    Lucy, met you on Valiant and your content inspired us to cruise for the first time. The pandemic has been difficult to everyone, but your job requires you to live the ups and downs daily. Hang in there, your positive presence is appreciated by your Virgin peers, your subscribers, and anyone who boards your ship.

    Hi Lucy! I am a huge supporter of you! I’m 21, I just got out of the military and I also have a UA-cam channel. I ran across your videos last year when I first became interested in working on cruise ships! I have been trying since then to become a crew member and was finally offered a job as a photographer last month. I’m finishing up the last of the onboarding and then I get a date! You inspired me so much and have definitely helped me in my decision I have made! I am buying a CAC crew neck before I leave! Thank you so much! #FirstComment

    After college, I never thought to work on a ship. Where I live, there are a lot of ships.

    Hi Lucy, thank you for answering on my question about money. I also stopped to buy coffee on the ship, I am bringing my own in the jar and prepare by myself. Crew bar I can't skip while we are allowed to socialize and also thank God on my company we are allowed to go ashore. All the best! Love your channel. 🥰

    Lucy, I was due to embark on Valiant Lady today but have just heard from Virgin that she’s delayed by a day. So you’re on rescue mission now. See you tomorrow. June of London

    Hey Lucy. Sorry to hear about all the restrictions you are experiencing, I hope that doesn’t lead you to quit, but it sounds like you are not having a good time. Hopefully things get better for you.

    Hi Lucy
    Sorry to hear this. So depressing actually as my fellow crew on Princess and RCL r getting shore leave. Restrictions r being lifted everywhere I cannot believe especially crew on Virgin cannot leave the ship.. I hope your situation changes soon darling . Good luck

    Hi Lucy! Thank you for making all your videos. They are so informative. I was wondering, are you able to get enough fruits and veg to eat? I watched another person's vlog who worked on a Disney cruise and it sounded like crew members were barely given proper nutrition. Like, she described how she would have to force a bowl of rice down cos she wouldn't get anything else to eat and it was either that or fainting during work. It sounded so depressing and dismal. Are crew member able to get proper, healthy nutrition and do they get enough time to eat (rather than having to jam it down your throat before your shift starts again)?

    • @rapture-citizen6949
      @rapture-citizen6949 2 роки тому

      Sorry.. I hadn't really watched your vlogging videos at the time of my question. I was watching more of your informational videos. Now that I have I can see that veg is being offered in the galley. Thanks again for doing the vids. They are great!

    Hi Lucy!
    I was supposed to leave this month for Norwegian but there’s a delay because of my medical. 😭
    Could you please interview one of the Excursions Desk employees when they allow fraternization again?
    Also, do you know if excursion desk crew have privileges to guest areas?
    Love your videos!!! ❤️❤️
    Please hang in there. Sending you love & hugs. xoxo

    Hi Lucy, love your content! I’m about to become a crew member and have been warned by Harding Retail about those restrictions. Have you heard anything about when they’re likely to come to an end?

    could you maybe explain further the whole guest priveleges thing and crew in guest areas for virgin as I was under the impression virgin was a lot more relaxed about it than other cruise lines. thanks!

    What about STCW? Can a crew member embark without it and get trained onboard? Or is it compulsory to have prior embarkation?

    • @paulakatesimbul175
      @paulakatesimbul175 2 роки тому

      Hello, stcw is mandatory if you want to work on a cruise ship. There are other trainings on board like if you want to transfer to another role but you need to have stcw training before going. Included in that training is the Basic Training (BT) which you will need to get your seaman's book.
