our life on board

in #life6 years ago

--- this is just a perks of working on cruise ship , you can travel many places all over the world, many beautiful spots, beautiful locations for tourists, we, as crew also experienced what our guests experienced, mostly likely about 80% because the only thing we dont have much unlike our guests is our TIME , We are working atleast 11 hours a day NO DAY OFFS! THE WHOLE CONTRACT !!!

DO YOU WANT TO BE ONE OF US ???

() ----------------------SELFIE AFTER DUTY :D -------------------------



We are far far away from our family, from our love ones, its a BIG SACRIFICE on our part.! --------------WE ARE IN NORWAY---------------------



But still we keep managing ourselves every single time, we make sure that we stay positive, focus and happy in life.

Working on a cruise ship is somehow most people desires, but not all the people who work on board have the COURAGE, GUTS, STRENGTH to stay strong, because base on my personal experience on our Department, FOOD AND BEVERAGE DEPARTMENT, atleast 2/5 crew will go home because the cannot handle the job, the stress!

Imagine while you were sleeping then there's drill, it's mandatory you need to attend the drill even that is your resting hours.
WHAT IS ON BOARD DRILL ?
it is a preparatory measure in case of emergency, everyone on board must attend the drill, even the guests they should be.
i just woke on this shot because we have a drill..

And this is your small space for next 8 to 9 months of your life on board.

each cabin consits of 2 crew, sharing 1 cabin, and then the BATHROOM shared by 4 people, 2 other crew on the next door.

YES sir ! working on board is not easy as you think, we are drown not in water but in stress everyday of our lives, because of too much work that given to us, pressure that throwing at you from your higher position, most of our BIG BOSS shouting on us ! yes ! they shout on us and treat us like we are the dumbest person they ever met.

They treat us like slaves on board ! WE ARE SLAVES ! that's the main idea, we are working like a bull, and still we are under appreciate, used, and descriminate , descrimination are also exists on board !

Like us Asians, because we are ASIANS ! they look us differently..

YES ! THEY MAYBE RIGHT ! BUT ONE THING IS FOR SURE..
WE ARE HAPPY PEOPLE :D AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG ABOUT IT.

With regards to our guests , atleast 90% of the guests on board are nice, good people, they treat us nicely !
the give us tips and show some love sometimes :D

with regards to women.. because many people says " when you work on a crusie ship you have lots of different ladies "

yeah ! maybe they right! but still have options, :D haha i mean options if you want to engage on women or save money !!!

yes! it is a battle inside you.. because you can't have a women on board without spending EURO or DOLLOR to them..

so you decide.. between money or you know....... hahahaha

and we also celebrate parties on board
