🚢 WANT TO WORK ON CRUISE SHIPS? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Sail For Success is the step-by-step course that helps you apply, stand out and get hired. - Join the course: https://www.cruisingascrew.com/course/#next-step - Free masterclass: https://www.cruisingascrew.com/free-training/ Hey sailors, Today we’re talking about why one cruise ship contract can feel amazing, while another can feel like absolute hell. A lot of people think a contract is a contract, but anyone who has worked onboard knows that is not true. The itinerary, your manager, your colleagues, your cabin, your roommate, the food in the mess, the guests, the culture in your department, your level of freedom onboard, and even the time difference from home can completely shape your experience. In this video, I break down the biggest things that make or break a cruise ship contract and explain why two people can do the same job at sea but walk away having had completely different experiences. If you’ve worked on cruise ships before, let me know in the comments:What do you think makes or breaks a contract the most?
