The Secret Lives Of Cruise Ship Workers
You Will Get Left Behind
The land excursions are the best part of a cruise. Who doesn’t want to see all the gorgeous cities you port in? Guests (and crew members who have a couple of hours off) are free to explore as they please, but they better make sure to return on time. Cruise ships will leave without you.
More details…
Cruises are subject to massive fines if they stay longer than their allotted port time. For this reason, they won’t wait if you’re running late. If you happen to miss the departure time, you’re totally on your own. Yikes! Not only would this effect your job, imagine what it would be like getting stranded without your belongings, and trying to catch the ship at the next stop. Port times are often short, so it wouldn’t be hard to get caught up in the scenery, finally getting off the ship, only to lose track of time and be left behind.
Don’t miss the boat
