Side comment: I love how you put everyone's homeland flag next to their names. I love that detail. Also "deep seated fear that I'm not good enough for anything else" hit a little too close to home
I think it’s important to represent where they’re from 🥰
I did ntice that. Nice touch.
I believe a lot of people feel that way.
Why? We are all human beings and not where we come from. Why does it matter stating where everyone hails from?
thats the thing I hated the most about the video, thanks for pointing out @Quixotic
This, hands down, has to be my favorite video format of yours. It’s so neat and different than your usual videos. Keep it up!
thank you! I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about it but I think when shedding light on some of these topics it was important to show a perspective other than my own ☺️
The dude that landed Alley, a 🏆 for you.
The dude, if dude, probably is an average normal down to earth everyday person if there is a person. I don't know enough about her personal life but she seems verrrryy independent.
Camera quality on point and very cool to see other crew member perspectives!
I worked on Royal Caribbean ships in 2001-2003... So many great times but remember we don't take pictures of the tough times. Enjoy your time. My advice.... Take it in and enjoy it. Stay loyal to your values, fight for love, and know that leaving cruise life is a challenge because life isn't fun. But don't be afraid of the future....Thanks for sharing.
Hey Mojumbo, Sup? long time since we worked on ships, Miss ya buddy!
Did you get free tours on Royal Caribbean?
great video, really nice lightning and great edit! to the point and concise.
awesome stuff
this was suuuuuch a good video! i’ve never watched anything like it. the honest insight was so refreshing.
Your a delightful person Alley!! Never let anyone get you down, your first instincts were correct!!! Thankyou for sharing.There are lots of fish in the sea and cruise companies, get em Alley 🎉
the reality of this vid met all my expectations. toned and beautiful.
I was just randomly searching for videos about life on cruise ships. This was great. Good work 'Better help' sounds really interesting as well. I clicked. Thanks.
Recommending therapy is really great. So undervalued. Also congrats on the relationship! You make us so happy so it's awesome to see you happy as well!
It’s a great resource 🙏❤️ & Thank you so much! I’m so happy 🥰
We need more people like Alley in the world!!😊
Love your positivity, I’ve been sailing on RCL ever since I was a baby, and am almost Diamnond Plus now, the crew is what makes RCL so great so a big thank you to you and everyone else who works on these ships 😊😊
Excellent video! Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks for sharing your amazing experience with us all !!!
Very well documented video about living and working on cruiseships as I worked on ships for about 16 years. I have seen many documentaries of what it is like to work on ships and they created a very negative stigma or a false wonderland. It was really nice that you interviewed crew as well, because they are hardest working and most respectful people that I have worked with in the world. I look forward to seeing more video's from you!!
Please tell me how to start
Your editing is FIRE!!!! Love your videos. Thanks for the inspo!
Very informative, loved the video. Thanks! 😊
Great video, probably the best you’ve ever made, in terms of content, style and presentation, and production. Thank you ❤
10+ years crew member here, now working from shoreside in operations and recruiting. Am constantly looking at crew vlogs, instagrams, tiktok, you name it... this material is great, and am definitely sharing it with our candidates.
thank you so much ☺️ glad you’re finding this helpful!
If your recruiting dept handles some of the technical jobs like IT and your working for RCG, may sooner than later have a candidacy discussion
Small world if im correct
Would have been nice @@verios44 ! But am recruiting Photographers and Filmers for different German based cruiselines. All the best for you!
Oh, I'm looking for a job in the medical team in a cruise ship, but I'm from Venezuela, would you mind sharing if you hire people of specific countries for the medical team?
@@sakurikitty I dont know about countries. I do know the medical staff is usually very small. Even on the largest ships, most likely less than 10 in total. Between the doctors, nurses and other medical staff. It maybe easier to look at more common departments to get started with, and work into medical if thats what you wish.
Just found your channel a few days ago. I am enjoying it so much. You are SUNSHINE! Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you for sharing. I really have a good sense now about what it’s like to work on a cruise ship. Well done.
Great video and so articulate, balanced and informative. Keep up the great content.
Alley! Juan here. I’m getting on board soon, first contract. Your content has been the best I’ve watched on RUclips ! Very Informative ! Thank you, legend ! Cheers .
Thanks, that was such a great video. Thanks for sharing
RC staff is the best! You all made my trip such a marvelous one of a kind experience 😊. Went on my first cruise last year and the itinerary changed so I was bummed at first but once on the ship most of the staff was sooo amazing and friendly and made my entire stay so memorable and personable ❤❤❤
I never intend on working on a ship (mainly because I get easily sea sick), but it's still fascinating to watch stuff like this. On a side note, this video is very well made, the production values are excellent, the presenter is very engaging, and it's presented in an easy to digest way.
The comment at 5:30ish about not leaving the life because of fear of not being good enough elsewhere, is one that has also kept many people in the military!
Well done and very informative....thanks!
Loved your video as always! 🙌💕
I did spend a lot of time on ships (different ones: research vessels) and I find a lot similarities. You really get to know someone much better during a month of a cruise than during a year working with them on land. And yes, all kind of relationships. Actually I think there are more of them on ships than in most other work places.
Awesome Video. Woohoo Euphonic Jive playing the party. I miss those guys so much. Nice interviewee Graydon!
Euphoric jive is amazing 😻
Really good video. I actually watched the whole thing. Thank you!
Amazing video Alley!
I love how your whole face smiles...
This is such a well crafted video!!!
That was very informative , excellent episode
I love all of your videos! For those of us who haven't been able to travel just yet, your videos are the next best thing! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! 🙂
Merry Christmas & happy new year 🥰
Great video Alley I get the feeling any guy who is in a relationship with you is very lucky. Great outfits by the way very interesting video all round.
I just lost my shit hahahahahah. Intense eye contact --- I have a deep seeded fear that I am not good enough to do anything else. Love that dude!
You are absolutely amazing at this, so well spoken and you have so much fun with it . Keep up the good work, basically love your life.
Great video. Cool that you can book excursions at different places. So smart guests should ask crew members about what are the best excursions.
awesome video :) very informative and done in a fun way :) thanks for sharing :)
Excellent video, Alley! You really hit a lot of questions I have about this lifestyle, and your video skills are quite good here. Well done! Thanks for preparing this. - Mark O
Happy to get the information out there 😊 thank you ❤️❤️
I really appreciate videos like this! I am heavily considering a ship board career and have made some applications with RCL already. Im interested in the IT technical side of the house, basiclly a job im already doing. But for me its the sense of something different thats my main driving factor.
“ because i have a deep seeded fear that im not good enough to do anything else “ 😭 😂 nah you ain’t lying. I just decided to become a electrician but I’m thinking what he’s thinking all the times so i stay as a janitor ( rn ) 😢
You are absolutely stunning Alley!! Love watching your videos! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, even if that means for you to celebrate on a cruise ship!! Been on a few Royal Caribbean ships myself.
I love your cruise content so much. You are really inspiring and fun to watch! ❤
Thank you so much!!☺️
The comment…deep-seated fear that I’m not good enough to do something else…
Whatever career path you’re on, at some level, this is very relatable.
Thank you for posting that!
She definitely broke a lot of guys hearts with that last 30 seconds 🤣
That was quite the soft launch
It would be hard af to last more then 30 seconds with her🥵🥵
This is a great video with some great information. Thanks to your crewmates for being open and honest. When we cruise, I always ask the stateroom attendant to if they can get off the ship with many saying no. I hope you interview more folks from the different department. It's great to hear their perspective of working on a cruise ship. Thank for sponsoring Better Help. That's good for someone who is struggling. Looking forward to your next video.
ALLEY THIS VIDEO IS GORGEOUS💜 miss you
LOVE YOU SO MUCH ❤️
Very interesting video. Not all hearts and flowers out on the open seas
New to the channel. Loving the content, Alley!
Thank you 🥰
stunningly produced video, nice one
Halloween parties have always been crazy at sea.
Always amazed me with the effort into their costumes.
you need to be discovered because aside of your obvious entertaining skills, you have a natural knack for making great content that flows so smoothly.
Alley, your content is really outstanding; keep up the great work
Thank you 🥲
You guys riding that moped 10/10 on how good it was especially on that corner 😂😂😂😂😂
Alley you have the sweetest smile.
❤❤❤ your uploads give me life!
You're the best!🥹
Love the dude in the Bass Pro Shop hat.
He sure does
Interesting content - thank you for sharing! And kudos to being open about talking about therapy: we need to normalize that more. Best of luck in your (new?) relationship!
thank you 😊 we’ve been together since July 💕
😂lmfao when that guy said: " cuz I have a deep sea feel I can't do anything else!"👌😂👌
Just got a cadetship with a cruise company and my first sea phase starts next August and your videos have been a good guide of what to expect
Great video!
You're so pretty, sis! 😍😍
The last expectation reminded me of being on a college crew team. While it's not the same as being on a cruise ship, you're still training and competing together most of the time and everyone knows everyone else's business. You definitely can't hide a relationship if you're dating a teammate.
So interesting!
If it fits your vision, it would be really valuable to learn from you about what it’s like to work on a cruise ship while having a partner on/off the ship. Working on a cruise ship is a bucket list item for me, but now I’m married and I can’t fathom choosing to be separated for months. Can spouses stay on board? If not, how do you personally make it work with your boyfriend? I’d love to know your take on this! 😊
Great video Allie
Congratulations on your relationship Alley 😎👍❤️
Really great video Alley! Thank you for the ship life enlightenment!
Thinking of joining a cruise ship as a crew nurse, but haven't heard much about them!
The intro is giving Elle Woods Harvard application vid! ❤❤
Thanks, Alley! It is always awesome to get some insight into things that are interesting but kinda veiled from the public eye :) I know that a lot of us here appreciate these kinds of videos :)
I’m so glad you enjoyed ❤️🥰
Great comment. I love seeing the behind doors of a cruise
Awesome video, would love to see more videos like this. Do you know anyone with similar "reactions," "Truths," or "Day in a life" of people who work in more scheduling demanding jobs such as kitchen crew?
Keep up with great videos
Awesome 😎
I had a opportunity many many years ago to work for carnival cruise lines in the engineering department. Due to a better job offer i turned it down. But i always wondered what it would have been like.
Alley you have an incredible smile and energy i always look forward to your video.
Hello Alley, just curius if you've done a vid on getting sea sick on these boats? or how you deal with it. Have a great day.
Lo mejor del crucero creo que eres tú 😍
I worked in the shoreside hq for a cruise company back in 1999-2001. I’ll never forget meeting with the ships doctor when I first started and asked about their biggest challenge. His response was “Its almost impossible to keep condoms in stock.”
At the time they gave them out free to crew members. Ran out constantly. Ship/Dorm life, I guess.
Also, with regard to pay, you have to remember that the “compensation plan” for a cruise ship employee looks a bit different than it does for a land-based employee, namely that food and housing are factored in as well to some extent. While I may make about $2k per month after deductions, I have to pay for my own housing out of that, whereas that cruise employee making $500 a month has that cost already deducted.
Think of it like apartment hunting: one place I looked at in college said $450 a month plus utilities, while another said $750 a month inclusive. But the $750 a month place also covered utilities, bus pass, and came FULLY FURNISHED. The cost trade off was more than worth it, because it meant that was one less thing I had to consider while living there.
good to know these things 😆 i'll start working as a photographer in march in the mediterranean , i'm italian , not that excited for the mediterranean as i been everywhere here ,but will be interesting to see how is working on a cruise😆
When i was aboard ship it was the USN. We slept 45 to a room so i know about cramped spaces
I've come to really enjoy your videos. I think you do a great job presenting what life is like on a cruise ship: some stuff is great and some stuff is not so great and you can choose your attitude about it.
What do you find not so great if you don't mind me asking? :)
I love this girls outlook on life and she seems so genuinely sweet🫶
Great video, and thanks for providing a wonderful insight into crew life, Alley. If a crew member misses the all aboard call, are they dropped off at the next port (assuming they can still board the ship) or do they have to walk the plank? 😊
I have been working on the cruise ship for two years as a croupier, it was a very good experience, of course it was a challenge to stay 6/8 months living in a tiny cabin with another person.
However I strongly recommend to experience the cruise ship life, mostly if you are between 20 to 25 years old, this is my opinion of course.
I just subscribed great content.
Amazing Video and really accurate 🙏
What microphone do you use?
Cabins are bigger than a prison cell for sure. Nicely done. Thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you for watching ☺️
It’s all in the mindset… The repetitive routine… Pay depends = USD Forex… Depends also, Luxury vs Mass Passenger… World cruise vs routines island cruise…
What are the different careers and jobs available on a cruise ship? My daughter thought it would be fun to work on a cruise ship but wasn’t sure of the different possibilities. Maybe do a video on it?
I love that your sponsor is Better Help. I appreciated that you, who seems so happy go lucky, also face the reality of the ups and downs of life. You seem so genuine. Safe travels!
I’m really happy they were able to sponsor this one 🙏 they have a really great mission ❤️
Have you used it in comparison to face to face counseling? I have and I would not recommend it to anyone.
This is a really great video, Alley. I'm super-impressed--it's very polished and really well produced. Interesting topic, good scripting, great editing, excellent accessibility with your interviewing (Officer Ducky will be jealous). You even solved your lighting situation. Thank you for sharing. How long does it take for you to create a long-form video like this one? Do you have process that you follow?
thank you! The hardest part for this one was finding people to interview 😅 I was asking people from all over the ship but time off didn’t always align. I first started working on this one 2-3 weeks ago I think 🤔
@@wanderlustalley (Thanks for replying!) You're a junior officer--you can pull rank :)
I love your channel
Alley, you appear to be a fun and hard working person. they should put you in their commercials...
Goodness you are very beautiful. May switch careers 👏😂😂 but in all seriousness! This stuff is very interesting, something most people won’t ever do. I hope it brings you endless opportunities!
for the LOG when you move on, please take up YT Sailing/Yatching videos! You would be the perfect for it... Hope your guy can sail but of not shout him a course and get him a boat licence (do it together, they dont sail themselves after all) ~ when your ready for your next adventure!
Nice 😊
Working on a Ship, any Ship is lots of work! I was in the Navy, so I worked on a Ship. Remember, a Cruise Ship is a Hotel, and Hospitality is very busy and lots of work. You do travel, but depending on your job abroad, you may not get to leave at port. I looked into working on a Cruise many years ago. I was offered a 6 month contract. Rate of pay was based on what your Job and Experience is. If you’re Single and Young, I found it better. If you have a family, maybe not, you could be away for a while. If you’re claustrophobic, maybe not. The cabins are very small. Thank You Alley for this video, you are amazing 😎👍
