- Hey sailors,
Soooo, a little update... I have quit my job at Virgin Voyages. It is time for a change. It is definitely bitter-sweet. I am happy to be starting a new chapter but I am so sad to be leaving Virgin Voyages. From day one they have been an amazing company to work for and I have loved my 3 contracts onboard their ships.

Thank you for watching
Hi all, If you have any questions you want answering, please go to my Instagram (@cruisingascrew) where I will be answering all questions on my stories. Thank you all for your support! xxx
Wish you super fun at home!
It’s going to great!!
Darn not everyone has an Instagram account. I was hoping for an answer here.
Lucy, I'm sure I speak for most of your viewers here, in that we wish you well and much luck in your new endeavors!! 😀 You are a rare gem in the world these days (especially in our modern on-line world)!
Fair winds and Following Seas! 😀
Hi John, thank you! I am taking your advice ;).
Ah just seen this! Virgin have missed a huge trick not holding on to you! You are the best crew ambassador ever and would have shined in any other role!
I think the other cruise lines are doing a disservice for not allowing the videos. I want to cruise with Virgin because of your videos. Good luck! You will do well.
Thank you Sandy! this means alot!
Same! I've been on 3 Virgin Voyages just due to finding Lucy's channel!
Same here! Lucy convinced me that it is worth the extra cost, so my husband and I are saving up money to go on a Virgin cruise in a couple years!
Of course the other cruise lines would benefit from Lucy’s videos, just like Virgin has.
They would benefit from Lucy but not perhaps from others. Having employees film their work even while off-duty can be problematic.
Sometimes these things happen for a reason. I have every confidence you will thrive in whatever you do. Good Luck👍
Thank you so much! xx
No matter where you go, Lucy, as long as you maintain a healthy and positive work attitude, you will do well. You are a true inspiration to people looking to work on a cruise ship as well as those passengers who want to cruise.
Change is always good, congratulations Lucy you will be brilliant at what ever you do. Looking forward to hearing what the next adventure is for you.
I'm excited for you. You are fun to watch. Can't wait for the next one.
I'm so glad you're able to make the most of a somewhat crappy situation. I can't wait to see what your next adventure is. 😊
So glad you can continue your RUclips “gig”….I hope that means we will continue to hear about your experiences in this new position!
Godspeed to you and your new adventure! Because of you, i recently started a new career in emergency medicine, with the end goal of working for aboard a ship. I couldn't be happier with my choice so far.
Thank you for continuing a channel that uplifts and inspires. Cheers to you, Miss 🍻
All the best and good luck with whatever happens. I've known shoppies to end up very high up management in other departments (you probably know at least oneof them). I'm sure you will be great at whatever you turn your hand to next. Looking forward to hearing more.
I did not see that coming!! Can’t wait for updates. Wishing you all the very best in your next adventure xXx
Good luck, Lucy!! I'm sure you'll be great at the new job! I'm looking forward to seeing your next adventure!
Thank you so much Adam
I wish you all the best and continued success with your RUclips channel. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure! Safe travels home.
Congratulations, I look forward following your next adventure. We made friends with a crew member on our last cruise, and hope to see him again on land or sea.
As a cruiser, I love the behind the scenes perspective you have brought us. I am looking forward to what your new venture brings. Best of luck!
Thank you so much. Im glad you enjoy them!
Good Luck in your new role whatever it may be on whatever ship it is. will be looking forward to following your adventure and career. fingers crossed all goes well
Adventure!!!! So happy to see you excited for new challenges coning 🤗 enjoy😉
We are excited for you😊 and will support you in whatever your next job is and whatever the cruise line is.
Thank you so much Roger
Lucy, you're bound to excel at whatever you turn your hand to! All the very best, looking forward to seeing what you do next
Thank you so much Krysia
Thank you, Lucy! We're scheduled to be on the Scarlet Lady in a few days and were looking forward to saying hello. You have a unique talent, and we appreciate you humanizing the crew's perspective.
Thank you for your authenticity!
Ditto, was hoping to meet you on this cruise. Very happy to learn that you’re pursuing a new adventure on your terms. Wherever you land, they will be all the better for having you on their team.
Hey Lucy! I'm so excited for you and wish you the best and can hardly wait for the information on where you get to go. I will miss your purple background, however as a lover of purple should! See you on the other side....
Good luck with your new position Lucy! I’m excited for you taking on a new path. Like you said, change can be good. ❤🚢
Thank you Grace!
Wish you the very best Lucy.
I stumbled on your channel back in September 2022 when i was working in Dubai.
You really influenced me and at present, I'm a Crew Member with P&O Australia.
I really like Virgin Voyages as well & have been applying for jobs with them & hope to work for them some day.
I wish you luck in your new endeavour
You are going to be amazing at whatever you do!! Can't wait to hear about your new adventure... and see all the wonderful things that you continue to do with your channel. Love and support friend!!
Thank you so much
Congratulation! Good Luck, and hope you get a single cabin on your new assignment!
Good luck on your new journey, hope to hear from you very soon ❤
Onward and upward. All your new positions (read; experiences) makes you a much more valuable team mate and with your talents, organizational and comm skills plus a great personality it won't be long and people who head exec teams will be inviting you to be a player on their team. It may be a cruise line it might not be. It may be at sea or not. I speak from having headed a "Team" and I know a talented asset when I see one. CONGRATS Kiddo !! Hold on tight and enjoy the journey.
Best wishes, as I am sure your other followers send along too. Looking forward to your next adventuress. You do such a great job of sharing your thoughts & experiences with us.
Thank you so much for your support!
One door closes! Thank you for all the insight you have given us. Look forward to your next venture!
Thank you so much Astra!
Good luck with the new job. Can't wait to see what it is
Congratulations on your new position Lucy !!!
Scary yes but whatever you take on you'll be great !!
Best wishes from Bris Aus 😊
Lucy! Look at you being all brave and bold! I’m so proud of you. Well done!
Thank you so much Sheri!
Best of luck. I hope everything works out and you love your new adventure! 😊
Thank you so much!
LUCY!! THIS IS CRAZY BUT AS YOU SAID CHANGE IS ALWAYS GOOD. It will bring new opportunities, new people, adrenaline and fun. ALL THE BEST, lovely! Surprised by the news but excited and longing for the next videos! ❤
Thank you so much Tati
Wishing you all the very best for the new job 💓
Very sad to see you leaving Virgin, as I know you really enjoyed your time with VV and the perks they offer that other lines don't. I hope you land with a cruise line that encourages you to continue these videos. Every change in our lives is just a new chapter with blank pages. Write it even better than the last. Enjoy your (brief) time off at home, and best of luck, Lucy!
Lucy, I'm glad you're excited about your new opportunity and I wish you all the best. However, I'm sad you're leaving Virgin. You've been a great ambassador for them. My wife and I chose Virgin for our first cruise in 25 years largely because of your videos.
Good luck, and thank you so much for all of your time and experiance.
Thank you so much
Your new team is lucky to have you on board. Wishing you great success in your new role.
Thank you Randell! Much appreciated!
Thanks for all of your videos. They are so helpful. Your genuine descriptions are very reassuring. I'm just about to retire and I'm thinking about getting a job like yours, if I can, in the retail area, because I have a love for different cultures and peoples, and ancient history, and I want to visit so many ancient history sites along the Mediterranean. Thanks so much again!!
Good luck Lucy, I am excited for your new opportunity!
Thank you so much!
Wishing you all the best on this next step in your journey! Growth often requires taking risks. You can do it! Sending you positive energy.
Thank you so much Thank you Jeffrey!
Well, i enjoyed watching you because it made me feel going back to ships. I hope you will be able to continue doing your videos about crew life. I wish you the very best. I didn't resign per se I just didn't sign the following contract. Yes, sometimes I yearn going back but I have a new life on land, an own bisiness and so. I've seen my ex-co-workers step off too and have followed their life through social media. Happiness is in you, not outside, not anybody else. Bon vojage. ❤
I have enjoyed your videos from Kenya in Africa . I'm glad you are just readjusting into something new. All the best in your new assignment.
Thank you so much Christine!
Wish all the best of luck,I know you will do great,no matter what it is your going to do
Best wishes Lucy. Hoping you can continue to share your advice and adventures in your new role.
Me too. Thanks Shawn!
Congratulations on the new opportunity coming in your life! Looking forward to new videos.
Thank you so much Barb
All the best in your new adventure!
I’m so excited for you and I really hope it’s Cunard!!!!
So excited for you!! i just found your channel this past month, I went on my first cruise ever the first week of May. There are so many cruiser youtubers but i really wanted to see cruising from the crews point of view. I only want to support companies that treat their crew well. Your channel was exactly what i was looking for. I hope you are able to continue making the content you want.
Thank you Marina! I am glad to hear that you enjoyed your time on your first ever cruise ship and that my channel gave you the information that you needed.
you seem to be such a joy as an employee so I know the door will always be open for you if you decide to return one day. however, can't wait to be cheering you on as you start this new journey!! change can be scary but also helps foster growth ☻
The important thing is that you're excited and it's a good opportunity for you. I hope we won't lose your videos but if we do, I have to assume it was worth it to you. God Bless!!
Thank you so much Rebecca!
I'm happy for your new adventures!!!!! Hugs and love!!
Thank you so much!!
Good luck with your new adventure. Back in the day I worked on 3 cruise ships as a hairdresser/ manger.I left to go and work for a cruise line in there gift shops back on my very 1st ship . When they changed to a concession I then went into there casinos as a cashier as they where still run in house. You will always find something and it’s normally for the better . I’m sure it will all work out well for. I like watching your videos as in many ways things have not changed much . I have done many things in my life but still consider my 7 years at sea the best time . I’ve made lifelong friends I’m still in touch with. Best wishes to you I hope you enjoy your new adventure.😊
I hope everything works out for you. I’m glad that there’s always options on the table for other things it’s always an adjustment but you have done a great job for yourself so far so I know you got this covered also. Good luck 🍀👍
Thank you so much Lee
you go girl!!
enjoy the adventure..
All the best on your new adventure!! Can't wait to tag along!!
Thank you Mark
Hey Lucy… reading between the lines, I think we knew some sort of change was going to happen, but it still don’t make it easy… You and your channel have seriously motivated me to mix things up and get out of the rut I’m in. I hope this new job comes to fruition and for all our sakes, I hope you can continue with the RUclips channel, especially since you’ve worked so hard to establish yourself… sending you all the positive energy I can muster from down under, and looking forward to seeing what’s next for you… best of luck mate 🤞🙏🫶
Lucy, I wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors. Your videos are one of the main reasons I booked a cruise on Virgin Voyages as you seemed to really enjoy your job and the freedom they gave you to create videos surrounding cruising. As a manager, I know that employees who are happy exude that satisfaction to all those they encounter and it becomes contagious. I hope you find happiness on the new line and maybe your adventures will convince me to book a cruise on that line as well. Thank you for all you do and the unique perspective you bring to your videos!!
All the best for your new adventure!!
Thanks for sharing. This wasn't how I thought this part of your story was going to end! 😮 No VV, no Harding, no Starboard. I'm interested to find out where you'll end up next. 🙏🙂🤪😍
Good on you. All the best in the next adventure.
Great to hear that your moving to a different area to work and still on ships. Hope you enjoy your new adventures
Thank you Scott
Good luck on your new adventure!!
How exciting 😊I'm sure it will be an amazing opportunity
Fantastic season ending cliffhanger! Can’t wait to see what’s next for you! Best wishes on your next journey!
Thank you so much x
Wish you the best of luck. Look forward to seeing you on the next ship.
Thank you so much!
Wow, wasn’t expecting this news. Well good luck and I hope you’re happy with the decision change is good.
Thank you!
Good luck in your new job - hopefully see you on RUclips soon xxx
This is not the last we shall hear from Lucy! This is a stepping stone. I expect Lucy to look back on this and see it was an opportunity. WE WILL ALL HEAR FROM LUCY AGAIN! She has the skills to move beyond retail. I wish you all the best!
Lucy, I am a lot older than you are. I've followed you and your channel from the beginning. You strike me as a very intelligent you woman and I'm certain that your upcoming career change will be wonderful for you ... and probably for your channel members. Good luck ! John from California
We came thisclose to booking a cruise just to see you, next week was our target date to book. My dear dad has an innocent crush on you and were thrilled to see that single cruisers weren't going to be penalized. We picked July before he starts his cancer treatments......but so glad we hadn't booked yet.....
Hope we can follow you. 😊😊😊
Wow, quite a surprise that you are leaving Virgin. I could have seen you going to another department within the cruise line. Be safe, have fun, and I hope it all works out for you. Your videos will continue to benefit VV for years as new employees watch them before starting their contracts. FWIW, we were on Valiant while they did the changeover in the shops. We were not impressed when they finally got the new setup installed. The crew members in the ships were lovely, but I gave them many suggestions for merchandise in my evaluation.
good luck hope you have got good news on the new job by now! cant wait to hear where you're headed :)
Thank you Jamie! Your too kind xxx
Good Luck with your New position exciting times ahead 😊 Enjoy your Family time
Looking forward to to hearing where your off to and what your New job is.
Really hope your allowed to continue to do your you tube channel ( i see quite a few others around travel sadly stopping due to issues ) sad .
Take care 🥰
Thank you so much Gwyneth!
Best of luck in your new adventures Lucy ❤
Thank you so much
I’m sure what ever you will do will be done well. Sorry we don’t get a chance to meet you on our next cruise. So long as you left Virgin on good terms, hopefully that door will stay open in case you want to come back. All the best.
Don't worry dear just hold on in there it happened for the best dear u will be happy there trust God l will pray for u to be comfortable n happy in ur new job but don't loose hope
Wow - this is such a brave step for you - so exciting though! Hope everything goes well with the transition 😊
Thank you so much Fraser!
I know you will do a fabulous job no matter what your new position is! I can't wait to hear about it!
This is so lovely! Thank you!
Wow… I know you don’t technically work for Virgin, but you’re one of the best ambassadors for their brand on RUclips… and given most other cruise channels seem to sensationalise the polarising public opinions of Virgin, I’d have thought they would be very keen to keep you in the family one way or another… it’s a massive missed opportunity on Virgin’s part… I have no doubt bigger and better things await for you Lucy ❤
Everything happens for a reason! Virgin will always be in your heart and you’ll always be as amazing as have been 💙 sending love your way and looking forward to your next adventure
Thank you so much for your support and well wishes! xxx
You certainly have us in suspense. I hope wherever you're going you can continue with content. I honestly don't remember which video I saw first, just that you popped up in my recommendations with a video that sounded interesting and a few videos later I was a subscriber. One bit you should be able to answer: How did your family react to the news?
You’ll be great no matter what cruise line. Happy Cruising Lucy.
Thank you so much will
You are doing great. DO NOT step on any toes.
Godspeed, Lucy.
I am so excited!
It's ok! We knew it was a matter of time! Guess it's time for another cruise line adventure!
Love your videos! I can’t wait to find out what your new adventure is!
Thank you so much
Nnnoooooo! I was so looking forward to meeting you😢 Godspeed. Please, keep creating content.
Ahh sorry Mike! I promise you'll have such a great time though!
Congratulations for new adventures! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much
Hii, Good Decision & Congratulations. .🎉
Goodluck Lucy, God bless your new endeavour.
Thank you so much
All the best to you Lucy, wherever and whatever lies ahead for you! You are a smart, ambitious young lady.
Thank you so much Michael!
Congratulations! Not a crew nor aspiring to be. Just enjoy your videos 😊Best to you in your new chapter!
Thank you so much and i'm glad you enjoy my videos!
Happy for you. Hope youre a cruise director now. I was sad for you when I heard the news of your company leaving virgin then seeing your video. I was curious how it worked out
Congrats on the new adventure! 🎉
You’ve spurred me on with your videos the entire time I’ve spent waiting to get on board (7 months). Greatest of luck on your new journey, you’ll smash it.
Thank you so much Gianna. I hope you get onboard soon but unfortunately, sometimes it can be a long wait. Just keep emailing your recruiter and make sure you're at the front of their minds! lots of love xxx
@@CruisingAsCrew the wait is finally over for me, June 11th on the Allure, worth the wait!! Thank you for your support!!
