10 things I wish I knew before working on a cruise ship 🛳️🛟 Royal Caribbean cruise ship dancer

[@ffschoblocher]

My wife and I were on the ship mid May and we had a great cruise and really enjoyed the shows. Keep up the great work!!

[@darktheme1400]

I totally agree that when you are in a more diverse environment and exposed to different cultures and languages, this makes for a more well rounded individual. And that definitely comes across in your vlogs. Just keep being you😊😊

[@LordToogood]

Have you ever thought about writing your own novel in your down time? Not seeing the sun for days must be tough. Maybe you and the team could set up an online funding page for internet packages, thats outrageous that they just don't give you free wifi. (I know you can't comment and don't). I know on Celebrity, it ws like $35 per day per device for guests. Also Hello to Eve, Tassie, LJ, Claudia and sorry I forgotten some names but hello to the gang.

I have two little random hobby/free time suggestions - diamond paintings and paint by numbers! They are so addicting and you can order them online! Kinda nerdy/grandma vibes, my husband definitely makes fun of me for doing them, but they’re great haha

[@PianoconGuido]

The free time is real. As a musician we have a lot of free time compared to other positions, but it’s also not easy to fill it while you are stuck in a tiny cabin in the middle of the ocean, as you said. However grateful I am for the small amount of mandatory performing hours, free time and mental health is something serious and not to be taken lightly. I have even friends onboard from others departments that told me they would literally go crazy if they had so much free time on board. Thanks for bringing this point up.

[@kristinekugler]

@@PianoconGuido So true!! Every job is so different!!

[@alexkwan7266]

My family and I just watched your show Live Love and Legs last night. You and the cast were awesome. Thank You!

[@FraserAtSea]

I didn't realise crew wifi was so poor in comparison to guest wifi - I always just assumed we all shared the same connection!

[@MrCalifornia1234]

Thanks for being so open. Love your experiences and tips and could relate to the cabin fever one cruise I took without a porthole. Watching from Hawaii after a day at the beach surfing. 🏄‍♂️

[@CalmFuchsiaFlower-ei7rq]

Hi miss.Kristine kulger I'm also coming to join royal Caribbean group in celebrity solstice.... This august.

[@Ehudson657]

Can you go to the pool and other guest areas during your downtime?

[@kristinekugler]

We’re allowed to go in the pools if there’s less than 5 people in it and there are a bunch of rules with which guest areas we’re able to go to and what time we can go there so yes it depends!

[@MyShayCo]

Ah it's good to be back another super informative VLOG. I have loads to share with you. Born Alert..... I love to watch the Royal caribbean channel on the TV in the stateroom .Guess what popped up last week " the making of " The Effectors " 2021 the original cast. Armed with the knowledge that you kindly shared with us made this program so much more interesting. Also on Anthem of the Seas July 2024 was a show called " The Gift " ????????? looks very similar to your show " The Beautiful Dream " ?????? I know you probably have answered this one but how many contracts has Eve had ? Thank you so much for the VLOG 🍀Seamus 🍀

[@kristinekugler]

Yes the Beautiful Dream is a newer version of The Gift!! but very very similar! This is Eve’s 3rd contract! Glad you enjoyed your trip on Anthem! 🥰

[@Troy_Harland]

Great insight on ship life, not seeing sun for a few days seems crazy!! You definitely got a awesome roommate 👍🏻

[@djulson1]

Thank you, Kristine! 💚💚💚

[@richmiller2501]

Great Video and Great Info for those that need to know and people like my wife and I who wonder .

[@livwallace2275]

Hey Kristine I find your videos so interesting. Me and my husband love to cruise and holiday this way! I recently just returned from a cruise it was only a short one of 4 days but we had to abort our port due to bad weather so never got off the ship, the two days sailing back home were some of the roughest seas I had experienced and our cabin was second from the front of the ship 😅 I’ve been home now for a few days and still have vertigo. Just wondered if you could share whether you have ever experienced sea sickness or vertigo (sea legs vs land legs) and how you might combat it. Honestly has been enough to turn me off wanting to do another cruise anytime soon 😢

[@Craig-wr3bm]

Very nice to watch as your braids would change from 2-1 & side to side 😂 Suggestion, Can you work towards a Dance Captain position which brings more responsibilities & a larger single cabin? If you decide on a 3rd contact with RCCL. Last request, is it possible for you to load some of the other RCCL Shows that you have? If they have been shot in a more professional way than the average guest videos that aren’t always very complete😢 Those Shows would get you more Views & a possibility of more Subscribers to your KZbin channel & you could always start a additional channel of just RCCL Shows for additional revenue in the future.

[@kerrapeebles9674]

stay safe out there! ❤

[@meschahayes1003]

I liked that you added real life situations and not just vague statements. A bag on the floor, for example.

[@estebanlalosa900]

Hello there Kristine, I'm going to work on one of them. Which were the ships that you were working on? I'm curious about the WiFi.

[@kristinekugler]

I was on Odyssey and am now on Ovation of the Seas :)

[@JangoFett-lv2wz]

Thanks for another informative video. My question is; Are you not allowed to eat in the buffet where "guests" eat? On several of our cruises, we have seen performers eating there (where we ate). Enjoyed talking with a couple of them.

[@kristinekugler]

We can if we have guests onboard or we go during the last 30 mins of it closing for dinner and pay $3 :)

[@JangoFett-lv2wz]

@@kristinekugler Thanks for the reply. Good to know you won't starve. :-)

[@steefdrsteph]

Please I have questions about people living with vih is it possible to work on cruise ship

[@brianfoster4434]

Are roommates always in the same job specialty? Meaning... do bartenders always live with bartenders, etc.

[@kristinekugler]

for the most part but not necessarily!!

[@simplyboppingK]

Can you not buy a International phone package so you have service to surf the web? Or would that still be slow/expensive?

[@Noni-RoseHumphries]

I dont believe it works at sea, only in ports

[@kristinekugler]

We don’t have service when we’re out at sea :) just when we’re in port

[@simplyboppingK]

@@kristinekugler I figured but I wasn’t sure. Thanks for clarifying that!

[@VeryVirgo-Goddess]

Do they change your rooms after contracts or they get you new ones and do you chose a roommate for yourself

[@shawnasings]

You and Eve both got very lucky. I love watching your friendship. ❤

[@ryanm7249]

They sure are! It’s not always like that even in college. One time in college I had a crappy roommate and luckily they moved me.

[@drake.707]

Personally I find their friendship to be fake and or disappointing.

[@kristinekugler]

@@shawnasings I definitely did 🥹🥰

[@kristinekugler]

@@drake.707 you must be new here

[@Noni-RoseHumphries]

If you miss the mess, can you get pizza from sorrentos or Cafe promenade?

[@kristinekugler]

We can go to sorrentos if we get dressed in smart casual attire and it’s not busy!

[@VeryVirgo-Goddess]

Can you eat in any restaurant on board 🤔 even if you pay

[@didiermcginnis]

As a crew member wifi is definitely expensive,apart from that crew life is great for me

[@virginiamartin2758]

thanks for sharing!

[@mariazebra47]

whats your favorite food on board?

[@stephenmaher1029]

Still love the music 🎶

[@kazagirl]

Why don’t you work WiFi? I’ve seen other vloggers work WiFi to save money.

[@FeinLineMusic]

I still want to collab on a musical episode with y'all! Have a wonderful summer to you, Eve and all your amazing adventures! 🎵

[@Megan_8403]

Just popping by to say Hi.

[@diabeticnomad]

Yearly video series?

[@JuneRaeder-MacKinnon]

Good video

[@Noni-RoseHumphries]

If you and your room mate dont get along, can you request to swap?

[@kristinekugler]

Yes you can request but it can be a long process :)

[@RobertHansenRob]

Hi Kristine. You do an amazing job getting your you tube vlogs out with the limited WiFi for sure. I saw your instagram , I'm sure i saw someone being taken out on a stretcher ? Hope everyone is ok. (Dont think i was dreaming?) Rob

[@kristinekugler]

Thank you so much! That was for a drill, I’ll explain it all in the next video!

[@RobertHansenRob]

@@kristinekugler I didn't think about a drill. No need to panic then , you're all ok!

[@themorgansophia]

Will I ever work on a cruise ship? No. But I love your videos!!!

[@wendyponsford7428]

“Things I wish I had known…”

[@drake.707]

Are there any hot girls that work on the cruise?

[@alyxibiteu51]
