Cruise Directors get HUGE cabins compared to crew. Here's the 4 most common cabins, small to large!

I’ll be getting that cruise director cabin soon… like 5 years.

[@bookworm8415]

I have never seen a cruise Director able to sit down or work less than an 16 hour day.

[@NickSmith-fe7lp]

That’s what I was thinking. It’s kind of ironic that the person who gets the least down time gets the most space They totally deserve it though with how much they work!

[@finitoackermann]

@@NickSmith-fe7lp yeah I think the point is because they have a crazy amount of work they’re given the nicest room so they can enjoy any little downtime they have

[@designdoctor247]

i was thinking that...like when r they IN the CABIN...the ones on our cruises seem to ALWAYS be introducing and ending EVERY show... they r running all over the ship checking on and encouraging staff and guest...maybe the extra room is to have meetings w their staff? All i know is i think they earn the cabin space but do not get to enjoy it...

[@MillerGirl32488]

In July of 2010 my husband and I took our first cruise! (Honeymoon) RC Freedom of the Seas, that cruise director was GOLDEN. Honestly he MADE that cruise feel like a party. We were so sad to see him go and every cruise since then has never had a cruise director like him! Ugh! Miss it!!

[@stylo8845]

Dang who needs a director when they got you.

[@iCazZiStronZi]

The cruise director gets a better cabin than most of the passengers

[@charlesborlase2238]

just spent two weeks on Oceania. Can confirm. Cruise Director is pretty sweet. Not where I stayed, but comparison: that suite is nice and roomy.

[@oturanfishcake]

As they should. They rarely even get a day off

[@iCazZiStronZi]

@@oturanfishcake I am not saying they shouldn’t. I just didnt expect that. Normally the crew quarters are very small from what I’ve seen and a lot of them have to share rooms and a washroom with the cabin beside them. So like a lot of them have to share a washroom between 4 crew members. And also I heard, I don’t know if its true or not, but the crew like the waiters and room cleaners don’t even get a paycheque, their payment is the gratuity like what the guests tip them at the end of the trip

[@Assefinho1]

@@iCazZiStronZiit’s not true. If it was the case, it would be slavery. They do get a low pay check though, so the tips are important and play a big part on their income

[@iCazZiStronZi]

@@Assefinho1 ah ok thank you, I wasn’t sure if that was true or not

[@monniehenson3002]

Do you get to pick or do they just assign you to a rm

[@yanchooous]

They assign you to a room based on your position. It all varies depending on the company and the ship.

[@zachm241]

In previous videos, this guy said he was assigned new rooms, so I believe there's an amount of room rotation

[@Josh-ue3ns]

Was an Art Director on Regent for a long time - 700 sq ft passenger balcony cabins with a walk in closet and living room. It was the absolute tits!

[@alaska79]

What an Art Director do on a cruise ship? Make sure all the art and decor is up to spec?

[@mikehunt221]

@@alaska79I’m really curious too

[@RichmondHomesandLifestyle]

​ @mikehunt221 The Art program is a vendor just like the onboard shops or casino. The art program maintains the dedicated onboard art gallery and holds gallery hours daily. Typically auctioneers will also host 1-2 hour seminars on sea days on different art topics. The most well known event the Art Director holds are the at sea auctions. Typically every sea day there will be an art auction that will last about 3 hours with a 2-3 hour "preview" before hand where guests can come view the art and inquire if they are interested in purchasing any. Lastly, we build relationships with the passengers and hang out with them during their cruise at cruise events, dinner, shows and bars. On Port days we're off having fun!

What kind of cabin does an officer (nurse) typically get? Love these vid by the way!

[@caroln63]

the cabin with the folding upper bunk usually. accountants and some pursers are also considered officers but they share (option 2) as well. depends on your seniority and on what is available as far as the cabins assigned to your department.

[@Mika-85]

Nurses usually get single cabins.

[@Kid_Kat98]

Makes me think of staterooms on my ship lol! I work/live on an aircraft carrier and for the enlisted berthings it can be from like 30 racks (bunks stacked 3 high) to like 300 racks! The staterooms are for the officers and can be from 1 to 6 racks, and the CO and XO have their own spaces like the director's cabin, but the CO has a much bigger space. Also, the CO has an "in port" cabin and an "at sea" cabin lol.

A room? Nah they toss them in the same place as where they store food 😂.

[@tjav001]

Can you get the officers quarters? I’m interested what the chief engineers and the captain looks like.

[@lexa_power]

I always had a single dorm in college and looking back I wish I had a roommate then because I feel like as an only child and then having had a single dorm in college I’ll never have that experience of having shared a room with another person who isn’t my romantic partner. And i feel like it’s probably a good experience to have / a good exercise in empathy, patience, and tolerance! But as an American I haven’t really figured out how to crack the code of applying for these jobs since they seem to mostly only be available to people from other countries when I browse for the job listings for things I’d be qualified to do (which isn’t much haha). My background is in film and television production, mostly experience working on set in the production department, so I think being able to make call sheets and stuff would be a transferable skill to making the daily agenda or doing something audio / video related with my technical skills or making highlight reels or something to show the passengers with my video editing skills…. Any idea what job on a ship I’d be qualified for? I dream of a life at sea, even if it makes no money! 🚢⚓️ I have a rent controlled apartment in LA that’s less than half of market value that I’d love to rent out and just get on a ship and see where life takes me!

As soon as you get Sous Chef and above you will get a personal cabin

Does the solo cabins have their own toilet and not a shared one

[@ilkla8985]

so the worst one is the bunk one

[@keepdancingmaria]

It would be for me, personally, yes. WORST would be to have a room mate who wants to be all social with me, and works the same shifts as I do. Better would be to have someone willing to just do his/her own thing and leave me to do mine. Better than that would be to have a room mate who works a different shift than I do. But I think that a line that cared would make the effort to pair people who work different shifts. And all those would just be luck of the draw... I wouldn't mind sharing a bath room, so long as they cleaned up after themselves....
