I always thought the housekeeping (room steward) had a hard job. We always give them an extra tip. I never realized that security had such a difficult job, but now I will appreciate these men and women much more now. Excellent video!

I had one of the best jobs on the cruise ships. It was onboard internet sales. The base salary was crap, and the sales targets were difficult, but when you hit them you made good money, and there were particular cruises where internet pre-sales were minimal and everyone realized they wanted internet the first day. The best thing about it was you could arrange your shifts for 5 hours in the morning, 5 hours in the evening, that means you can have the middle of the day to spend time ashore! The worst thing was the day before turn-around preparing all the internet access codes for the pre-sales of the next cruise, and putting them in the housekeeping pigeonholes -- that chore could take hours! Then prepare for turnaround day, people will be hitting you non-stop to get internet working on their phones - especially if you're in Asia with strange devices, strange internet browers, and nobody who speaks English! The best perk was getting a free high-speed test account for onboard internet, although if you shared your internet access code - or gave away any code for that matter - you would be fired immediately for theft, so no mafia business! Also be prepared for an internet or satellite outtage, and 1,000 angry people immediately lining up trying to get refunds!! I heard that almost all ships on all cruiselines will eventually migrate to free internet, so maybe this position will be eliminated...

Being a chef on land, I've worked for 12hrs (with power breaks ) for year's. 16hrs during peak festivals. I can relate, but on board it is completely different as compared to working on land. There are less room for errors. I have many friends working as chefs on cruises some a paid really well, some not so much. Ps. I'll be boarding my cruise journey soon, so thanks for the heads up.

I have the hardest job on the ship...Wow Thanks for the love... Along with the Junior Engineers, we are also shipboard firefighters, medical first responders, mooring line handlers and most important, we drive the ship and ensure that we don't hit anything at sea like icebergs, big rocks, and other ships. Other hard jobs that don't get enough credit: The Electricians. Keeping the ship well-lit is no accident...

I was a bartender on Cunards QE2 from 1987-89, we were paid $900 a month plus a split of the 18% grat shared with the other bartenders as some worked service bars behind the scenes in the kitchen. With gratuity we made $2500-$3500 a month which was decent back then as room & meals included so little to no expenses. We worked on average 10hrs a day, say 10-2 then 6-12 depending on which bar you were working with decent time off in ports. Contracts back then much shorter than today, only 3mth on 1 off versus today's of up to 9 months on then 2 off. No security cameras then so many times we would end up in passenger cabins😉💋💕, or they would attend crew parties in crew cabins the norm, if caught just a slap on the wrist as the officers were doing the same thing, today you get fired if caught doing that. We certainly had it better then, different times & different attitudes to many things...

It's one of the easiest jobs when you get on the ship, but you're forgetting the countless hours and money spent on experience, education and gear. The reason we get paid well is because it's a specialised skill that not everyone can do.

​@@brassholio As if anyone can do security, or be a chef, or do the other hard jobs mentioned in the video without training or prior experience lol, come on now man, even cleaning needs prior experience, my brother is a dj and had a single cabin and all the royalties the op mentions, while us security guys get a small cube of a cabin for two people, well good for you guys, it's not like a party on a ship will last 8 or 12 hours, so 4 hours it is for musicians/artists, but you guys do a lot of work for season preparation I give you that, my brothers brains run out of his nostrils preparing lists and stuff over his console and pc for nearly a month every day, I guess musicians that play organs have similar adversities in the prep department.

@tomatosauce7666 I could do a few courses over a few months and be able to do a security job. Not something like SECO, which does require years of experience, but 99.999% of the ships jobs I could do perfectly fine with, say, up to 1 year of training. That pales in comparison to my 30 years working on my craft and my degrees, and I have zero guilt about having a good life and good pay.

So one of the places I’ve worked as a chef was a golf and country club that also did large banquet meals and honestly it was almost exactly the same as what you described as cruise chefs. I was working from 9-3:30 and then I was back at around 6 sometimes until 12-1. Now the place I was at only had me and one other chef so we were making three course meals for up to 210 people sometimes night after night (effectively 630 plates of food). Now doing that while at sea seems like a whole new hell although I’d assume it would be paid better than I was.

I’d say housekeeping and people in the galley work the hardest,physically the hardest. The easiest if you will I’d say is either playlist performers or shore ex… bar also works a lot cause the hours are crazy long,from very early in the morning to well Past midnight and they depend on the tips,and you don’t always get to go out that much depending on your schedule.

IDK why the cruise industry doesn't have a mandatory one day off per 7 day work week. I mean pretty much every other profession (even doctors) get at least one day off during the week. I don't see why people who work as crew member of a ship should be any different in that regard. Although I did sort of wonder if people maybe take 2-3 months off between contracts so maybe that is considered as well as a benefit (if people do) to working basically every day mostly during a 4 or 6 month contract.

Don't see the Waiters and Assistant Waiters mentioned. I worked for RCI and as a waiter we worked 3 sometimes 4 split shifts per day..Up and report for check in at the dining room for breakfast service at 06h30 Service ends at 09h00 and then break down clean and set up for lunch perhaps finish at 10h30 then a break but report back for check in at 11h30 to start serving lunch from 12h00 to 14h00, then break down and set up for evening service..2 seatings first seating check in at 17h30 to start 18h00 second seating starts at 20h30 and then after setting up for next morning breakfast and side jobs you might be done at 23h30 or later depending on how much the guests decide to sitt and drink at their tables.. Try doind that for 6 months without a day off and you'll see what is really hard. When it's your turn you may also be called upon to serve at the Midnight buffet which starts at 24h00 till 01h00 and then we still have to clean after that and the we'll see you again at 06h30..Crazy

Hardest job definitely is security. Never mind the hours and responsibility, how about travelling to hundreds of fantastic destinations around the world, but never ever seeing them. But seeing everybody else (including other crew members) getting off and having a good time. All the while standing there in the heat, as you mentioned, and having to be smiley happy people for the passengers. Sorry, sailors. Then in a SHTF situation, like a hijacking, or piirates - they are in the firing line. Easiest job? Trumpet, trombone or saxophonist - only do 2 hours a night, mostly get the night off if no dots (written musical parts) supplied by the cabaret. Never do any solo spots like the piano players, but get the same money as all the other house musos. And piano players might have to get up and do a 10am spot in a packed out Tiffany's (hungover), with the next night's cabaret singer looking on with interest :-). Nowhere to hide! If it's a six month contract, the keys bass and drums will be working every night and many daytimes, without so much as a single night off potentially. Plus rehearsals and band calls etc. While the front line are snoring away in their cabin bunks, dreaming of all the money they're making :-).

A comment from a cruise working veteran: Yes, shop, casino, gallery do get a ridiculous amount of time off but however, do keep in mind this isn't the case 100%, more like 50%. If you do have a lot of time off, they will fill your free time with side duties, such as: Helping in the shops, standing in front of restaurants spraying oncoming guests hands with disinfectant while making the most degrading sound ever: Washy Washy!, helping during every embarkation or disembarkation and so on and so forth. These videos however helpful, sometimes forget to mention the real inside scoop and how it actually is. Don't forget, no one is paying you to be off and sleeping.

Not sure I agree about "excursions". . . It's not heavy lifting and the perks are many as you stated but the stress can be life threatening! No matter how stupid or unpleasant a passenger is you have to herd them gracefully onto the correct transportation, get them there, see that they have a positive experience and then reverse the process with many incidentals that can't really be planned for. And how often does that go off without a hitch? Herding passengers is like herding angry cats and if they can mess up they will. Then the transportation, weather, the destination, the roads, traffic, lost passengers etc etc can all go wrong and it falls to excursions to make everything right with the world. . . Nope. . . I'll stick with the casino where if your tips aren't 10 times your pay you're not doing it right. . .

Alot of people (usually crew from other depts) like to think entertainment has the easiest job (not talking about cast thats another ball game) and many want to train to become a tech (stage hand/light/sound ect) because according to them we have it so easy and the moneys good. And it always really annoys me because 1 it depends on size of ship, when i worked on a 2000+ passenger ship yeah we had like the easiest job, couple shows a week and a few band sets thats it. But on big 6000+ passenger ships, multiple venues, so many more events yeah not as fun. Maintenance alone eats up a good chunck of "off" time (aka but theres no shows so you cant have anything to do right 😑) just today we had venue Maintenance that had their whole team there for 5 hours outside in the cold. And after that we still had our various events to go set up and strike. But people will look at our daily schedule and go your only scheduled for 6 hours thats nothing, which true, until you get that phone call saying we need to go set/strike this thing now, or a pipe burst above the stage and we need to clean up, or hey we havent done the weekly maintenance yet lets do it now, and suddenly your 6 hour "easy" day ballons into much more. Like from the outside looking in alot of people see us doing nothing during the day and working a couple shows at night, but god theres so much more. And lets not forget that unlike most jobs where once you clock out you are done till next shift, we are always and i mean always on call. At anytime you can and will recieve a call asking for something to get done. The amount of times i would finally sit down to dinner only to get a call asking to go do something cause i was the only guy available...to many to count. And when the ship does crew events guess who still has to work...entertainment. oh you want to do a crew talent show, guess sound and lights have to work. You want to have a band play for a party there goes the lounge tech. You want to put on a production show for crew now a whole team of people have to work extra. So yeah pay, even base pay, is better then some jobs onboard but it is by far the luxurious life other people make it out to be. This is not meant to put down people that work in other depts like housekeeping or f&b, just to say that its not all what it seems. (Also dont read this as me hating my job cause i dont. I just have a low tolerance for other people viewing it as one of the easiest jobs you could have. If i wanted an easy job i'd learn how to play piano and be a conductor for the broadway shows onboard cause those guys literally do nothing)

The houseman onboard the ship also have the insane privilege of handling the luggage if all the passengers when embarking and disembarkation days… your sift is never the same.. you can be working in the morning one week then the next week your working overnight..

No matter where you work as a chef you will work 12 to 16 hours. It's part of the job and most chefs don't mind this because they like to cook. Feeding 250 people really isn't a lot. I expected it to be much higher on a big ship.

I worked on cruise ships for the past 6 years so I don't speak from what I heard...I agree with you but...many people don't understand one thing... the housekeeping staff works hard but the money is very good...I know guys that have their own hotels back home...Every person who works on the ships thinks that their job is the worst or the hardest...even shops work very hard and to be honest...are paid nowadays worst then everybody else.

I was offered a Chef position on Norwegian went through half the process. However when I did the math of what was expected it didn’t add up so I passed on the position. You have to have a work/life balance or else what’s the point of it all🤷🏾‍♂️

Working in excursion when you say, you get a lot of time off, do you mean the fact of having your time to do whatever you want to do or you get that time off when you're leading the excursions?
