On a cruise ship, it\u2019s important to maintain good relationships with all crew members. The\n\u201cI\u2019ll help you if you help me\u201d principle often applies among the crew since you never know\nwhen you might need someone\u2019s assistance. Be kind and engage with as many people as\npossible; this will make your time onboard much more pleasant. It\u2019s also especially useful to\nmaintain good relations with members of the security team, as you never know when you\nmight need their help.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

If it\u2019s your first time on a cruise ship, you may not be familiar with all the rules and\nprocedures. It\u2019s recommended to visit the Guest Services office as soon as you board to pick\nup the ship\u2019s daily activity schedule, often called the "Compass." This document provides\ninformation about all events on the ship and helps you navigate your stay more effectively.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

At first, it can be difficult to find your way around the ship since all hallways and cabin doors\nmay look quite similar. A helpful tip is to take a photo of your cabin number when you arrive\nto help you remember its location. Another good idea is to place a small, discreet sticker on\nyour cabin door to make it easier to identify. As you get used to the ship, you\u2019ll likely remove\nthe sticker, but it can be very useful in the beginning.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

On mega-ships, the crew mess is usually open 24\/7, while smaller ships may have specific\nmeal times. Your manager will inform you of these meal times and when your breaks are\nscheduled. It\u2019s also important to know which mess is assigned to your group \u2013 whether it\u2019s\nthe officer\u2019s mess, staff mess, or crew mess \u2013 and to follow the rules accordingly.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Most ships have a main laundry room equipped with several washing machines and dryers.\nWhile you\u2019ll be directed to the main laundry room, it\u2019s often busy. It\u2019s recommended to\nexplore lesser-known laundry rooms scattered around the ship, as you\u2019re more likely to find\navailable machines there. These laundry facilities are typically open 24\/7, so you can wash\nclothes whenever it\u2019s convenient for you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Onboard tap and shower water is technically safe to drink, but it often contains high levels of\nchlorine. Many modern ships have drinking water dispensers, in which case it\u2019s a good idea\nto carry a reusable bottle for convenient and eco-friendly refills. If your ship doesn\u2019t have\nsuch dispensers, you can usually purchase bottled water onboard, but carrying large bottles\nmay be inconvenient given the limited cabin space.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The cruise ship provides bedding, towels, bath mats, and shower curtains. When you arrive,\nyou\u2019ll find fresh linens on your bed, but you may want to change them over time. Bedding is\ntypically replaced every two to four weeks, while towels are replaced more frequently. The\nlaundry facilities are open 24\/7, but they can get busy during cabin inspections. It\u2019s advised\nto replace your linens the day before an inspection to avoid the rush.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Although the coffee and tea in the crew mess are usually not of the highest quality, you can\nenjoy better coffee in the crew caf\u00e9 or, if available, in specialty caf\u00e9s onboard. Crew caf\u00e9s\noften offer beverages similar to those found in popular chains like Starbucks, with prices\nranging from $2 to $3. The coffee in the crew caf\u00e9 is generally better than what\u2019s available in\nthe crew mess.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

During your first few days onboard, it\u2019s recommended to visit the Crew Office to transfer\nmoney to your onboard account. This allows you to purchase an internet package, as most\ncruise lines charge crew members for internet access. Connecting to the ship\u2019s internet is\nimportant for staying in touch with loved ones and letting them know you\u2019ve safely boarded.\nYou might also want to buy snacks or essentials from the crew store or enjoy a drink at the\ncrew bar.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

IPM & Safety Drills\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Once you\u2019ve settled in and familiarized yourself with the ship, ask your manager about the\nschedule for IPM and crew drills. IPM (In Port Manning) is a duty that requires a certain\nnumber of crew members to remain onboard even when the ship is in port, in case of\nemergencies. Knowing your IPM schedule is crucial to avoid surprises that could interfere\nwith plans to leave the ship. Additionally, being aware of the drill schedule is essential,\nespecially if drills are planned on days when you\u2019re hoping to explore the port.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
