I personally want to THANK those COOKS. Keeping the crew Feed for the 10 Long months. Yes they must get along. I just say WOW three males, making wonderful meals as this amazing ship goes across Ocean. Such dedication to COOKING duty's. The RICE especially. I respect those Three. And admire them so much. What a food work force.

Filipinos make this world a better place. Worked with many. Salamat.

[@henrycarlson7514]

Thank You for another fine video showing more of the underapreciated hard working crew that every good crew needs to function

[@vickyb5935]

The next time something “small” gets on our nerves or we feel like life isn`t treating us right, lets think about these 3 great guys who I`m sure are just thankful to have a job and be able to support their families back home. Thanks Tristan for giving these deserving guys some “air time”!

[@the_crewchef]

Yes chefs! Loved seeing them on screen, and totally appreciate the tough job they have. 10 months non-stop, thats hardcore!

[@VSA3010]

I watch your videos regularly and I love them. I am your subscriber.

[@annemacleod1421]

Fab tour…such a lovely kitchen crew….they work so incredibly hard with no natural light, no porthole! Appreciate you letting us meet them, Tristan. 🇳🇿🇳🇿🐑🐑NZ

[@MaryLorraine8]

Hey Captain, That’s my handsome brother over there, Stephen! Amazing chef from PH! You guys are awesome!!! I enjoy your vlog, I’ll definitely subscribe!

[@MsTupperwarequeen]

So good to see the people who make the cogs turn in the background. My son wants to be a ship chef so it’s interesting to me to see behind the scenes. Lots of love to you Mary and your brother Stephen

[@drumswest5035]

I have worked with quite a few Filipinos and they are great people, always friendly, good workers and genuine, nothing fake about them. Thats a good size galley they have and i bet the food is fantastic!

[@Donald_Shaw]

What a great bunch of guys working in the galley preparing all the food for everyone onboard the ship. I certainly couldn't be away from my family for 10-months at a time. Thanks for the galley tour, Captain Tristan.

[@robertdave]

I seriously doubt any of the kitchen staff are making in excess of US$200/week to work every day for many months at a time. Commercial cruise ships pay about half that.

[@JCrook1028]

@@robertdave Their pay in US $ means almost nothing without the context of how that exchanges into the currency wherever they live and pay taxes. Could be a lot, could be not. We simply do not know so making a comment like you just did is meaningless.

[@schwags1969]

@@JCrook1028 That was a bit critical??

[@JCrook1028]

@@schwags1969 How so? By pointing out facts? That #200 he used as an example would in the Phillipines make a very healthy pay.

[@korylp6219]

Tristan - Thanks for giving them the opportunity for them to send love to their friends and families. I'm sure that it will mean a lot to them!

[@4LowRocks]

As a veteran of many years of my life spent at sea, I can say without a doubt, the galley staff is the most loved group of people on any ship! Great work guys.

[@fergalclohessy2233]

No doubt their family got to watch this and I can only imagine how much joy it brought them

[@56Spookdog]

When I used to do some work on Standard Oil ships the crews were filipino while the Officers were British, the crew spent 9 to 11 months on board. Those ships were the cleanest ships I’ve been on from stem to stern, top to bottom.

[@timtam6442]

I adore Filipinos. Along with Sri Lankans, I find them to be the most kind and friendly people on the planet.

[@FLGurl]

Tristen: that is always my favorite part of cruising. Getting to know the crew. My late husband and I did a behind the scenes tour of NCL Pearl many years ago and it was my favorite part of being on that ship. I truly enjoy getting to know the people who work so hard to bring the passengers happiness. You are a gem for doing this. Many thanks!

[@ManxAndy]

Great galley team…..hard work, especially when it’s rough weather, a crew lives by its galley, if they do great food, the atmosphere on board is always a good one.👍🇮🇲💪

[@380Scania]

Those guys are amazing and work so hard. Hope their messages got home to their loved ones. ❤️

[@para1324]

A brotherhood indeed. Respect sent to the these fine guys and the work they do. Safe trip back home when the rotation is over.

[@loganholmberg2295]

Damn 8-10 months and NO days off?!?! That deserves some respect! Thats some dedication even though I imagine the workload is nothing like it would be on a cruise ship. Still.👍👍

[@elmerfud44]

Wow Wow Wow. This must be the most interesting thing i think you have done in my book. Those guys sure know how to work. That is so humbling to hear how they respect not only each other but also there colleagues and families. I will never grumble again about working a 39 hour week and 2 days of ever again. Not only do they work insane hours and months but i dont think they see much daylight let alone land. Hats of to them all and to you Tristan for letting us see a world i fear companies wouldn't otherwise want us to see. Keep up the great work ... 👍

[@axllii]

Just to elaborate, many crews on other vessels around the world have not been home since the start of COVID, without leaving the ship. Everyone should remember those guys when buying cheap plastic from China.

[@koomaj]

Most important guys onboard right there! Cheers!

[@gillespie8575]

Everyone on that ship seem so accommodating. They go above and beyond to explain what they do and help the tour.

[@nigeldewallens1115]

That was stunning to watch! Please say thank you from me to them for all the hard work they put in! That was fantastic to see the level of work/ preparation needed to create the meals for all on board!! Well done to them Thank you for the clip too!

[@henrylees-buckley2584]

Very tough assignment for the kitchen team and likely the entire crew. You have to appreciate their commitment and work ethic! Well done!

[@raymundguinto9061]

Watching from Cebu in the Philippines. Put a smile on my face when you interviewed the Filipino crew. Enjoy watching your videos. I think one of the chef's is visayan.

[@ZarkoMahovic]

Tristan, thank you for giving us a new perspective on life and work on superyachts, but also on those things that happen "behind the scenes". You do it great. Even though I’m not a sailor (and I don’t even have a small boat) I’ve been following your channel since the time you only had 1000 subscribers. But we both have something in common, we love the Adriatic coast and islands, you on your beautiful superyacht and me in my retirement chair from Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. Greeting!

[@stanos321]

Those chefs are absolutely champions - I hope they pay them a fair days pay for a fair days work

[@MsTupperwarequeen]

Tristan thank you for showing the important people keeping things working in the background. I love your whole attitude to life and people you come in contact with - a true gentleman

[@AbrahamChan88]

Clean galley (and boat as per your other video tours). The workers are so happy, something I would not be able to reflect like them if I were away from my family for so long, so kudos to them! I hope internet connectivity is decent enough for them to spend virtual calls with loved ones! We made sure to be thankful to all the wonderful staff on the cruises we have been on. It is nice to know the hours are less (per day ... but, wow, everyday for 8-10 months...) than working on a cruise, hah ha, however the trade off might be less stabilization on this transporter vs a cruise - sea legs required!!! Ack darn COVID19, they cannot even enjoy some land time =(

[@FiferSkipper]

Not gonna lie, when I saw the title of this video I was kinda like... galley... meh... but, in truth, I actually really enjoyed it! Great look into the life of the crew and how hard they work. Thanks!

[@rogerblackwood8815]

It is obvious why AWOL was so successful! You are a great manager of people! Even as a "Rider" you are able to bring a smile to the crews faces by showing them at their best! I guess it wouldn't be allowed, but it would be cool if you and your Chef and maybe another of the Riders could work the galley for dinner and give them a day off? 😎

[@ColinHarvey78]

Lovely video - I love the chef’s messages at the end, which feel very heartfelt

[@Dr_K545]

Those seem like cool guys that work hard for their family. Much respect from America. Great video.

[@v12kid]

Unreal 10 months non stop. Kudos to these awesome men for their hard work and sacrifice.

[@gullrock14]

Spotless and well organized galley. Very professional.

[@schwags1969]

Yeah, you are not kidding.

[@ladgolf]

What a great little vlog, especially you giving the chance for the guys to say hi to their famililes at the end. I can't imagine spending so much time way from my family, so kudos to all the crew members who commit so much of their lives to their work.

[@JD-pi2ce]

Incredible! Thanks Tristan. To think that much of this stuff goes completely unappreciated by most of us!

[@lindadoerr7919]

Thanks so much for the wonderful tour and introduction to these dedicated gentlemen! Lots of great information that answers many questions about how you all get fed during the journey. Hard work and long hours seem to be the rule for those who work at sea! 🛳

[@schwags1969]

What a great group in the kitchen. Hard working for those many hours is not easy.

[@Charmainee1511]

Great to see you guys. All the best where ever you go.

[@Kaii_679]

Aww that really hits home having the opportunity to greet friends and family at home via video call bless, I know that feeling being a crew myself and in the Armed forces on duty for months on end. Thanks Tristan for the galley tour I bet it smells awesome in there too lol, take care and stay safe 🙏 🙂 🙏

[@ginobrun1]

its crazy the amount of sacrifice these guys make to make some money for there families I highly respect them and all crews onboard these vessels.

[@scotexscarrier8461]

As a brit i sailed with filipino crews for over 20yrs, i can honestly say i never once had any problems with ,, how they keep those smiley faces and great attitudes and so respectful during the whole 8/9 month contracts is beyond me, i couldn't do it

[@Mark-pm9nh]

Hi Tristan . You are a great interviewer . Ask interesting questions & make people feel comfortable & respected . Amazingly clean galley & storerooms . You can tell these gentlemen are very professional & work very hard for their families . God bless . Mark (Toronto) 👍💙

[@royordway9157]

I can't do meal planning for a week let alone for a month or more. This was a really nice video. All of the videos in this series have been great. The ships crew is very friendly and generous to allow you to film everything that makes the ship work. Thanks for sharing Tristian.

[@maxmann8607]

Planning for the week!? I don’t even know what the hell I’m gonna feed my kids for dinner yet!

[@lgriestra]

Very nice and informative video. Thank you captain. Filipinos are great people.

[@ghl3488]

This is a very interesting set of videos Tristan. I was surprised how large that galley is though but I guess they have extended periods at sea. The staff in the galley are very pleasant and were very accommodating. Amazing length of time away from family and friends. Thank you for the video. Regards from wales

[@johncollier608]

Wow, those guys work hard! Hats off to them.

[@mfournier1418]

Thank you to the most important man on the ship. Doing good work.

[@duncanjames914]

Another great video. It's really interesting to get a sense of what life onboard one of these ships is like. The fact that these guys are all smiling means that it is good. Although the 7-day/week for 8-10 months schedule seems harsh. Then again, what else is there to do? Hi to those three guys from Canada! Thanks Tristan.

[@jhelaipayas9543]

When you just started the intro, of this video, i already know that all this 3 chef, are from philippines, 👏👏👏👏👏👏 one of my goal to work in this kind of huge kitchen too, 🥰

[@donestelle8877]

Tristan , great video. The most important man on the ship the chef ! I’m not in the merchant navy. But I work for a bearing company so visit many vessels most chefs are from the Philippines unless on a Chinese vessel. When the chef can cook it’s a major advantage.

[@MikeK02048]

My wife and I like to go on the big cruise ships. The crew from the Phillipines as some of the friendliest and most hard working. We love meeting them!

[@hanshekkerace]

"Mabuhay" for this essential part of the crew!

[@damot1051]

Awesome vids Tristan. Can't wait to see what the future holds for you and your endeavours!

[@ace1usmc]

Those are great, dedicated guys right there. This was a great video. Thanks for giving us this insight into their lives.

[@vickierabovsky9166]

Amazing the work ethic these men have.

Outstanding Performance by the mess crew, we need to see the dinning room or mess deck.

[@finaltouchautodetailingllc]

This is very awesome to see how this happens for a ship like this

[@MarkSnop]

Hi Tristan! I saw AWOL on Nick's channel. It was cool to see a tour of the whole ship! Very nice. Gorgeous as expected!

[@stroop43]

That was ace ,what charming gentleman 👍

[@tmmtqoe]

What a wonderful team. One of the best episodes ever.

[@jamesgurney6576]

Great segment, brings back memories when I work on ships. Great segments crossing the big pond. I have notice the AWOL has been berthed in Fort Lauderdale for some , hope you the is a good anti fouling coating. Anyway thanks for bringing back memories.

[@TheOUboy]

Great video and a great group of hard working chefs.

[@carriewoodburry8923]

Wow. Great guys . No days off , that is crazy.

[@colab_stdio]

Thanks for featuring the Chefs Skipper, hey I'm starting to like this series where you show the different parts of the Yatch carrier. Definitely 💯

[@rebekahlow8375]

The Chefs are awesome.I really enjoyed this video!!! Love from Vermont

[@AS-mw8po]

In a ship, chef is one of most important of the crew members 🤣🤣🤣

[@howardtravels]

Philippinos are great workers and suffer so much for their families, hundreds of thousands of OFW working 7 days a week for 11 months a year. I love my Filipino friends and family..

[@bionicsasquatch]

Thanks Tristan for the walkthroughs of this ship something we never get to see just a cool insight.

[@Nokenify]

Loved the tour of the Galley! The chefs seem really nice!

[@Ams-se9tb]

Everyone on this ship is so welcoming ☺️☺️ love these guys such hard workers great videos Tristan can't wait to have you in the states 🙌🍻🍻

[@Paul-010]

Lovely team of guys.

[@antonyporter5045]

very nice tour I bet those guys love you now

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Amazing chefs and tour.

[@Cchogan]

I am surprised that there is not more bad weather bars around the shelves in the stores. I used to know a chap who supplied rare wines to Cunard. He basically sourced wine from cellars that were being sold for probate and so on. Cunard would ask for lists of very rare wines. Sometimes there would only be a couple of bottles, especially of things like 1926 port. They would snap it up. I went with him to deliver to the QE2, just for fun. The wine cellar there was so well protected against storms. Imagine if an ancient vintage port, possibly worth a couple of thousand pounds (and this was back in the late 80s), smashed?

[@helengreig5213]

Thanks Tristan. Fascinating. Great lads, such a happy & smiling team. Tristan brings out the best in everyone. Accommodation tour next please.

[@oriorda9470]

Your super-friendly personality and professional knowledge and skill really make your videos so watchable. I'm going to miss your AWOL stories and hope you can continue the channel on your new vessel. One piece of friendly advice: work at keeping your non-camera hand still when talking to camera, it's very distracting to have it waving around.

[@raymondmalone9721]

3 hard working guys there 👏👏👏

[@planespotter2011ify]

Thanks Tristan for the tour. But do have to say it would have been great to have Chef Mark talking shop with the other 3 chef about recipes lol. It must be a pain in the exterior walking up and down that ladder in heavy seas

[@peterlazuric5641]

Having good chow on any ship is very important for all on board.

[@clydem56]

Thank you for this vid and for showing the unheralded individuals that make the world go around and their sacrifices that many aren’t will to make. 👍

[@dam1108]

Hope you enjoyed your stay in the USA and had a safe journey home. I have really enjoyed your videos as I was a boat owner. Good luck in whatever you do.

[@jamesgreen3417]

Great video of the ships Galley and stores. Very clean and well organised. As an ex RN Petty Officer Chef it’s such a tight knit group, you have to get on.

[@steini6771]

[@bigt6359]

Awesome content from the crossing!!! Thanks to the crew for showing the ship!
