is completely different as compared to working on land. There are less room for errors. I have many friends working as chefs on cruises some a paid really well, some not so much.
Ps. I'll be boarding my cruise journey soon, so thanks for the heads up.

Thank you for recognising the Security Team, I hope the cruise line owners will notice your video and maybe hear the situation of their crew. Stay safe and see you soon, hopefully and all will be well, will be working with VV also. :)

I just came off a Carnival cruise and my stateroom attendant had 35 rooms, the guy down the hall said he had 37. I was shocked.

[heidibreckenridge]

Totally agree, I worked as a "Shopie" as you do and totally enjoyed it.

I have the hardest job on the ship...Wow Thanks for the love...
Along with the Junior Engineers, we are also shipboard firefighters, medical first responders, mooring line handlers and most important, we drive the ship and ensure that we don't hit anything at sea like icebergs, big rocks, and other ships.
Other hard jobs that don't get enough credit: The Electricians. Keeping the ship well-lit is no accident...

I was a bartender on Cunards QE2 from 1987-89, we were paid $900 a month plus a split of the 18% grat shared with the other bartenders as some worked service bars behind the scenes in the kitchen. With gratuity we made $2500-$3500 a month which was decent back then as room & meals included so little to no expenses. We worked on average 10hrs a day, say 10-2 then 6-12 depending on which bar you were working with decent time off in ports. Contracts back then much shorter than today, only 3mth on 1 off versus today's of up to 9 months on then 2 off. No security cameras then so many times we would end up in passenger cabins😉💋💕, or they would attend crew parties in crew cabins the norm, if caught just a slap on the wrist as the officers were doing the same thing, today you get fired if caught doing that. We certainly had it better then, different times & different attitudes to many things...

So one of the places I’ve worked as a chef was a golf and country club that also did large banquet meals and honestly it was almost exactly the same as what you described as cruise chefs. I was working from 9-3:30 and then I was back at around 6 sometimes until 12-1. Now the place I was at only had me and one other chef so we were making three course meals for up to 210 people sometimes night after night (effectively 630 plates of food). Now doing that while at sea seems like a whole new hell although I’d assume it would be paid better than I was.

Working in a Pot wash and dish wash also a very hard job i must say.i works in valiant lady .i have seen these people and they are unstoppable.

[kabeer]

Greetings from Perú ❤️ I love your channel. I'm going to work as a sales Associate on NCL with dufry.. My first contract. I'm nervous and excited.

[katdenning]

Easiest: Art Specialist/sales. Have a friend on Norwegian who used her art degree to work onboard & said it was the easiest money she ever made doing sales. At entry level she made six-figures in base salary & commissions.

I would love a video on an activity host/cruise staff job!!! Love the video as always

[brontewcat]

Our steward had 16 or so cabins. However, quite a few passengers elected to have them cleaned only once a day. Also when passengers caught COVID, he couldn’t enter the cabin while they were isolating. So for him passengers getting COVID was a bit of a blessing.

Can you make a video for first timers like the interviews what to prepare and everything else necessary

[jeffreymacdonald]

I an a federal Vivian mariner and i enjoy watching your videos when i am doing my midnight shifts when not much is going on….

[Wayne-cjfn]

Just love the way you explain everything.
Your interpersonal skills are impressive.
I'm now planning a trip in a "rockstar" cabin or better as I haven't had a holiday for 35 years and was a bit wary of the cruising 'Scene' as I had heard quits a few negative reports.
I will be travelling alone so I can just relax and have other people cook for me etc.
Thank you and keep up the great work.
