This is the first part in our 3-part series on Cruise Ship Work. This episode focuses on what it's like to work on a cruise ship.

I talk about requirements to get on board, such as visas, STCW's, medicals, etc. I also cover the living accommodations, crew life, night life, getting off the ship, and interpersonal relationships.

I go over all the pros and cons of ship life, and go into some detail about some of the darker things to watch out for if you decide to work on ships.

CONTENT WARNING: In this episode we cover topics such as alcohol, drugs, sex, prostitution, sexual abuse, worker abuse, and racism.
