longhorn2004 Posted June 9, 2015 #2728 Share Posted June 9, 2015 As shown below, Captain Frank started his rotation (Master in Charge) on 4/19/15 and will be on board for 10 weeks unless he and Captain Aris have made other arrangements. Captain Aris is currently on vacation. Navigator OTS - Capt Frank Martinsen (started rotation 4-19-15) Navigator OTS - Capt Aris Medina So do Captains get 10 weeks ,10 weeks off? Funny that all of the officer corps is not on the same rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted June 9, 2015 #2729 Share Posted June 9, 2015 So do Captains get 10 weeks ,10 weeks off? Funny that all of the officer corps is not on the same rotation. That is typical for Captains, but they can vary it a bit with the cooperation of their fellow Captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisenfever Posted June 9, 2015 #2730 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) So do Captains get 10 weeks ,10 weeks off? Funny that all of the officer corps is not on the same rotation. Yes, they work 10 weeks and then they are off for 10 weeks. This can change and the Captains can work out their own vacation schedule, but if that happens the variation is a week or two. Other Officers on board are on a longer schedule because they aren't under the same amount of stress that the Master of the ship is.:D Edited June 9, 2015 by cruisenfever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saab4444 Posted June 9, 2015 #2731 Share Posted June 9, 2015 So do Captains get 10 weeks ,10 weeks off? Funny that all of the officer corps is not on the same rotation. This 1:1 rotation (= working time and time off is the same) applies to all officers in the deck and engine department (= nautical officers on the bridge and technical officers for the engine) so not just to the Captain. For the hotel department including all officers in this department the rotation system is less favourable and for the officers 2:1 or 3:1 (4-6 months on and 2 months off).

Not a bad work schedule, stressful yes but the time off is sweet. How much do officers make roughly? Does the cruise industry pay more, less or even with container ships?

ententecordiale Posted June 12, 2015 #2735 Share Posted June 12, 2015 On Anthem right now, Captain Claus finishes rotation at end of this cruise June 13th So pleased that we had Claus on our trip. He is irreplaceable. We looked forward to his announcements every day, just put a big smile on our faces. We just couldn't wait to put the face to the name so were delighted when he joined for pictures on day 8. What a pleasant man he is. I never cared about captains before, but we really felt that the Anthems without Claus wouldn't feel right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the cruise industry pay more, less or even with container ships? This depends on the company and the flag state. In past days with European flag and respectively binding tariff agreements salaries were higher in general. Now highest payments and best working schedules and benefits are provided by the oil and off-shoring business I believe. There are few companies left who still provide a 1:1 schedule, this applies to container and cruise lines. Salarywise you can find some orientation if you google for existing tariff agreements.

I'm on the Adventure in September and would love to have Henrik again, but I also see Toni. They both are assigned to a particular ship. They usually work 10 weeks and 10 weeks are off..... it could vary if one needs to be off for a little longer period. So when you see the name of the captain and "started rotation" - that is when that particular captain started his duty on the ship ...... so 10 weeks later the other captain will take over.
