    "IT GETS WORSE - [in hushed tone] it gets worse". LOL! So funny! I was once on a Royal Caribbean cruise with my family. Every night before the big show in the theater, there were two funny guys that would warm up the crowd as people were taking their seats. They'd do slapstick comedy. At random, they pulled someone out of their seat (ME!) to come up on the stage in front of 2000 people and make them laugh basically by humiliating me (in a funny way). I played along, and I guess I did it really well, because for the rest of the cruise, other passengers kept on coming up to me to tell me how funny I was and they were convinced I was a crewmember who was part of the act. And my kids thought I was a star! Great memories!

    Given that Serbia is landlocked that would be quite a cruise!
    Glad you enjoyed the Wake on Scarlet Lady. I’ve booked it for 6th August. It looks awesome

    I overlook the shipping lane into Halifax, a major port in Canada. I decided a long time those Harbour Pilots are not paid enough...I don't know what they are paid but when the North Atlantic has a great big sea on and small Harbour boat is trying to get the pilot in close ...there isn't enough money. Terrifying from my nice dry livingroom, can not imagine what it must be like out there.

    Hahaha! Crew talent shows are the best. The ones we did on Disney were epic we got to do it for the guest that was amazing.

    Great videos and fun to watch.
    May I suggest you make a video of the time you go to crew mess and what you get on your plate? Is that allowed? I'd like you to make a video where you show us tutorial on how to do nails once you get the chance. Your nails are really amazing and you once mentioned that you do it yourself. So i'd really like to watch you do that.

    I love watching the Pilot embark and disembark the cruise ship. I have watched them board in some pretty rough seas 😲 Amazing!!!

    You really are perfect to be working on a ship. I’ve only been on 3 cruises but saw our Celebrity ship boarded by pilot in Dover. Weather had been sunny and perfect until we got there. It was cold, raining and water was choppy. The speed boat still pulled up against ship and guy climbed up ladder to board. Didn’t look safe at all. Took the speed boat a while to get against ship properly. There must be an easier way but maybe not.
    My first RC cruise sailed out of Barcelona after staying there 5 days. We went to Southern Italy and France. That was my favorite. But, I liked the Celebrity ship better, little classier and more laid back. RC is more of a constant party atmosphere.

    The most important lesson for everyone! Do the best job you can. If that isn't good enough then let the chips fall where they may. You can't do better than your best!

    I’m working my way through your videos so maybe you’ve done it already. I’d be interested to see how similar and different your experience was when you worked in the spa to now working in the shops.

    I'd love to hear more about why they wanted to kick you off the ship when you got ill after swapping ships and how it happened that they let you stay. It blows my mind that they'd go straight to trying to kick you off for just getting sick! And it sounds like it took quite a drama to stay.

    Hi Lucy!!! I have a question, every crew has their own crew cabin or you share with other one, because i will join the company as a bar server and i would like to know if i will share my cabin or it will be just for me

    • @CruisingAsCrew

      Hey, I believe you will have your own cabin and share a bathroom with one other person of the same gender.
