The sailing experiences have been part of the lives of many rich and famous people who have found their refuge in their yacht towards relaxation, fun and passion. Each yacht represents the personality of its owner and her history.

The industry is certainly growing. Ships with 4,500 passengers and 2,000 crew are being planned. The International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) believes this expansion means that employers should be emphasising skills training and professionalism. That would benefit all – crew, passengers and companies – far better than squeezing every last drop out of a resentful workforce, and then having to keep on re-recruiting.

Qsine: The Inspiration.

Each crew member working on cruise ship has an extraordinary life story to share. Crew members are unique breed of people who life on land and life at sea taught them to be strong, smart, pleasant and companionate. One crew member is inspiring thousands with his passion of life on cruise ship and his book “My Way to the Seven Seas”. His name is Martines Rocha de Souza, a Brazilian bar waiter working on Cunard Line.

Every ship has a captain, but on larger percentage on the ships in the cruise industry captains are of the male gender. It has been the truth as old as time, men overpopulate the majority of the higher paying positions around the world and this position has not been any different for as long as the cruise industry has existed. It seems that this old-fashioned way of thinking has been shifting lately since the cruise industry slowly is incorporating female captains into their fleets.

There are three classes on board a cruise ship: officers, staff and crew. First two classes can eat in almost every dining venue on cruise ship. The third class –crew are allowed to eat only in crew mess, however this doesn’t mean that this class eats bad even if the food in crew mess is disaster. I believe that this class eats even better than officers and staff. 

It's Saturday and I joined the cruise ship today. I am already exhausted from the trip. I look at around my crew cabin as I type this, staring at the four walls of this closet size space with four beds. Soon my cabin roommates will be off work so I am glad I was able to take a shower before they get back. Four beds, one bathroom, one tv, one other Canadian, a Philipino, and a Romanian Romanian. I can't remember their names yet. The Romanian roommate seemed stuck up as hell. In fact, so did most of the Romanian girls I met today on the ship.

In recent years, the cruise ship industry has been facing many lawsuits filed by their guests. Some of them are justified, but there are some passengers that go on a cruise with the intention of using the cruise company. There are many cases of injuries and other ways that some passengers try to benefit and get big money from the cruise lines. Sometimes these people succeed in their intention, other times they don't.

What is important for you as a crew member is that you need to be covered before you end up back home, or even worse, in prison.

At all times projects a favorable image of the Cruise Company to promote its aims and objectives and foster and enhance public recognition and acceptance of all its areas and endeavor

Public Speaking/ Guest introduction. Before approaching your guest  on cruise ship you should have an idea in your mind of what you want to say, and it should be: Short, Polite and Formal.
