She’s adorable. Would love you to do an updated video on this and maybe what services are the best!

[@n.p.2653]

There are plenty of so called 'Black Irish' too, usually descendants of Spanish traders and people from the West Indies. Also lots of Irish have Viking blood. Famous Dark haired Irish actors like Colin Farrell and Lara Flynn Boyle.

[@alk3myst]

She had a very happy presence. I am sure she will do well in her career. I am bingeing through your videos this weekend. I worked on ships out of the the Port of Miami as a Network Engineer (contractor). We were told don't talk to crew nor guests. We were on the lowest totem pole despite being high wage earners. If we had to cruise along our quarters looked this size except two bunks and no storage and supposedly no private bathroom/shower. You had a shared one in the hall. Luckily I didn't have to do any overnights. I worked Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Viking/Princess, Oceania.

[@Laura_Marie2]

Staying at the YMCA (and eating the food they serve) is definitely the worse part of the Watford/Steiner experience! haha. My first contact was on Carnival with Steiner. In a few weeks I'll join Cunard Cruise lines working for a different onboard spa company. they offer 6 month contacts, 1000USD base pay and 10-12hr work days.

[@JSHIPLIFE]

So I’ve heard! Good luck with everything! And I hope you makes lots of commission!!!

I have a genuine question! So I’m a licensed massage therapist and if I were to work in a spa on a ship would I also have to work 12 hour work days? Because 12 massages in a day does not sound doable to me at all especially if you work every day. Do you have to work every day?

[@JSHIPLIFE]

From Lisa Marie herself. Hope this helps! 1) depends on how busy the spa is if you are fully booked you can have anywhere between 8-10 guests again depends on what treatments you are doing as some take longer than others , 2) yes you have to do a theory exam in the academy but it’s mostly practical exams 3) Yes but the expections were a lot higher than I thought it would be. A little too demanding 4) Hardest things was the long hours everyday
