- Hey sailors,
Today I am interviewing Anne-Marie about her job on board Virgin Voyages The Valiant Lady. She has been a Cabin Steward for over 10 years so, we are comparing this company to her previous one and talking about everything that comes with being a Cabin Steward on board a cruise ship.

Thank you for watching
I decided 3 days ago, I will fulfill my dream to work on a cruise, and the same day I found your channel and had a massive marathon since. I can not be enough thankful for the videos. Joining a cruise is very scary and your videos are like the light in the end of the tunnel! Thank you very very much!! (I am really into Virgin Voyages hopefully they will accept my application 🤞🤞)
Same here I just got my first cruise and are going through the hiring process now
@@morganbaldwin4828 please help with the details I want to work in a cruise.Thank you
We met Ann-Marie on our cruise as we were deck 8 and from Ireland. She notice our door magnets and Mr.Tayto in them and that we must have been Irish 🤗
AnnMarie was my cabin host on Valiant - so nice to see her again - she was so wonderful!!!
Love this interview. I sailed as a BR (bedroom steward) cabin class on both the SS Independence and Constitution in the sixties. What a learning experience. In those days, I worked 20 rooms alone and lived in a foc'sle with three other men all from the steward's departments. There were very few women on board and those that were, shall we say, had a hard life. So glad times have changed for the better. Oh, and as an occasional Seabourn traveler these days, the cabin attendants on those ships are amazing. I still keep in touch with a few. Our favorite was a Dutch girl named Jannigje Verhoek. I'm wondering if Anne-Marie ever sailed with her. Fair winds and following seas, ladies.
i really appreciate these interviews, the way you've humanized what goes on behind the scenes is not just interesting, but also a bit of a service!
And there you have 25k subscribers 🥳🥳🥳 Well done, and well deserved, Lucy 🥳💕
Love from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴
Ps interesting interview with someone that has done a so hard job for so many years, that is amazing 💪🏻🥰
I remember watching binging on your videos before getting onboard as Fitness for Steiner now onespaworld....I learned so much from your videos and I am happy to say it made my life bit easy from the LWA to the time I got onboard ..keep doing the good job Lucy and all the best
Great insight Thank you Anne-Marie for letting us know what it is like 7 days a week for 6 months is epic workskills.
As someone that has been a cleaner on land (not exactly the same as housekeeping) I can tell you for certain that it's a very hard job. It's very physically demanding as you are allocated such a large space to do in such a short period of time. I have so much respect for this lady and anyone else who has worked or currently works in jobs that require keeping areas. X
Same. My sister’s first job was at a hotel, as a housekeeper. She only lasted a day. Even now, she says that’s the hardest job she’s had to do.
I really appreciate this series and knowing that Virgin seems to treat the crew well. In my two experiences on board, it really shows. I've never cruised another line, so I can't directly compare, but you can just tell when someone feels valued at their job. So grateful to the crew for the hard work they put in to make other folks have a special vacation.
You’re one of the quality vlogging channels worth following.
Really good interview. I found it very interesting. Thank you.
Excellent video! Great information for anyone looking to work on a cruise ship. I guess the good news for difficult passengers is that you only have to put up with them for a short time. I just don't understand why people want to be mean or nasty when they are on vacation. The employees are wonderful on every cruise that we've been on. Why would I be a jerk? Anyway we appreciate all you do. Thank you!
because people think they are special.... and sadly, people think that they are 'above' the cabin stewards
Thanks 4 the interview, I hv learnt alot,I do admire to work with crues ship as a housekeeper. Plz can u assist me in this?
Awesome Lucy🌷《☆》Ann Marie is a fine looking Irish lass♡👍💛♡Nice interview ladies🍺🍕I imagine if someone works Housekeeping long enough they will see unforgettable & unfortunate things🙏Smooth Sailing Y'all🖖😎☮
This video was brilliant! Thank you so much for taking the time to interview someone from Housekeeping.
You did a great job on this interview Lucy! Loved it!
Having you been looking up techniques from other interviewers?
I always tip housekeeping 🙂🙂
That was an incredible insight into aspects of cruise staff lives, as are other vlogs in this series. How people work, what motivates them and mundane (but vital) issues like conditions and pay are very interesting. I am so pleased that Virgin pay a decent wage to their staff. It is inspiring me to try a Virgin voyage one day although I have some reservations about whether it would suit us. Our favourite lines so far are Scenic, Regent and Viking Expedition cruising but you never know. Keep up the good work.
Thanks to the both of you 💖 Have a great day!
This was really helpful and it looks legit. Thank you for this interview!
Great content. We really wanted to know what a specific role really does inside a Cruiseship. Thank you so much for sharing. More power and stay safe.
Great to see some Irish representation! A question - what can sailors/guests do to make a cabin host’s life easiest (apart from leaving cabins in time)? I always wonder this when I’m in hotels - hoping to take my first cruise in the next year or two :-)
I would say 'don't be a slob' you may be on vacation -- but clean up after yourself and don't leave an unusual mess!
to leave tips
Great interview. What a lovely lady. It’s clear she loves her job!
Really Nice Interview. I'm Houskeeping new HIRE .Just wait for my embakation day. Congrats.
Hi gentlemen I am working in doha qatar on island but i am looking for cruise ship
What advice you would like to give me so that i can get cruise job while doing my actual job
my admiration for the housekeeping lady 🙋
lucy...Stumbled across your channel and love it. Been binge watching. Question for Ann Marie. As a passenger what can I do to make your job easier? I always keep our room tidy (same when at a hotel) but is there anything else? Regarding tips...I haven't cruised Virgin yet, and I always leave a nice tip for our room steward/host. Are there any other goodies that you could suggest giving (in addition to a tip of course)? Would it be insulting to ask them if I could get them something in port (a special treat/candy etc.)?
Don't know if you did this video because I asked last week but thanks. How do the staff deal with disinfecting covid cabins which I sadly went down with and was locked in for a week?
Enjoyed the interview. When I cruise I try to take something special to leave my cabin Stewart at the end of my cruise. I usually bring some kind of chocolates for them. I would love to know what kind of gifts they would like to get.
Money is always appreciated
12:20- "oh god what was my original question."
Lucy you are hilarious 😂
One thing that surprised me here, is that there is no indication of room occupancy at the outside of the rooms, while these are decently new ships. We cruised in MSC Grandiosa recently and there were lights above the rooms, indicating if someone was in.
Love It! Congrats for your high quality vídeo! Could you Tell us something about medical secretary on board?
Thank you for now! Love
Hi more interviews please listening to the interview was a real pleasure and learned a lot.
Nice interview and thanks for the information. I have a crush on Ann Marie.
You look really good. Nice interview
I want to ask you ladies - is there any chance of an older person getting hired to work in housekeeping? I have a tremendous amount of experience on land, but I never get any kind of reply (other than rejection) when I've applied for a cruise line. Do they only hire young, beautiful women? lol What's your take on this?
Life on cruise ships is utterly hecktic. No day-offs for you whole contract and you are a sailor as well and have duties and training you have to be fisically fit to do so.
@@heidibreckenridge9131 I used to be a competitive power lifter and martial artist. I can still take you, Heidi. ✨😂✨
I'm interested how do I go about it
@@auntlynnonline6206 as a younger person who has worked as a cleaner the older women I worked with were superheros their work ethic was fantastic 👏 to clean you need to be physically fit and if you've done it for ages you'd be fit as a fiddle. I hope you have more luck in the application process. 😄🌼
Hi there Lucy! Thanks for your videos, they´re the best out there! Pretty PLEASE, could you make one video with the medical staff, doctors, nurses and so on? Me and my husband want to work on the ships as doctors but it´s SO hard finding good informatve videos and information online. Did I say, pretty please? :D Have a great day!!
Excellent interview. The interviewee is being Very Diplomatic!!! PERSONALLY, I think you SHOULD tip your service staff IN CASH if you can possibly afford it. (Even a paltry 10/20 Euro per week isn't going to bankrupt anybody who's already on a cruise!!!) Not only does this show appreciation, but it ALSO might make service staff go JUST A LITTLE BIT FURTHER in accommodating you if you have a specific or even unusual request. (Not that they wouldn't anyway, of course, but they'll be KEENER to do that if they know their co-operation is valued and regarded.) If EVERY GUEST/SAILOR/CABIN did this then this VERY hard-working young woman gets a few extra shillings (???) to supplement their pay-cheque each week. Again, this will encourage the staff to be more engaging with you and POSSIBLY encourage them to share a few 'hints and tips' that might enhance your experience. Also, experienced staff (like this young woman) develop Very Quickly a kind of 'Sixth Sense' in exactly the manner in which they might engage an individual guest/group/couple. Some people appreciate a bit of friendly chat, others not quite as much... EITHER WAY, a CASH GRATUITY lets workers know that their efforts are not being overlooked or taken for granted, whatever way the individual might choose to relate with them. (Incidentally, I'm NOT a service worker but I was once and nowadays I ALWAYS TIP service-staff. That's NOT ABOUT expecting better/preferential service, it's just the right thing to do!) xx SF
Hey. Could you please do an interview with crew that have hearing impairment?
when we cruise, there are a couple day when we will decide to just stay in the room all day. we tell houskeeping when we see them to skip our room for that day. is this something houskeeping likes or is it a problem? they work so so hard and just want to help them have less to do if possible.
Does she do the folding towels into animals? If so, what's her favorite animal to make?
Please do interview to a housekeeping Filipina lady. Nimfa Torres.. she's onboard on that ship.
Thank you so much Lucy 💛 you are the best 🙏🏼💛
Nice interview
If you can do more interviews with fellow crew it would be great.
great video. I will be joining Princess Cruises soon as Youth staff. Please Lucy, kindly interview someone from Youth staff
Thank you for your videos. I would love to see an interview with a Rockstar Agent or Roadie!

If you start housekeeping with your first contract, because of no experience, do you have a choice to select a new job next time?
Excellent interview!

This was a great insight to the ship could you interview with a cook of any level next?

One question comes to mind, what about the language barrier with so many colleges that don’t speak English.

Great video! How do you set up sea terraces for 3 people in one room?

Hey Louise .. do you have crusie staff positions on Virgin? When I watched a Tv show about VV it looked like the cast members where doing the hosting .. but If so, where would I apply?
as she mentioned on the video -- she went to the website
Hey
It was nice to get a information from it.
But what are the salary for Steward or cabin Host she didn't said in the video.
And is there any Cross training from Housekeeping department to Security department? If a person is having a background from Security?
it would be inappropriate to discuss her salary on a YT video .....
@@emmib1388 Alright !!!! Thank you 🥰
Think about the person doing your head job!
If you miss the toilet with urine or puke, try to clean up after yourself.
Can you do interview with chef or cook
Listen, even if the ship says don’t leave a tip. Do not be a cheapskate. Leave a tip. Same if you go to a restaurant, or a hotel. Don’t justify your cheapness. Leave a tip.
Yea Ireland. Land of Allie Sherlock
Housekeeping came in while I was having sex on a MSC cruise.
