A cruise ship crew member works aboard a cruise liner, helping to ensure that passengers have a safe and enjoyable holiday experience. Crew roles can vary greatly, including hospitality, entertainment, housekeeping, technical operations, and customer service. Duties may involve serving food and drinks, cleaning cabins, organising activities, or maintaining facilities. Crew members usually live on the ship for the duration of their contract and may travel to many different locations around the world. The job requires flexibility, good teamwork skills, and the ability to handle long periods away from home. It can be a rewarding way to see the world and gain valuable work experience in the hospitality and tourism industry.
