Blessings on Costa Concordia



Costa Concordia before the mishap of a cruise ship

Here is a clip prior to the big mishap that this Cruise Ship the Costa Concordia endured from a human error, forgetting all the safety codes, no maydays, all the cruise ships, ships in the area could have helped.

The crew did there jobs on the Cruise Ship

An excerpt from an engineer on board the Cruise Ship (see link below excerpt):
"Carollo's story is emblematic. After working a 12-hour shift, he was sleeping when the cruise ship passed too close to the island of Giglio and ran into sharp rocks at 9:45 p.m.

By the time he jumped out of bed, dressed and opened the door to his cabin, there was already water rushing down the hallway.

He reported for duty in the engine room, and through portals in closed, air-tight hatches, he could see that water had enveloped the generators and engines within just 10 minutes.

"Within 15 minutes, the engine room told the bridge that there was nothing to be done. The situation was beyond repair," Carollo said.

He reported to his emergency post, a life raft for 35 crew members, and awaited the abandon-ship order, which didn't come for over an hour, prompting many junior officers to take matters into their own hands and begin evacuating passengers.

"We didn't wait for the captain to give the order to abandon ship. We saw how serious the situation was, and we did it ourselves," said Alberto Fiorito, 28, an officer and machinist on the cruise ship."

Costa Concordia

Let Safety be first on Cruise Ship

Lets hope that new safety rules and possibly new lifeboats or a different concept in getting people off cruise ships quicker. I know they have big shutes on the big Royal Caribbean cruise ships, surely Costa had them as well, so people could slide down.

The old way with women, children, elderly and disabled, I guess that was not completely followed why is a poor 5 year old girl one of the ones missing. That is the saddest thing of all, may they find that little girl alive, children are very resourceful they can hide in many places, may she be spared.

It happened on the 13th January, the old jinx of Friday the 13th kicking in with human errors. Cruise Ships will always be around, I was blessed that all the years I worked on cruise ships I was spared this fate. I had 18 years of good and bad years on doing cruise jobs, I loved working on the sea, sometimes I felt safer than at other times, depending on the history of the cruise ship, some I knew had had accidents and been repaired, of course I was more wary of a cruise ship like that, whilst on board.

How the Cruise Ships kept getting bigger

<img src="CelebrityCruiseLineimage/cruise-ships.jpg" alt="Cruise Ships">
You can find so many cruise ships around nowadays; the cruise lines were churning them out of the shipyards, which had a flourishing business. The Cruise Ships were getting bigger and bigger, trying to outdo each other and have the biggest and best ship breaking all kinds of boundaries on all side. Take Royal Caribbean International pushing the boundaries with all the added extra aboard their vessels, first the climbing wall and the skating rink, now the floating bar, with the added extras onboard there amazing vessels. It is quite interesting to know a little about cruise ships prior to
thinking about doing cruise jobs.

Some of the biggest Cruise Ships today

From Wikepedia:
1. Allure of the Seas, Royal Caribbean International, debut 2010 - 225,282 GT (gross tonnage)
Oasis of the Seas, Royal Caribbean International, debut 2009 - 225,282GT
2. Norwegian Epic, Norwegian Cruise Line, debut 2010 - 155,873 GT

Some of the popular cruise ships from 2011 are:
Allure of the Seas, Norwegian Epic, Carnival Magic, Oasis of the Seas, Celebrity Solstice, Disney Dream, Ruby Princess, Liberty of the Seas, Carnival Dream, Norwegian Gem, Celebrity Constellation. Sourced from Cruise Critic.

A little bit of useful information for considering doing cruise ships jobs.

So is it a great experience to work on big Cruise Ships or not?

I always vowed I was not interested in working on big cruise ships, that they were so impersonal, so many people. I was pleasantly surprised when I worked onboard the Adventure, the Navigator of the Seas and the Voyager of the Seas. It was quite a pleasant experience doing cruise jobs on the big cruise ships, lots to do and see facilities for the crew just seemed to be a touch better. I also worked on the Millenium, the Infinity from Celebrity, which are a little more upscale than the Royal ones’ but also a pleasant experience, just a touch more classy.

So I would say yes there are lots more people about but there is so much more interactive things like the cabin facility things like the Internet in the cabin, Ipads now.

Missing your Cruise Ship

Why missing your Cruise Ship is a problem

As a crew member this is a pretty scary thought “missing your cruise ship” whilst doing cruise jobs. The thought alone brings this image of your ship sailing sway and you are stuck on the pier, scary really. I never missed my ship but have come close on a couple of occasions, one’s on Xmas Eve in Key West, another time in Safaga, Egypt. Key West, we had gone shopping at the Ross for Less store, on the other side of town and do you think we could get a taxi back, eventually we got one but it was cutting it so fine. In Egypt it was another story, I was on the Marco Polo, a lot of us had taken a taxi to Luxor, which is far away about 5, or 6 hours drive with escorts through the desert. Coming back seems to take longer what with waiting for the escorts at different points. To cut a long story short we made it back with barely any time to spare, and had to leg it from the taxi to the ship. Luckily all the passenger tours were late as well.

You do need to be aware of this lovely little sign that is at the gangway as you go ashore in the various ports in the world on board your ship with cruise jobs. It reads “crew all aboard time”, generally you as a crew member need to be back 1 hour prior to the vessel sailing, for passengers it is generally 30 minutes. If the ship is at tender, not alongside a pier it can be a bit tricky as well, so allow a bit more time in this kind of port. They sometimes change the sailing time, so always be aware of this, it could be for the weather or another ship needs the berth.

<img src="femaleontenderboatimage/missing-your-cruise-ship.jpg" alt="Missing your Cruise Ship">

What happens, when missing your Cruise Ship

What happens if you are not there one hour prior to sailing time?
The crew purser will let the port agent know, who in turn informs the local authorities. The port agent is then handed your passport and your next of kin information, all obtained from the crew purser from your sign-on paperwork. The port agent contacts the local police and hospitals to see if you were involved in an accident or been arrested for something. The passport is with the port agent to allow you to fly from the country you are in at the time.

You will generally be dismissed if you missed the ship because of forgetting the time, or stuck in trouble, or even if you fall asleep on the beach or had a couple too many drinks. You normally get to come back to the ship to collect your belongings and then you are on your way home.

If you have a valid reason because of an accident, obviously the port agent will have proof from the doctor or hospital, your belongings will be packed up for you and sent to your address or hospital.

Beware of the Time, when Missing your Cruise Ship

For finding that position, go to this post on my site called Cruise Ship Vacancies.

So the moral of the story is Beware of the Time, that lovely little sign that reads “crew all aboard time”. Always allow for extra time especially when you have hired a car and need to return it or if it is a big vacation time somewhere. Recommend an awareness of that board and of the time factor in not missing your Cruise Ship.

See how to apply to Royal Caribbean International

Easy steps to apply to Royal Caribbean International

The Royal Caribbean International has a really easy website to navigate, to get to all the relevant pages and to the hiring partners in the various countries but you can also register your resume on the site itself.

(See clip below from the Allure of the Seas, just to get an idea what the cruise ship looks like, what they have onboard all.)

The thing to remember is, that it is quite a big change to work on a cruise ship, a completely different environment. The appearance might be of a hotel resort but it is a moving one at that with all the relevant safety aspects as well. You will need to adapt to living in a fairly small cabin and will have to or not share with another person possibly from another country with all their strange quirks and foibles.

So make sure that you are certain about the position you would like to work in onboard the cruise ship as well.

What a silly word Cruise Jobs is…

What a silly word really Cruise Jobs, when I myself think of working on a cruise ship, I would use the word cruise ship jobs. But you really will be amazed at what people google when they search for words; this word is one of the most popular.

I worked on cruise ships for 18 years and I would never use this expression, but obviously other people do use it.
<img src="crapsgameimage/cruise-jobs.jpg" alt="Cruise Jobs">

Casino Dealer doing cruise jobs

I worked in the casino for most of my life and on cruise ships, doing casino jobs as a casino dealer for my last 8 years of ship life for Royal Caribbean International, doing three of there Celebrity Cruises ships as well. Before them I worked for a lot of different cruise lines, sometimes for the casino concessionaire, which has practically fallen away these days. One of the things I gained or I am very thankful is, from working for Royal Caribbean International is that I was trained on craps (dice) for most dealers or croupiers this is the pinnacle of there casino career, or for me it was. What a feeling standing there with the stick in your hand or feeling the dice as they fly from the stick as you push it out.

Beauty Salon, Shoppies, girls/guys doing Cruise Jobs

I really never envied the Steiner girls or guys on cruise ships with the long hours they had to work, my niece wanted to work in the beauty salon as a beautician doing massage. I basically told her the hours that some of them worked, she quickly changed her mind. I guess I should have let her find out for herself, it probably would have given her an excellent life lesson and made her live in the real world maybe. The Steiner staff would have to do the cleaning thing the night before the end of the cruise for the inspection in the morning. Though they always had loads of fun after hours socializing with all the officers and getting to all those great parties.

The shoppies had a nice social life out and about most nights in the bars; they had a pretty good life, except for when they had to do stores in port. Not such a lovely job if you are a girl, loading boxes and goodies for the pier.

Other kinds of Cruise Jobs

The divers on the big ships had a wonderful job imagine doing this for a living, basically training people to get certified and then taking them out for dives. This is a wonderful job, and then spending a few weeks on the Royal Caribbean private island.

Cruise Staff also have quite a cushy job they get to entertain the passengers, also a lot of work, you really have to love people and have fun doing activities.

Youth Activities is another excellent choice of cruise job, if you are trained in child minding, another job where you really do something that you love.

A lot of the jobs are for people that are passionate about what they do, like the bridge officers (maritime) or the engine room guys. It’s all about your outlook on life and what you are getting from it. Most of those guys are pretty ambitious working to get somewhere, promotion wise, whether it is to be the main guy like the Captain; it’s a career for a lot of them. Good for them I admire them for there ambitions.

Why Casino Cruise Jobs?

<img src="crapsgameimage/casino-cruise-jobs.jpg" alt="Casino Cruise Jobs">

Now why do Casino Cruise Jobs?

Why on earth would you want to swap your nice comfortable land based casino for casino cruise jobs?

Why leave your nice comfort zone to move into such a disciplined strict life with lots of restrictions being a dealer on a cruise ship.

It is not all the fun and glory as you think, sorry to be such a drag but the fact of the matter is its not some fairytale it’s the harsh real world of cruising and the passenger comes first. The added extras like boat drill the crew ones and the passenger ones. Some cruise lines its quite a pain in the butt depending on your dear deck officers in charge, but like all things you get the odd nasty one, but all the others were wonderful.

<img src="casinodealerimage/casino-dealer.jpg" alt="Casino Dealer">

What you have to do extra on Casino Cruise Jobs

Of course at the end of the cruise you have the pleasure of doing the slot count as a dealer, which is sorting all the money from the bva’s then running it through the money counting machines “glory”. You are assigned a task, which can be either, on some ships the coin boxes from below, or dropping the bva (where the cash goes into, a metal box) with the key. Afterwards it is tidying up putting things back where they belong. The slot count takes quite a while; you also get to do the table counts on a regular basis, also counting the money. So a lot more involved than you would have normally doing casino cruise jobs.

You also get to do welcome on board (embarkation duties), not all the time and not on all ships. The larger vessels have some added duties of course, which is understandable as they carry more passengers so jobs have to be split up to facilitate the smooth running of things.

Passenger boat drills on embarkation day as well, assisting them at their muster stations, life jacket demonstration, and feel like those lovely airhostesses feel when they do one. It’s like anything in life its what you make of situations, make it fun and it wont be a drag, enjoy doing casino cruise jobs, go far.

<img src="roulettewheelimage/casino-jobs.jpg" alt="Casino Jobs">

When you do Casino Cruise Jobs the hours and all

The sea days can be quite long, and you do a split shift, where you work in the day and then you will have a couple of hours off or more to have a nap, shower, eat and all that. You come back and do the rest of your shift; sometimes you may have a table count afterwards. Transatlantic or re-positioning cruises can also involve a lot of sea days, so a lot more hours involved. There are days where you start earlier and finish first and then other times where you might start a big later if you are on the table count or closing, but that might be irrelevant depending on business.

<img src="roulettetableimage/casino-dealer.jpg" alt="Casino Dealer">

Why on earth you would do Casino Cruise Jobs

Well for starters to experience all those amazing places, people that open your eyes to that fascinating world of ours out there that many never get to see but on the television and Internet.

You get to learn about different cultures from the people you work with, some cruise ships are like a united nations, with crewmembers from all little nooks and cranny’s of the world. My last ship I shared with a girl from Nepal, where else would you get that experience. Whether you enjoy that is a matter of your personal choice you have to adapt to all situations and people from the passengers to your fellow crew, staff members and officers.

You get to go on some amazing shore excursions, whether sea kayaking in St Lucia or rafting in Jamaica, pretty cool if you think some people never get to see these places. If you are lucky to do Europe you can get to see all those old buildings and experience the history and the life of say Venice, go in a gondola or see the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican in Rome. Some people never get to go there at all, so wow how awesome is that.

You can have an exhilarating social life as well, make friends with all kinds of people, you might even find the love of your life. Many people I know have had that amazing experience, some have families now and have moved land based.

Like all jobs everything has its pluses and minuses, you have to think what exactly you are doing this for. Whether it is for the money, the travel, need to escape from a land-based casino as you have been banned for driving for a year. At the end of the day everyone has his or her own magic plan, vision or goal to accomplish. We are all unique individuals, we all think differently thank goodness for that.

I for one 18 years as a croupier and various positions in the casino and worked on all kinds of cruise ships and got to see some amazing places. I even got to the Galapagos Islands, pretty awesome for someone from South Africa.

Of course there is always promotion and moving up the ranks doing casino cruise jobs, on your way to being that casino manager on a ship.
