working on a cruiseline sounds so intense, i understand a lot of employees on the ship are foreigners and are used to working long hours, but for americans who work onboard, my hat goes off to you. It would be much nicer if they had more crew members and alternated the shifts to where you're only working 8-10 hours a day instead of 12-16. One set of crew members works 8-4 and the other works 4-12 or so.
Yes but to house so many crew members wouldn't be beneficial to the cruise lines. I think this is why its so rare to find Americans working on cruise ships!
@@TeenG I'm thinking of signing up to do this once everything in the world clears up. Do you think the shortage of United States workers willing to work the hours would make them seem more favorable and hireable?
The reason foreigners work on board is the same reason they move to other countries Money my fried Is not because we are use to work long hours In Brazil were I am from we work 8 hours a day and we have several laws to protect us for example if we get sacked we will receive a salary until we get another job ( max 6 months). First time I worked long shifts was in a cruise ship. When I lived in England I have had long shifts as well in a coffee shop I worked 12 hours with 20/20 min breaks.
Just curious how the "privileges" work? How do they determine who can do thinks like go to upper decks and who can't? I'm at WDW as an attendant right now on a CP but just applied to BBB on DCL since most of my experience before Disney is at Sephora so I thought it would be a good fit and now I'm so curious about all these things.
It all depends on your department and your ranking. So smaller departments tend to have more privilages because if you let 15 people go to the upper decks its a lot less crowded then having a department of 300 allowed to go up.
Oh my gosh!!! Your job looks like so much fun! I live in Canada and I'm hoping to get into the online international course at the Disney College and get myself a work visa so I would be able to work with DCL. This video really made me smile! :)
This whole "Not allowed in guest areas without special privileges" seems ridiculous! If you're not in uniform the guests won't realize you're an employee anyway.
I thought that in the beginning too, but i started to understand it because if you let every department on the ship have the same privileges, there could be 1,000 crew members lounging by the guest pools. Guests would be paying so much and have no where to sit, etc. I know where they are coming from too!
Teen G Yes! We loved it it was our first halloween on the ship. We’re platinum members and have been on plenty LOL. When you said October 2017 I was like wait a minute. Love your videos!
I’ve been on 7 Disney cruises and never knew that this was how the workers were treated I see so many people throwing shade at the workers especially the life guards.
Wait so if you don’t have privileges you can’t go to the upper decks at all? Like even if you’re not working? Also how does that work for like eating the guest food at the poolside places and stuff?
If you want more Disney Cruise Line secrets, watch me spill ALL of the tea from my cabin on the ship! This video will go private again soon, so watch while you can! ruclips.net/video/439aKY6OcP4/видео.html
Know anything about working as a character on the cruise ships? I hears somewhere that the same person is playing that character for the entire cruise and they dont alternate between people like they do in the parks and i was just curious
I’m wondering what you mean by “the Disney look.” Specifically are there height and weight requirements? You mentioned your nose ring. What else is banned?
hello I just had my first interview for working in disney cruise line and I am quite nervous to leave my country to live this experience (I am french) but I am more confident seeing your video... thank you hope to be able to rock ! :)
@@TeenG thank you very much. I just had the answer yesterday after my interview with american recruter and it is positive ! still making all the process for visa stuff. I will keep watching your videos it is really interesting.
Could I kindly ask what role you were in? I live in the UK so I’d love to know how your friend applied - so far all I can find on the DCL UK jobs page is contractor companies in France 😵💫. TIA!
What ship were you on, ive been on the dream once, fantasy twice, magic once and I’m going on the magic again in November! I’m really excited because I want to meet my friends I made last time on the magic (they are youth councillors) that I met in October 2017
Smaller departments get more privilages because if they go to a restaurant no one will notice. If a department with 400+ members is allowed to go to a restaurant there would be no room for guests!
@@TeenG cool. They should really do nights where just the cast member can do something. There is so much for the guest on board that if one area was shut down or "private event" they would never know the difference. Also, I understand the love hate relationship with Disney. My daughter was in the College Program and was a full time employee after. Agree 100 % on the medical. They could do way better for you guys. She now works for Universal and loves it.Also, there are "college" type programs(you dont have to be in college) all over the country you could work ... on LAND. 😂🤣 2 years ago she worked at the grand canyon for 6 months and this past year she worked in Alaska for 6 months. Now she is talking about going over seas. Lol
If you got into trouble for something, could you tell them “i was just going with the flow”? i bet not.. So why the hell can they tell you that during training and when asking questions? A setup for failure? Anyone in training, i wouldn’t take that. Do your self a favor and be persistent and get your questions answered. Don’t be worried about looking like a pest. Most of us know what a pest is and sounds like.. Being persistent getting your questions answered is not it.. Most would call that Sharp... On top of things... Eager... etc. Nothing worse than being on the job and having no idea what to do.
I think its hard for the shoreside trainers because many of them have never been on the ship and don't know the answers. You are so right! Thank you so much for watching!
Disney Cruise Line is a great company to work, you can get in touch with us if you want to start your professional career on board! We have many vacancies available at the moment for the largest cruise companies in the sector! We also have opportunities on luxury mega yachts!
I could never never live like that with all those people and be responsible for a lot lol. Omg idk how any of you guys can do all that and be with each other all the time. I would cry and tell everyone to get the hell away from me.
I enjoyed your video, but let me pass on some wise experience I've acquired over the years when it come to "asking questions" - especially if you're the kind of person who likes to ask a lot of questions, as you mentioned. Here's what I've learned that will best serve your interests: (1) People, including teachers, really don't like to be asked a lot of questions. You would think they do, but deep down they really don't. That doesn't mean they don't mind being asked a question here and there - which leads to the next point, (2) Only ask a question when you truly do not understand something and that "something" is going to be a "direct" responsibility of yours. This situation is different from asking a bunch of questions out of just "curiosity" or amusement - those kind of questions will get on people's nerves because much of what you will ask will likely be eventually covered. So, only ask something that (a) you truly don't understand and (b) it's something you will absolutely need to understand for you to continue to the next part of whatever it is you're learning. As someone suggested "just go with the flow." (3) and the most important point of all, especially if you're ever in a supervisory position or position of authority ...Only ask questions that you already know the answer to. While that might sound kind of dumb - give it time, as you get older and more experienced in life, you will come to see the wisdom and benefit of this. It will help you see who (above you or below you) truly knows their stuff. This point comes right out of Donald Trump's book "The Art of the Deal." Read it. Forget what you might personally think of him, it will teach you a lot about people, their personality types and how to deal with others. You might not realize it, but you're always "negotiating" with others in everything you do - even in a relationship or marriage. There's a lot to be learned from people who are successful, and he has certainly been successful, no matter his personal attributes. I think you're a good person, with a good attitude and most importantly, a good work ethic - and that will always serve you well. I wish you the very best of luck! :-)
Thank you so much for this comment. I read all of it and I really appreciate you taking the time to write this comment. I also appreciate you watching the video!! Thank you!
I know you guys you work your booty off because me and everybody wants to make that big break and v Star and I wish it for all of you but I just wish you all the best because you work your ass off and probably for very little money.
I think it means that depending on your position and ranking. you might NOT be allowed into public spaces on the ship. This is the difference between "Crew" (lowest ranking), Staff (middle) and officers (top with all privileges). Crew usually cant enter public spaces other than for work and using full working suits. Some staff do have the permission to wander around the ship public spaces, and very few have the full privileges of entering the restaurants to eat and/or use the facilities. Officers pretty much can do whatever they please I guess.
It makes sense that crew don't eat with passengers and lounge around the public pool areas. Officers are on view to use their personal skills & ocean/ship knowledge to schmooze with passengers.
Fab video, we love DCL and I’m obsessed with these kind of back stage vids, thank you
I am so happy you enjoyed it!! I am a big fan of guest sailing too! I love a cruise vacation!
The Palo soufflé is fire. Just had it last week
I’m interested in being apart of Disney course line as chef do you have any intale on the chef’s

Thats so awesome! How fun to be able to live near the ships!
Gianna Alexis yes it definitely is
We can hear them from our house
Is it need to go through the shore side training before every time join the ship / only first time.

I would say that's pretty accurate!
