    A colleague joined a certain cruise early this year and within a month took photos with an officer, She was summoned by hr for causing commotion and fighting😂 the officer's girlfriend. She was offloaded in Italy with no air fare, no single dollar for hotel stay, when she called the hr she realized she was blocked everywhere. The security who escorted her out of the ship disclosed that she was trying to steal someones husband so the company was relieving her of her duties. Better focus on bringing in profit for the company and getting your pay to build yourself back home.❤

    I have been on a couple of cruises as a passenger, but the social dynamics are fascinating. Thanks for sharing a peak behind the curtain of what is really life on a cruise ship.

    Lucy, thanks for another wonderfully honest (and fun) video. 😀Since I'm mostly a teetotaller (or tea-totaller) I smiled at your comments on drinking, etc., but seriously agree to get a friend to help you! Especially helpful is a friend/buddy that will help keep you from drinking too much, sorta' like a sober (or semi-sober) party-buddy....like a designated-driver on-board. 😀Thanks again for always being honest and direct! Fair winds sweetie.

    Hi! I am boarding virgin voyages for my first contract in December. Can you explain a little bit more about how it works with different privileges and what schedules often look like? I am coming on as the PT for the entertainment staff and trying to plan out my days and treatment times to both take care of myself and make sure I am scheduling at the best time for the performers on board

    Geez, I miss your videos. I started watching because I grew up in Miami and had not been on any of those boats. But then it became to see and hear Lucy. Now I miss you, I guess it is the same as the people you miss and don't see. Great to see you when I do. I hope you don't stop doing these.

    I remember we had a Chief Engineer on one of my ships who had a girlfriend onboard. She was one of the dancers. His wife came on from Greece for about a month and his Ex-Girlfriend who was of of the shop girls was also sailing as a guest the same day as the wife. He sent the wife on as many shore excursions as he could so the ex girlfriend could see him while she was off the ship --- and at night she would go to bed early so he could see the new girlfriend. He actually got away with it . The 2 other girls knew but they didn't care and the wife never found out about either of them. No wonder that guy always had a smile on his face.

    If your supervisor is making your life difficult because you went on a date with their ex, that tells me a lot about the supervisor. And it needs to be dealt with, it's not ok to do what she did.

    I always had problems with Managers and officers because of my ex she was very pretty and younger and everyone of them was behind her.. and officers and managers was not treat me well! Now she's with her fleet manager and he's older than her maybe 25 years that's why I hate now having a relationship at ship because it's just gonna stress you.. Now I know the lesson that's why I'll never have relationship in the ship maybe friends with benefits 😅

    Why people think serious dating is a good idea to get serious with people you might not see ever again due to geographic limits. Why not take it for what it is and enjoy the time and physical needs while on ship and then maybe pursue things after the contract ends. Chances are good, you will never be able to see each other.
