Do they get time off at all or do they work 7 days a week straight for the entire 35 week contract? Some crew who work split shifts, like wait staff and cabin stewards can get a couple of hours ashore between shifts. Some, like galley staff, laundry staff, deck and engine crew, who work a straight 12 hour day shift are limited in the times they can get ashore, having to ask supervisor's permission to miss some hours. Crew assigned to emergency teams are restricted to ship on a rotating basis (if there are 6 fire teams, then every 3rd day each fire team is restricted to ship while in port.

Saab4444 Posted January 26, 2020 #527 Share Posted January 26, 2020 On regular days cabin attendants could finish morning duties around noon and start again around 6 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hal2008 Posted January 26, 2020 #528 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Good to know that Florida does not (yet) have same retrictions as NY/NJ ports (majority of crew is not allowed to get off the ship in NY/NJ by order of Trump administration. Only those who have completed 5 or 6 contracts. Canadains/Australin/Zealanders/Western Europeans are allowed but their pct is very small of overall crew.)

essgee_ca Posted February 5, 2020 #531 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Hey Chris! Great video. It's interesting to see how the crew live. I don't think I'll ever complain again that guest cabins are small. They look gigantic in comparison to what you live in. I see the spelling of Assistant on your name tag is still incorrect. Doesn't Royal care? It kinda looks bad - you might even say unprofessional! (Perhaps they replaced it and you just hung on to the old one for a laugh.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akina13 Posted March 15, 2020 #540 Share Posted March 15, 2020 If you follow his YouTube channel he said he will make a video each day. I think he said all passengers disembark the ship he is on either today or tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanrod Posted April 2, 2020 #543 Share Posted April 2, 2020 For all of us that were interested in his videos and his whereabouts now, just a quick note to let everyone know that Chris is alive and well. I found this thread a while ago and like all of you had been looking for updated/recent videos. Looks like he stopped posting here on cruisecritic but he has continued to post youtube videos. Take a look at his youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxgWpP7nDIIS_NMiEVH0R1g Juan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
