A few questions that you commonly hear from pasengers when working onboard. (Honest)

What time is the midnight buffet?

Does this elevator take me to the back of the ship?

Does this elevator go to deck 4?

Do the crew sleep on board?

Will we see dolphins in the morning?

Can we look at the anchor? (When anchored!)

Do the lifeboats really float?

Can you move the lifeboat from our stateroom window?!

Has this ship ever sunk before? (Hmm!)

(On formal night at Captain's Cocktail) Who's driving the boat?

Why are we not docked (urhhh... because there's no pier??!!!)

What do I do with my life jacket after boat drill?? (Hmmm... lemme think...)

Do these stairs go up?

Is the water in the toilet salt water or fresh water? (Why dont you taste it!)

Welcome

Many people dream of travelling the world and working on board a cruise ship not only allows you to fulfill your dream but to get paid for it too.

However, is it to good to be true?

Here on our aim is to give you honest advice and information from crew, both past and present across the board. You'll find posts from casino staff - waiters - officers....and more. These posts are from my friends, friends of friends and others who have just stumbled across this post and wanted to contribute.

You'll be able to build up a picture of what your daily routine will involve , the places you'll get to visit and which ship would be best for you. Some ships are dry, which means no alcohol for crew, some do not allow smokers, some ships give extra duties and some are well known as party ships!

Be sure to check back soon as shipmates is growing all the time.

There will also be a forum coming soon.

If you have any questions then please post them too.
