What happens to the crew?

[Ubermann]

The Atlantica will be undergoing a major overhaul during the next few months. Does anyone have any idea what happens to the crew and staff of a ship undergoing overhaul? Are they assigned together to another ship? Are they distributed throughout the rest of the fleet? Or do they get a lot if time off?

 

We just loved the staff and crew during our WC cruise last month and we'd love to sail with them again next year.

We too loved the staff on The Atlantica, maybe if they want to do another session - they'll come back with the Magica. I know it's a personal choise as to where they want to go. We did a back to back in December and met a great English guy and he said he would finish in April.

we asked our waiter,Edwin, about what happens to them after the season is up and he said that the crew signs an 8 month contract...which means they are on the boat 8 months straight, then they get 2 months off then they get called to the ship again, but sometimes they go to another ship depending on how well they are at their job. but they do get time at ports of call. our assistant waiter, Ian, said he went to senor frogs and got drunk when we were in san juan, he wanted us to go too...they were both so funny.:cool:

Just off RCI Brilliance of the Seas. it was going into dry dock and the people who work on board and are not getting vacation time stay on board and help with the overhaul, cleaning etc.
