Packing to work on cruise ships Part 1. A crew member onboard Virgin Voyages, The Valiant Lady.

Hey sailors,
The time has come. It is time for me to join Virgin Voyages The Valiant Lady. In this video, I am starting to organise my things in preparation for joining The Valiant Lady cruise ship in Rome, Italy.
If you are joining a cruise ship soon and need some help with packing and organising then this video is for you.

I just applied today to work for a cruise line so hopefully this information will come in handy soon!

[@vickielopresti5767]

As a passenger, i also take hangers!! They hever seem to give you enough, and when o have asked, about getting more, they have given me wire ones! Interesting, and informative vlog! Vickie from SE Pa USA

[@pejdaddy3]

i'm booked on the Valiant Transatlantic from Barcelona to Miami! If you're still there, I'll say hi!

[@typical__jasminexo]

I don’t want to work on a cruise ship, but I love your videos and you are such a lovely and informative person, hope the contract goes well x

[@CruisingAsCrew]

Wow, thank you so much! That's lovely of you to say!

[@evanprice2866]

Hey Lucy! Thank you so much for these videos! As I get ready to join the crew of the Scarlet Lady in a couple weeks time these packing videos are really saving me a ton of stress and guesswork!

[@Khumo_xoxo]

I just got my sign-on date!!! I’m so excited and now I’m trying to figure out how to pack 😂🇿🇦

[@saltybeachhair]

Hi Khumo! How are you getting on? How long have you been on the ship? Which ship is it please? Soz for all the questions but I'm just about to join a P&O ship as crew and any tips you have for a newbie would be greatly appreciated! Happy sailing! 🛳️ Claire ❤️

[@rachelwalker8775]

Hi Lucy. I don't work on cruises but I've done several as a passenger on P+O, Cunnard and Royal Caribbean. P+O is my favourite by far. I haven't been well enough the last few years to cruise but watching your content gets me so excited for cruising in the future. I just want to cruise now! It's so much fun and definitely not just for older people as I'm only in my 30's. I wish you a safe and happy contract and keep up the good work on this channel. Best wishes. Rachel

[@saltybeachhair]

Hi Rachel! I'm just about to join the P&O Arcadia ship as crew! Have you been on that ship before as a passenger? What did you think of it? I'm so glad that P&O was your favourite company to cruise with after all the others you have tried! That's a really good sign! 👍What makes P&O special for you? I'll be working in the shops so maybe one day I'll meet you on board! 😁 Happy sailing! 🛳️Claire ❤️

[@fredericpiller]

I’m pretty sure you’ll have a good chance to be granted shore leave around the Med this Spring. Things are easing up a lot around here!

[@alahajsalah5296]

Its ok to take spare face wash and and face creme spare shampoi and hair spray

[@NAVIGATOR600]

seabags or duffels are quite useful they fold up hold a lot and weigh little happy voyages !

Thank you keep shining God bless you❤😇🫂🌈🥰

[@markgriffin9353]

Not only are you a perfections witch is not a bad thing.! You are a well thought out person and well planned out person witch is a good thing . As a solo cruiser and a man I don't put half of that time planning when I pack. But then again I'm usually only going for 5 to 8 days! Take care be safe and I look forward to the up coming ventures and Vlogs !! Safe travels

[@nathanielwatkins7584]

Hopefully if all goes well I plan on being on two Virgin Voyage cruise ships this year.

[@itsednamonique6565]

How long did it take to hear back from them after applying? Also Congratulations I hope you’re enjoying it so far

[@syameze2227]

Great video‼️You mentioned doing your own nails. Do you get discounts getting your nails done aboard the ship spa?

[@cashjones6997]

Hi Lucy 👋🏾 I noticed you are packing some t-shirts that you brought the last time around. I lived out of one suitcase for 6 months while teaching English in South America and got so tired of the same tops. If I went back for a second trip I think I would prioritize different clothes. Is there a method/reason to packing the same items? Or are they just your favorite? Great video as always! I try to always comment to help the algorithm!

[@wokeupl8]

Can you pack full size shampoo/body wash with TSA restrictions?

[@RedEyeJase]

Hi Lucy does the company state what clothes or shoes will be provided to you in the contract or how do you find out what's needed?

[@Ver0NiKa_today]

How many suitcases do you need to pack all this thing? Looks like 3 or more😮

[@CruisingAsCrew]

Ha ha alot 😆 but I was only allowed 2.

[@iandarichards8778]

Not on Virgin but other cruise lines do!

@@CruisingAsCrew At least something thats Virgin doesnt do amaizingy. Up until this point you havent said anythin negative about them. Almost as if they dont have flaws...or you dont state them fearing retaliation.
