Everybody lies. Everyone tells lies or “distorts the truth” sometimes. Some cruise ship crewmembers are big experts in lying that you cant tell if they are telling the truth and often takes a long time to find out that we have been lied to.

Letter from crew member Marcin Martin.

As a crew member on board a cruise ship you will find people from all over the world with different characters. Sharing this small space of working and living environment, people are not only categorized by crew, staff and officers but also with their individual characteristics. 

Clearly not all crew can be categorized by this list. While a lot of them fit into the categories, remember to recognize everyone and celebrate the differences together with the similarities.

More often than not I am asked about my time on cruise ships.  I look back on 2007 with the rose-tinted glasses of time and nostalgia.  I remember the bad times and how terrible I felt for about half my contract but the positive memories make me desire to return.  Below is a standard response I intend to direct someone to if they ask me about my time on the ship when they're considering a job onboard a cruise ship.

If you’re a bit the worse for wear from the night before, the best way to survive a full on sea day from hell is to:

1. Set 2 alarm clocks to make sure you don’t oversleep, which is easily done as most crew cabins are below the waterline and have no port holes or natural daylight. 

2. Go and have breakfast, even if you don’t want it, you need to eat something and drink several cups of coffee to wake yourself up.

Cruise lines offer internet for crew members by online access from crew internet café and Wi Fi access. Crew can use onboard wi fi access per minute or they can buy pre-paid cards which can be used for as long as they have minutes left. Most of the time crew internet is very slow and sometimes is super slow however you will pay per minute not by data transfer.

When Royal Princess debuts in June, the ship will attract attention for its many striking features, including a soaring atrium and the dramatic over-the-water SeaWalk. But what may escape immediate notice are the myriad of unique innovations throughout the ship that will enhance the Princess Cruises experience that cruisers have come to know and love.
