Thank you for doing this I use to work on the Pride of America when it first came out and we were sent to Germany to pick it up and sailed it to Hawaii. I remember the crew bar were we spent a lot of time and money, It was cool seeing how everything has not changed too much since I was last on the ship. I left in 2007
Hi! I’m 18 and got hired on as an Assistant waiter! This was abt a month ago that I accepted my offer and I m still waiting on Anderson Kelly, just resending in signed documents. How long did your MMC medical, and then to Training take for you? Are you still on the POA how’s it going?
Thank you so much for doing this! I was scouring the interwebs trying to get a look at the crew amenities and food! 😂Ill be joining soon! Ill be sure to say hi if youre still around!🎉
Thanks for the review of the PoA... She hasn't changed much since I was on in 2006-7. It is nice to see her again since I have been land locked for over 15 years... Enjoy your contract as much as I have been enjoying your videos.
Ngl this is somewhat reassuring I mean I'll be joing pride of America soon and this really help me feel some ease. Hopefully I finished my piney point training that will come soon... thank you so much
That is awesome! Thanks for the tour. My wife and two daughters (10 & 12) will be on your ship for the July 30th sailing. Hope to see you there! Have a spectacular 4th of July holiday!
Awesome content! Thank you for the tour and being one of the few to give thorough info of crew areas in English. Looking forward to starting my first contract, my next step is Piney Point. Sadly I had to cut my hair.

I just managed to flunk out! I failed the first practical firefighting test. It was putting on the gear in under 3 minutes. Couldn’t get my second glove on. Such is life. Onward and upward. I hope every enjoys working on POA as much as I think I would. Bon Voyage Sailors!
I’m about to work on ship! Thanks for video! How often do you get off boat? I live on Oahu and was curious about time off boat on Oahu? If I’m correct Sundays for 3 hours? Thank you so much
Hi! It will depend on your position and work schedule. Saturdays in Honolulu are usually the busiest day for most people since it's a turn around day. (Sunday is Maui!) :)
Hi Krista, I am going to be working as shore excursions on the ship, do crew members get to walk around guest areas and eat in food areas too? Thank you ahead of time.
Hi Krista.. Your videos are super helpful for me as im a newbie… Can you share some information about Costa cruises.. Will be joining as a production dancer in a few weeks… And thanks again for making such informative videos
Hello. I am a singer and I would like to go perform on a Cruise ship as a guest entertainer and not a production singer. What is the way to apply for this position? Thank you very much!

Hello There ,I'll be on board soon,and I really want to know about waiters daytime,maybe you have a friend or coworker in that particular area ,will be great if you get some information for us ,maybe you can invites someone from the restaurant crew and talk about it ,thanks so much
Hey Hey! Question: After your TWIC appointment, did they mail the card to your home? How long did it take after your appointment? I'm at that point currently for a waiter position.
Hi! Yeah I had it mailed to my house and I don’t remember exactly how long it took. I wanna say a few weeks? But that was about a year ago so I forget 😅

Two off the wall questions, as you build your following have you started earning revenue from your videos? (nice way to make a little $ from all your work on this channel) Also, more cruise related, if a guest/follower invited you for dinner on a cruise are you allowed to dine with them? Just curious as to the rules, as I know people who have dined with executive crew (cruise director, hotel director, etc).
I have, yes! just a little bit so far! It depends on the cruise line. In the past we went to dinner with guests as part of our job, but on my current ship if a guest randomly asked me to go to dinner I think I would need prior approval from my supervisor! The CD and HD often have dinner with guests though!
@@krista.jocelyn during the class for my second week we where in Mardi gra for our training and one of the officers or security officers mentioned you saying that you walked around route 66 with your phone and said you where a singer and a dancer and i knew who he was talking about because i watched your video before i left and completed my piney point training he said yea she wasnt supposed to do that and lol it sure was funny not going to lie but hey you make really good vlog videos any suggestions on what to do in hawaii i am currently a assistant waiter in room service
Crew area looks like a high school gym and cafeteria. Not luxurious, but for many of the crew who come from "3rd-world countries", it's probably better than what they are used to.

Yay!! The MMC takes the longest. Took me like two months 😣
@@krista.jocelyn oh goodness. i’m too excited to wait 2 months. jeeeeez.
@@MariO-wh6dr haha they were super delayed before so maybe they're caught up and it won't take so long now!
Hi Krista, I am going to be working as shore excursions on the ship, do crew members get to walk around guest areas and eat in food areas too? Thank you ahead of time.
It depends on your position but I believe shore excursions can eat in the guest buffet! (Not 100% positive)
I think you can walk around, but still need your name tag on your top.
Interesting...thanks.
Hi Krista.. Your videos are super helpful for me as im a newbie…
Can you share some information about Costa cruises..
Will be joining as a production dancer in a few weeks…
And thanks again for making such informative videos
Hi! Ive never worked for Costa so I really don't know much about them unfortunately! I would imagine things are similar though!
@@krista.jocelyn Ohh.. Thanks for replyin’ !
Hi Krista, great video. Please discuss the vegetarian menu for crew.
Question 🙋 is there Red Bull on the ship and how much is unlimited use of internet a month on board pride of America
There should be Red Bull, yes. I don’t think they have unlimited. You buy by the hour!

Questions - Can crew members send laundry out? Is there a way to find out whether shore Excursions staff can get passenger status?
I believe you can send laundry out. It’s a certain number of items per time. And I’m not sure about the passenger access!
Can you tell me about your Training ??
