    Thanks for sharing your experience. Always felt there was a thin wall between cruise staff and guests until I initiated a conversation with a very impressive guitarist in the gym that I remember from another ship. He told me he was covering for someone else this time during his “vacation” time. I could tell he was very happy that I remembered him during his previous cruise contract. Thanks for all the work you do.

    So sad that 30 yrs later the mess food is still not great. I remember living on salad and fries for days on end. Eating off the ship literally saved me. Thanks for another great vlog.

    I literally worked on Freedom of the sea's in 2016 for 2 years! This is bringing me back! It looks exactly the same! I used to fill my fridge once a week at publix with yogurt, cheese and other snacks and lived off of fridge snacks and the windjammer for dinner!!

    I used to work on Freedom (2014-15)!! I would take the raw broccoli from the salad bar and put it in a bowl of hot water, cover with a plate and then wait for my blanched broccoli! I'd also fill my pockets with hard boiled eggs for my late night snack.... but don't let the cabin inspectors know you've got thoseee lmao. We did drydock where it was tough to find anything but ramen cups during the 3am fire watch. Thanks for sharing your stories, really takes me back!!!

    The plight of all hard working young people is getting food when you can, if you can. In the early part of my career, driving from one place to another it would be McDonalds quarter pounder with fries and drink. First chowed down the fries before they get cold then the burger and washed down with the drink. All while driving! Impressed you tried to keep up some sustenance but oh boy, some things never change. Very good video!

    I am a retired dancer (ballet). I could not have eaten most of the food on board. My digestive system would have most definitely rebelled. I give you all credit for having such strong stomachs. 👍🏻

    I guess I assumed by the title of the video that you were saying that there were not enough healthy food options in the crew mess. That's clearly not the case because I saw a ton fruits and vegetables in the crew mess and even off the ship, but most of the things you were eating were not healthy at all. But hey, you're young, active, and have great metabolisms, so go for it!😃

    Love you vlog! We just went on our 2nd cruise. We appreciate so much all of the staff . I have a question though about the bread. We were on harmony of seas for 7 nights and i couldnt find a single peice of reg sandwich bread lol they had delicious looking sandwich material but no soft bread. It wasnt a big deal. But i thought it was strange. I have a lot of stomach issues and can only eat a few different breads. So i just didnt eat the bread because i wasnt sure what kind it was. But it was all hard as a rock lol

    • @krista.jocelyn
      @krista.jocelyn  Місяць тому

      I find they mostly have rolls rather than regular sandwich bread! Not sure why haha

    After working on a cruise ship so long, do you still enjoy your job? And passengers how do you feel about passengers do you enjoy when you get smiles from the passengers after the hard work to entertain, is it still fun or rewarding. Last question how often have you personally experienced a bad passenger that maybe was rude or disrespectful if at all . Thank you for what you do and be sure to say to all your cast mates that you all are appreciated for what you do for all of us on our vacation

    • @krista.jocelyn
      @krista.jocelyn  Місяць тому +1

      I do still enjoy the job! Getting to perform is such a blessing though I do miss home! and I love meeting guests!! To be honest I rarely have a bad interaction with guests but that’s probably because my job isn’t as guest facing. I’m sure guest services deals with a lot more of that!

    your crew mess options def remind me of my college dining hall situation and also the way you guys lining up for the patties reminded me sm of pretzel day in the office!! You should def try beef patties with coco bread the way they're meant to be eaten when you get the chance! And whenever you're in fort Lauderdale or Orlando and you have time you should try Golden Krust it's an amazing jamaican owned and operated franchise that specializes in beef patties (hence the name lol) and has a ton of other great jamaican dishes
