How lenient are supervisors of cruise ships employees? Can they recieve mail, use internet, so on & so forth ? |
Travel Info Can they sleep in their own clothes? Do they have to eat what's on the ship or can they bring their own food aboard and store it or have it shipped to them? How many hours per day of free time do they get? Do they put them together as room mates? Travel Tips It's a ship, it's not jail! :o) Of course you can receive mail, it gets delivered every time the ship returns to port. If you want food sent to you, that would come on port days too. Most ships now have a crew internet cafe, it's a little cheaper than what passengers pay. Still expensive though and as the signal is from satellites, it is often unavailable. You have to just keep trying. You can sleep in whatever you want. No-one's going to monitor what you do in your own cabin. You will share a cabin with someone you work with (so stewards room with stewards, shop staff room with shop staff etc). My ship docked in Sydney every 10 days or so, and most of the crew would head to the supermarket! We didn't have fridges in our cabins, but I hear that they do on Princess ships. You can bring your own food into the mess. The amount of time off you get depends what job you do. Dancers and cruise staff get quite a bit of free time, room stewards get very little. I was youth staff, so while I worked 10 hours on sea days, I could be rostered to do as little as 3 hours on a port day. Have a look at www.pocruises.com.au, www.princess.com, www.carnival.com and check out the jobs section. Hope this helps!
