@@kristinekuglerhi , hope you're keeping well but just a small question, can say when is like the best time to book a cruise? When one might be a able to get a good deal 🤝
Hi !! Which kind of musicals do you dance for on the cruise :) I'd keep my toilet out of the equation in the future :) thank you for sharing though your tidy spot it is nice ... do you ever stop in the Miami area or the Cape Canaveral area of Florida?
I love behind-the-scenes stuff. We were once on holiday on a resort island in the Maldives where guests were offered a weekly tour of the staff compound hidden among the trees in the middle of the island. It was amazing to see.
I use to be mad at why they were always weighing our luggage but now I know that you guys actually live on the ship. I’m NOW thankful and more grateful for you guys.
This randomly popped up and i thought "2 mins and I am done", 14 mins later.. lol. Absolutely amazing to see the "other side" of cruise ship life. Yep - it's a small shared cabin, but you girls are crazy organised and make it work well. It's not like you are missing key things - just less clothes than you might have at home. It was lovely to see the homely touches that make it your space :)
Always wondered what crew cabins were like on cruise ships. Glad to see you have it organized so well. I had to LOL at the calendar when I saw what was written for the 11th, that was pretty funny.
Not sure how I got here, but that is a very well organized space. College freshmen could look at this for inspiration. I kept thinking about historical tours, where people dress up and act out a historical character. If videos last that long, future historians may find this kind of information invaluable.
Back in my 20s I worked on a ship. I had a room like yours, but with no shower. My roommate and I had to shower with other female staff; so it was like a dorm. I did have a porthole though! I don’t have any pictures of that time-it was before the internet and I guess I never thought to take any of my quarters. I know it wasn’t as decorated and cute as yours! You’ll treasure this video someday.
Wow the layout and size looks identical to my cabin back in the day (1996!) and lucky for you all the magnetic storage shelves, etc is a huge bonus! We had to store our luggage in the cabin, buy our own fridge and make do with the limited storage space. Looks like you've made yourself a nice sanctuary to return to each night.
I worked on Ships for 6 years as a crew member. Was so much fun & a massive part of my life. Meet so many amazing people. I only worked on RC (Indie) as a crew member but parties were wild. Not many crew bars stayed open as late as that bar.
This is such a fun watch! I love all the storage tips and tricks. I’m kind of jealous of the hair accessory drawer LOL I hope you and your roomie are having a great time living the cruise employee life!
oh my gosh hello! i had no idea you have a youtube channel! this showed up on my for you page!! I know this cast just got off the ship which is insane, congratulations on a successful contract! also you and caitlin made this room so freaking cute! I wish you luck on all your future contracts, it was amazing to work with you on this one. (also incase you don't remember or recognize my name, i was one of the costumers the installed you on this ship and into these shows.) Congrats again on a great contract, you guys were such a talented cast and such a pleasure to work with!! ❤❤
Love what you two have done to make the space comfy. It's great inspo for anyone who's looking to go tiny. Also, shout out for your cute simple modern drinkware!😉
This was very interesting. Thank you for the tour. Also, I am completely blind and want to say you did an amazing job of describing everything so well!
As someone who craved my own personal space during dorm life/while living with roommates….I genuinely love this room. There’s so much storage and it seems so well-loved. I really want to see what the sunset lamp looks like. Plus, I bet there’s loads of places on the ship too, if you do ever need a break from each other. (There IS loads of places….right??)
Thank you so much! It definitely helps that we get along well! My favorite way to get some alone time is working out in the gym/ walking the track and listening to music and podcasts. I also love sitting in the cafe and reading a book just to get out of the room for a little! Also I have the sunset lamp lit in the back of some of my videos, but we bought it on Amazon!
They're lucky to get a TV. 90% of the cruise crew room tours I've seen have no TV or a very tiny portable one (the kinds with a built in DVD player. They're not expensive, about $99-110 US).
Hi Kristine, I’m glad I found you. I’ve cruised six times and enjoyed every trip. I think the world the crew of every ship I’ve been aboard. Jewel, Radiance, Granduer, Oasis. The other ships were Carnival Fantasy & Caribbean Princess. I look forward to sailing on your ship soon.
@@kristinekugler I want to catch a Quantum class ship very soon. When I was on Oasis, I got to meet some of the Aqua80 performers. Their skills are beyond words. I loved Aqua80 & Cats.
@@DriveFastLookGood I’ve never been on an Oasis class ship but they look sooo cool!! I am biased but I love Quantum class ships ;) They are big but also feel like home to me!
You two seem really close and harmonious, sharing hair tools and matching comforters etc! Do you think that is more typical for dancers, or did you know each other well already? Or how do you bring up ideas like that? (I'm hoping to play in a cruise show band!)
I'm surprised you get along well enough with an Australian that she had a jar of vegemite in the snacks drawer. It isn't for everyone and has a pretty funky smell too. I live in the US and have tried it. I kinda like it because it's nowhere as strong as its British cousin marmite, LOL...
Very interesting. I like the methods of storing your stuff; you've put a maximum of stuff in a minimum amount of space. You should write an advice book re efficient /neat storage in small spaces.
I have those magnetic shelves in black iron for my spices and jars in my kitchen which is about 2 times the size of your bathroom but small for a house kitchen in the USA. They are amazing and can hold at least 5 lbs
Great tour, Kristine! Thank you! As someone that cruises a lot we really enjoy the hospitality and courtesy we get from crew. We do find that by day 7 or 8 we are looking forward to disembarking. How do you deal with feelings like that?
Thank you!! Crew life is very different from guest life in the fact that since we have so long on board, we’re able to develop daily routines like our lives on land! I think routine helps the most!
I am a grown woman whoblives in a spacious home- im not sure why i felt the need to take lessons from this. 😅 bravo! P.s. - how do you all get your favorite cosmetics/ packages sent to you?
I do not know why RUclips algorithm put this in front of me, But i Watched every second of it! And loved it! Nice cabin decorations! & Im glad you get to enjoy my Island Aruba ❤️. I miss it born and raised till 2012 when I moved to Miami.
Nice video. My folks were Royal Caribbean fans. Their first cruise was in '80 on the Song of Norway--things were all inclusive then, and their cruise toured from Florida into and thru the Caribbean and back again. Their tour was all inclusive, and the only thing I ever had like that was the Riu Suites in Puerto Vallarta and another stay at Pacific Island Club in Guam, though the latter was a business trip. You do so well in your video, and you are so natural on camera, I suspect you may end up as a teacher in the tourism industry. Most of my career, until my daughter was born, was as an international tourism systems implementation teaching lead, and I was recruited out of the hotel industry--so unlike you and your roommate I was a landlubber though changing cities every five to twenty days, depending on the size of the resort our clients owned. I know dancing is hard enough when the floor is not moving--how in the world do u keep your balance dancing on a ship dancing thru open waves? I did not know there was an Avatar book, but I loved both movies especially the second because despite being a landlubber, I also have enjoyed the ocean and really enjoyed taking the ferry between Dover and Calais and back again in '17, almost the size of the Song of Norway, and the only large ship I've ever been on in the open ocean. Your significant other is lucky to have you in his life--you light up your space with your personality and your career, because you shared how hospitality workers live on the seven seas, and we on land in the tourism industry appreciate that, because without your ship visits, no one would come back to see the lovely islands you see in more detail.
@@kristinekugler My parents encountered some rough seas, even with the Song of Norway's stabilizers, and my Mom took the brunt of not feeling well, but my Dad knew what to do by holding her and making her feel cushioned from the motion, since he had to take ships overseas at the end of WWII and during Korea, where the Army sent him. He also often went on small fishing cruises with his friends near the Farallon Islands, off the coast of San Francisco. Funny, same night my poor Mom encountered rough seas, I was babysitting their home, and we were hit by a 5.0 magnitude earthquake, while I was watching Johnny Carson--and I felt like the floor under me dropped like Hollywood Studios "Tower of Terror", making unscheduled elevation changes for maybe only five seconds. My older brother, always the hero, rushed to my house knowing I was shaken up, one of four earthquakes I felt all the way up to the '89 World Series Earthquake. People who have been in heavy ship surf and earthquakes say the sensations of dizziness for as long as they last are quite similar, which I felt to a small extent on the English Channel in '17 and on the San Francisco Bay Ferries I often took from the Napa River to San Francisco. I never was bugged by them much, but as I said, lol, I would not have dared dance with someone as pretty as you or your roommate, because I would have fallen down on rough seas, lol, and made quite a fool of meself. I did not sleep until they came home from their cruise, and Royal Caribbean had already informed him we had a strong earthquake in Northern California, but did not worry them about damage. Only thing that fell was their bedroom lamp, and it did not break, but their bedroom and living room ceilings had cosmetic cracks that they repaired, since I was in College at the time I had no time to repair them before returning to their house in the evening.
While l know l will actually never get on a big cruise ship-- or anything "at sea" lol-- l so enjoyed seeing inside one, where you actually live as you work at sea. Thanks for the fun peek into working on a ship. LOVE the faerie lights and well done storages spots!👍🏻😃🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦
You guys definitely made you tiny living space cozy ❤. I honestly thought they would’ve made the rooms more spacious for the workers, you guys work so hard. The least they can do is make bigger rooms lol
Great video, Kristine! Really interesting to check out any of the behind the scenes stuff. The cabin has a great amount of storage space. I've been watching a lot of cruise videos in anticipation of our cruises in October, and our second cruise then will be the transatlantic from Civitavecchia to Fort Lauderdale on Odyssey! Love to see the tub of Vegemite, always easy to spot fellow Aussies when travelling - we will have to bring some ourselves from Sydney. We will be looking out at the shows we go to and see if we can spot you (if you are still on-board at that time)
@@kristinekugler ah that's a shame. Good luck with your future endeavours! I hope you enjoyed your stint on Odyssey! I'm sure the new cast will be fantastic :)
What a nice and well organized room, thanks for the tour. By the way, when you're done with working on cruise ships, you might consider a career in real estate or property development, you have the right face and temperament for it, I think.
I've always wondered, what power voltage do you have on the ship? 110V? 240V? And do you have access to the internet at sea? if you do, is it from satalite? what speed is it? thanks heaps!
Lmao girl I love your cabin! I am absolutely buying the folding drawers next contract, very good idea!! Theyre moving me to Oasis class, I will miss the larger deck 6 cabins from Odyssey 😂
as a new royal worker I’m curious to how you got your stuff from Amazon and target? Like did you get it before you got on the ship or while on the ship? and if so how did u get it while u were on the ship?
You’re able to order packages to the ship! And at the time we were porting in Ft. Lauderdale, FL so it was easy to go to the local Target and bring it back on board :)
that looks super organized wow!! so does the company allow to bring in additional furniture? i am asking for the drawers. also you are so lucky you are both on the same page regarding organizing staff!!
I love a good small space organization. This is so cute, but do you ever feel claustrophobic in there.? Also idk if I could live without a window in my room.
Hey! I've just stumbled across your channel and I loveee your content! I'm currently a third year dance student and have started to audition for cruise lines myself! Your channel is giving me so much insight thank youuu. Also, did the drawers come in the room already or are they something you and your roomy purchased afterwards?
This reminds me of bunking during my first year as a summerstock theatre costumer, only me and my roomie did NOT have the same vibes at all lol. You do a great job utilizing a small space! Do crew have lots of places to hang out away from passengers?
It seems like the cabin comes relatively empty and you have to provide all the storage units, bedding, hangars, etc. And you wouldn't know until you got into your cabin. So you order from Amazon? How do you get the mail? I considered applying to work on a cruise ship for a hot minute. This was an interesting tour. Thanks.
Omg I feel claustrophobic just watching this video but you have done amazing with maximizing storage space. Is there AC? Does it get really hot and stuffy?
@@kristinekugler Thank you for your prompt reply Kris. I was staff on the QM2 for 6 months. I know what it's like when its time to go home and you have to clean your cabin out! Quite a few memories came back when I was watching your video! 😄
Great job at the creativeness used to get your spaces to work for your necessities to live & work on board!! Curious about how you get your clothes washed? And I've been collecting magnets for years their fun! Would love to get ones from the beautiful places you're going!!😂 Great job on the video too😊😊
I am so impressed with your organization- those magnetic shelves are amazing- wonder if they break down so next cruise I can store my bathroom stuff like you? :-) Off to Amazon to shop- Thanks.
How do you stay organized with all of it? How many luggage’s do you board with? I would forget something if I had that much. I board with 1 big luggage and even that is hard to adjust.
Do the room come bare when you start your contracts and you can put what you need in them? Do you need permission from the line to decorate furnish at will?
No, there are hangers provided and there’s a linens room where we can collect or return any linen we need :) I brought some special hangers that were more space efficient but they do provide regular hangers!
This is perfect for 4 or 5 days out to SEA. I couldn't do a Month in this closed space. I'm surprised the cruise ship doesn't let you take a GUEST ROOM if one is available, maybe like rotate every month between certain crew.
Awesome video! When you were in rehearsal in Miami, did you know who your roommate would be so you can work out what to bring? I know most positions do not know but entertainment might be different
We got to pick our roommates around the 4th week of rehearsals, so we had already gotten to know everyone before we made a decision :). Our roommates for the 6 weeks in Miami were random though!
What state is your roommate from? I can only understand "southern" Australians (i.e. from Queensland, New South Wales or South Australia). I cannot explain why their accents sound different if they're from those regions. Some are very surprised that I can guess if they're from Cairns, Adelaide or Sydney just by their accents. The most difficult ones come from Northern Territory and Western Australia.
Wow, I lived on a 38 foot sailboat for four years but my little home wasn't near that tidy and organized. But then again I'm a guy so ya know how that is. haha, Thanks for the tour..
This is the most well furnished cabin I’ve seen. It’s so homey. You are really good at organizing !
thank you so much!! 😊

Feels like a cozy dorm room, surprisingly lot of storage, it seems like you have organized everything really well and it still feels open and clean!

as a new royal worker I’m curious to how you got your stuff from Amazon and target? Like did you get it before you got on the ship or while on the ship? and if so how did u get it while u were on the ship?
You’re able to order packages to the ship! And at the time we were porting in Ft. Lauderdale, FL so it was easy to go to the local Target and bring it back on board :)
We worked on the same ship! I remember seeing you around. Cheers!
aww thanks!!
I was a yacht stewardess and our cabins were much smaller lol. You are lucky with that size room lol
lucky is an overstatement, we live here for 9 months at a time with thousands of crew on board! i bet it’s much different on a smaller boat 😊
that looks super organized wow!! so does the company allow to bring in additional furniture? i am asking for the drawers. also you are so lucky you are both on the same page regarding organizing staff!!
I love a good small space organization. This is so cute, but do you ever feel claustrophobic in there.? Also idk if I could live without a window in my room.
To be honest, you get used to it pretty quickly. Decorating it and making it comfortable definitely helps!
And this is a new ship!
Hey! I've just stumbled across your channel and I loveee your content! I'm currently a third year dance student and have started to audition for cruise lines myself! Your channel is giving me so much insight thank youuu.
Also, did the drawers come in the room already or are they something you and your roomy purchased afterwards?
Aw I love to hear that and good luck in your auditions!! My roommate and I bought them ourselves and sent them to the ship :)
So cute!
Very cute and girly cabin :D
This reminds me of bunking during my first year as a summerstock theatre costumer, only me and my roomie did NOT have the same vibes at all lol. You do a great job utilizing a small space! Do crew have lots of places to hang out away from passengers?
Yes we do :) We have deck 7 where we can lay out and get fresh air but also we have our own cafe, game room, etc in crew area!
@@kristinekugler that’s good to hear! I was tempted to work on cruise ships in my earlier days but it never came about. Enjoy it!!!
Curious to know if married couples are ever hired and how their room would be.
Yes they are and they’d have a couples cabin
It seems like the cabin comes relatively empty and you have to provide all the storage units, bedding, hangars, etc. And you wouldn't know until you got into your cabin. So you order from Amazon? How do you get the mail? I considered applying to work on a cruise ship for a hot minute. This was an interesting tour. Thanks.
Yes we’re able to order on Amazon, as well as purchase things in ports to bring back as well!
Your room it’s super sweet and comfortable ❤❤❤❤love it
Omg I feel claustrophobic just watching this video but you have done amazing with maximizing storage space. Is there AC? Does it get really hot and stuffy?
Actually it’s usually really cold! Our AC works great :)
What do you do with all your stuff when you go on leave and your cabin gets reassigned? 😀
Giving them to the next cast that comes in :) A lot of what we have is from the previous cast as well
@@kristinekugler Thank you for your prompt reply Kris. I was staff on the QM2 for 6 months. I know what it's like when its time to go home and you have to clean your cabin out! Quite a few memories came back when I was watching your video! 😄
Great job at the creativeness used to get your spaces to work for your necessities to live & work on board!! Curious about how you get your clothes washed? And I've been collecting magnets for years their fun! Would love to get ones from the beautiful places you're going!!😂
Great job on the video too😊😊
We have a laundry room on board! I show it in some of my other vids! Thank you!! 😊
How fun! Wow, you better like your roommate if you’re going to be in such tight quarters 😮
I was just wondering, how do you buy on Amazon when you are always on the move?
@@Alfa_Chef You can order to the ship at your home port or somewhere nearby :)
@kristinekugler Oh thanks!
1:41 WHO LEAVES LMFAOO 🖐🏼😭
I am so impressed with your organization- those magnetic shelves are amazing- wonder if they break down so next cruise I can store my bathroom stuff like you? :-) Off to Amazon to shop- Thanks.
Thank you!! Ours didn’t break down, but we left them for the next girls living in there!
How do you stay organized with all of it? How many luggage’s do you board with? I would forget something if I had that much. I board with 1 big luggage and even that is hard to adjust.
Hey I know this question is unrelated, but I was thinking about getting that Daisy love perfume. Is it any good or not?
It’s my favorite 🥰
Okay, thank you!
No windows? 😯 did that take getting used too? I feel like I’d got so claustrophobic.
*get
Definitely! I love waking up to sunlight, but our sunset lamp definitely helps :)
How long do you stay in the same cabin? Everything is so organized great job. Probably have to be in that small of space
For me it was 9 months but it depends on the length of your contract!
How does laundry work? Is it like a dorm where you do your own in a central area or do you have to send it to be done?
Yes we have our own laundry room on board :)
youguys are living good!
I am gonna work in Odyssey on November. And I need to know where are did you got those drawers?
All and all Not to bad !! Very organized !👍
Do the room come bare when you start your contracts and you can put what you need in them? Do you need permission from the line to decorate furnish at will?
Yes it’s bare, it only comes with linens but we bought our own. No we didn’t need permission
@@kristinekugler Does staff have there own eating space/commissary or can they eat what the passengers get?
I’m curious what all the cruise line provides. Do you have to bring hangers or linens?
No, there are hangers provided and there’s a linens room where we can collect or return any linen we need :) I brought some special hangers that were more space efficient but they do provide regular hangers!
0:08 to 0:26 love how your hair is.
Best video of a room tour I have seen so far.
This is perfect for 4 or 5 days out to SEA. I couldn't do a Month in this closed space. I'm surprised the cruise ship doesn't let you take a GUEST ROOM if one is available, maybe like rotate every month between certain crew.
I love your video! 😍
Awesome video! When you were in rehearsal in Miami, did you know who your roommate would be so you can work out what to bring? I know most positions do not know but entertainment might be different
We got to pick our roommates around the 4th week of rehearsals, so we had already gotten to know everyone before we made a decision :). Our roommates for the 6 weeks in Miami were random though!
@@kristinekugler oh that’s really nice! Makes your contract so much more enjoyable! And tell Lume that Nolan says hi 🥰😃
@@micheleborowiak7909 You’re right! I love my roommate :) and will do! Hope you guys are doing great!
Do you have the link to the sunset lamp??? So cute!
Do you have to do your own cleaning and provide your own supplies?
We do have to do our own cleaning, but we are able to borrow vacuums, cleaning supplies, anything else we might need!
What state is your roommate from? I can only understand "southern" Australians (i.e. from Queensland, New South Wales or South Australia). I cannot explain why their accents sound different if they're from those regions. Some are very surprised that I can guess if they're from Cairns, Adelaide or Sydney just by their accents. The most difficult ones come from Northern Territory and Western Australia.
She’s from Wollongong :)
Wow, I lived on a 38 foot sailboat for four years but my little home wasn't near that tidy and organized. But then again I'm a guy so ya know how that is. haha, Thanks for the tour..
That is awesome! I admire anyone who lives on a sailboat, that life looks incredible. Thanks for watching!
