[@captainjohn49]

Thanks for the fun video! 😀 Fair winds. And, CONGRATULATIONS on reaching 70,000 subscribers!!! Woo Woo!! 😀😀😀

[@CruisingAsCrew]

Ahh thanks John. Can't believe it. Woooo

[@brucegordon4992]

Now that is a shocking concept - that one can have predictably better results if one treats others nicely!

[@olenfersoi8887]

As a guy, I must say you are a pleasure to watch. But, even more, your honest videos are also a breath of fresh air.

[@CruisingAsCrew]

Thank you xx

[@RyanK-100]

A really good analysis while dispelling some silly rumors. And you're right about safety. I think cruises are VERY safe ... for being a traveling city on the ocean hundreds of miles away from any real "help." So there are no guarantees like life in general. I feel much safer on a cruise ship than I do driving 65 mph on a freeway.

[@neilonside8890]

😂😂 I am still laughing at the, do they throw the bodies overboard question. Top notch video 👍

[@MarkBirmingham-j4s]

Thanks for the video. I'm a huge fan of your videos about cruise ships. Keep up the great job updating about the ship's 👍🌹❤️

[@CruisingAsCrew]

Thank you!

[@AlVlogs1603]

Having cruised since I was 8 years old and I’m now 65 I could tell you a few stories !!!!!!

[@Ashanti0826]

That cruise ships a rocking..don't come knocking!🤣❤️ Awesome video! Great channel

[@JuliRoxArt]

This is so interesting! I love how passionate you are about working on cruise ships. Thanks for the wealth of knowledge you always give us 😄

[@CruisingAsCrew]

Ahh my pleasure! Thank you for watching!

[@jenniferferreira9061]

Lucy you’re just fabulous. ❤❤❤.

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Love you Lucy! Be well. ❤

[@mrstoives2444]

I’ve got a cruise booked on P&O next month. Wohoo 🍍🍍🍍

[@PXX-t1j]

I got bedbugs in a pax cabin. Told the reception and they'd change the sheets, don't know if they sprayed in the cabin also but no problems after that.

[@godfreyhamshire]

On ships I worked on they always used the Fish Freezer to store the "departed" till they got to a suitable port. It was some thing else to go and check on the Freezer and find a surprise there in body bag. Enjoy your videos. Keep them rolling.

[@didiermcginnis]

Hi Lucy, I'm starting my magnet collection

[@dndrusso]

So glad to hear that you rank Disney high for safety as my son will be starting his second contract with them as a main stage performer. 😅

[@designdoctor247]

your hair flip ❤ at the beginning wow wow wow

[@keeganmcgilacuddy472]

Love your vlog!

[@tolgasertoglu7356]

Long time no see Lucy! I see that you are doing well. Brenda says hi :) Lemme fix some *myths* though; 1) passengers and crew hook up all the time = yes they do. Lot lot lot more than you think :) 2)infested with bed bugs = nope. Maybe only happens with really smaller,regional lines but none of the big guys. 3)crew quarters are filthy = primarily depends on the cruise line and the ship. Ive seen really filthy crew areas and really clean crew areas all under same company. 4)cruise ship dump waste = nope. Only food waste gets dumped after 5 miles out of coast which is basically fish food at that stage. 5)passengers can bribe crew members = HELL yeah. Smart passengers will *bribe* few people during embarkation day; -their housekeeper = you will get a lot of free stuff including free laundry -your dining room waiter = you will get whatever you want -your favorite bar guy or coffee guy= you wont pay for anything for the rest of the voyage. In most cases being polite+kind works considering how karen most passengers are. 6)food in the crew mess is leftover from buffet = depends on the ship ajd f&b manager. Some f&b managers bring all the buffet leftovers for midnight workers. Some only give desserts,some f&b throws all leftovers to garbage. 7)what happens in the crew bar stays in the crew bar = yes if you are a guy. Partly yes if you are an average looking woman. Definitely no if you are an attractive woman/man. 8)who the heck started that *if you die,they throw you overboard* nonsense? Probably same people who started *stuff is cheaper on the last day*. 9) nobody put nobody in ice cream machine. Its most likely a nonsense myth that some crewmember started back in the day. 10)*you are a slave* = yes and no. Depends on where you are from. People from third world countries gets paid more and anyway they work more on land since third world countries have no labor laws. People from developed countries generally work to see the world. And a lot of *wage* theft happens with all that extra work unaccounted for in kronos. Its part slavery and no,just because you *accept* it,doesnt make it non slavery. Also only few departments have the priviledge to go out. Thats why you dont see a british or canadian cleaner. 11)nobodys gonna die during an emergency.

[@kenadams4968]

Great myth busting, Lucy. That myth about bodies in the ice cream freezer may have started up again due to an episode of NCIS where a sailor died in a submarine and the only place they had to keep it was the ice cream freezer. Who knows, though. Anyway, keep up the great content!

[@CruisingAsCrew]

Thank you so much Ken!

[@tahoemike5828]

One thing I learned in resort world is that some people have to take it day in and day out at their job and part of being on vacation, for them, is getting their turn to dish it back (It's 'I'm the Captain now' day). I kind of learned to just let them go for a bit, then look at them until they realize; and ask, "Feel better now?" Of course, their mileage varies in relation to my level of caffeination.

[@alfredovicent6309]

Hello, I have been following you for a while and you are great, in February I had an interview with Virgin Voyages and I approved it for the position of Front Desk, I signed a pre-contract and I already took the sailor course, but after that I have not received a date yet, how long will it take? Does the Front Desk department take time to board and do you think my date is for high seasons?

[@abril438]

Hi Lucy, I like your videos so much. I´m very interested in the Medical Center, a nurse job in a cruise, etc. Do you have any story about that?? Have you been in the MC, can you tell us something about that? Thank you !!

[@HariSeldon913]

Just an idea, but you could do a video telling about each of the magnets on the board behind you. If you could name the year and cruise line you were on I'd be very impressed. If you just made it up for any you don't remember I'd never know the difference. 😺😺

[@CruisingAsCrew]

This is a great idea! Thank you. I will ad it to my video list!

[@0tispunkm3y3r]

Toilet waste gets thoroughly processed. Essentially what comes out the other end is potable water and dry, compacted solid waste. The solids are stored and taken away at port.

[@amykathleen2005]

I see so many videos of crew members who work in shops or entertainment but do the cleaners or wait staff have time to get off and see the sites.

[@eleonelo40]

Hi, one question please, I understand that most shipping companies require an interview with the agency of my country and another directly with the shipping company. Why in the case of Virgin Voyages was it first with the agency in my country, and then with another agency which is Apollo Group?

[@Baby_proandfadaclat]

Which Cruise ship do you recommend for work?

[@lagssss]

4:28 wota

[@PXX-t1j]

They have mourges today, but not all had it before. And if someone died, well you put them in the freezer can't have them laying around. But yes probably not common today since they have mourge

[@patti1044]

The morgue/ice cream freezer story is so stupid but people do repeat it.

[@Atem_S.]

Those are some wild claims.... Body in the freezer... 😂😂😂

[@glowgloriaofficial]

Yes I been working on cruise ship for 3 contracts and yes it’s slavery 😢

[@Sgt.Slaughter]

Which department?

[@lordtrouble6853]

How is it slavery? You are choosing to work there and, in fact, have CHOSEN to do so multiple times

[@yesterdayseyes]

You signed the contract 3 times. If you feel that way, do something else! You are not a slave. Ridiculous.

[@jeremiahlumpkin5552]

There was an incident a couple years ago in which a man died on a Caribbean cruise, his body was placed in the morgue, but unfortunately the refrigeration failed unbeknownst to everyone and by the time the ship returned to Florida in three or four days he was starting to rot.

[@joelt5680]

Another awesome video! Thanks
