    Have you ever thought about writing your own novel in your down time? Not seeing the sun for days must be tough. Maybe you and the team could set up an online funding page for internet packages, thats outrageous that they just don't give you free wifi. (I know you can't comment and don't). I know on Celebrity, it ws like $35 per day per device for guests. Also Hello to Eve, Tassie, LJ, Claudia and sorry I forgotten some names but hello to the gang.

    The free time is real. As a musician we have a lot of free time compared to other positions, but it’s also not easy to fill it while you are stuck in a tiny cabin in the middle of the ocean, as you said. However grateful I am for the small amount of mandatory performing hours, free time and mental health is something serious and not to be taken lightly. I have even friends onboard from others departments that told me they would literally go crazy if they had so much free time on board. Thanks for bringing this point up.

    Ah it's good to be back another super informative VLOG. I have loads to share with you. Born Alert..... I love to watch the Royal caribbean channel on the TV in the stateroom .Guess what popped up last week " the making of " The Effectors " 2021 the original cast. Armed with the knowledge that you kindly shared with us made this program so much more interesting. Also on Anthem of the Seas July 2024 was a show called " The Gift " ????????? looks very similar to your show " The Beautiful Dream " ?????? I know you probably have answered this one but how many contracts has Eve had ? Thank you so much for the VLOG 🍀Seamus 🍀

    Can you go to the pool and other guest areas during your downtime?

    • @kristinekugler
      @kristinekugler  18 дней назад

      We’re allowed to go in the pools if there’s less than 5 people in it and there are a bunch of rules with which guest areas we’re able to go to and what time we can go there so yes it depends!

    Very nice to watch as your braids would change from 2-1 & side to side 😂 Suggestion, Can you work towards a Dance Captain position which brings more responsibilities & a larger single cabin? If you decide on a 3rd contact with RCCL. Last request, is it possible for you to load some of the other RCCL Shows that you have? If they have been shot in a more professional way than the average guest videos that aren’t always very complete😢 Those Shows would get you more Views & a possibility of more Subscribers to your RUclips channel & you could always start a additional channel of just RCCL Shows for additional revenue in the future.

    Hey Kristine
    I find your videos so interesting. Me and my husband love to cruise and holiday this way!
    I recently just returned from a cruise it was only a short one of 4 days but we had to abort our port due to bad weather so never got off the ship, the two days sailing back home were some of the roughest seas I had experienced and our cabin was second from the front of the ship 😅
    I’ve been home now for a few days and still have vertigo.
    Just wondered if you could share whether you have ever experienced sea sickness or vertigo (sea legs vs land legs) and how you might combat it.
    Honestly has been enough to turn me off wanting to do another cruise anytime soon 😢

    of our cruises, we have seen performers eating there (where we ate). Enjoyed talking with a couple of them.
