    Awww. I could hear my voice when you were doing the luggage check at security. We’re just looking for ship property in the bags. You’d be surprised how many people try and take towels and pillows home with them.

    Hi Krista I am so happy that I found you. lol. I just signed my offer letter last Wednesday. I couldn't be more excited. Hawaii is my absolute happy place. I love to travel and go on cruises. I have so many questions. But I don't want to through them all at you. I'm sure my recruiter well assist me. Just curious about the process and how long it all takes to do the background and medical . Thank you. Any advice you can give would be appreciated

    My ? Is after we go home on vacation when do they send you an email about your 2nd contract my job is utility hotel says regular on the job board so idk if that means I have a job waiting after 5 weeks of vacation for the same ship or if I have to wait longer then 5 weeks to come back when space opens up or if they will send me to a different ship

    Hey Krista… are Kona beers available at the crew bar or is it just your typical US domestics? Bud light, Coors light etc.?

      Currently they are short staffed so things have been tough but it was getting better as I left. The food in the mess was ok some days better than others 😅 and it has to be 75% American!

    Hi Krista, what is your position on the ship? They've been recruiting me as an AB (able seaman) and just wondering what ship life is like there. I've been sailing on tankers and cargo ships for the last few years and am looking to change it up!

      @gamehengeful Год назад

      @@krista.jocelyn Hey! Thanks for the reply. My daily life would be similar to an AB on any type of ship. I was just curious what amenities there are for crew. I'm used to bare bones: one computer for crew to check email and what not, maybe a lounge where you can watch movies, etc. I'm guessing it's a little better with so many crew? Also do crew always sign on in Hawaii or the west coast or what?
