I’ve always said that some of my closest, longest-lasting friendships came from working on cruise ships. But after falling down a trauma bond TikTok rabbit hole, I started wondering — why do these friendships feel so intense? In this video, I talk honestly about: -why cruise ship friendships form so fast -how long hours, shared stress, and huge life changes bond people together -why working 12–14 hours a day can bring people closer -how proximity, isolation, and being far from home accelerates connection -and why these friendships often last long after the contract ends This isn’t about saying cruise ship life is bad, I loved my time at sea. But intense environments create intense bonds, and cruise ships are one of the most unique environments you can work in. If you’ve ever worked on a cruise ship, you’ll probably understand this instantly. 💬 Were your cruise ship friendships different from “normal” friendships? 💬 Do you still talk to people from your contracts years later? Let me know in the comments — I read them all.
