the new microphone is loads better, I have previously struggled to hear x
I love Everything you’re saying that you’re saying I will say one thing If you’re British citizen doing a person you need to answer to the Hmrc irrelevant of what anyone tells you you don’t answer to anyone apart from Hmrc There’s no repercussions to your home country you don’t need to worry your country well anyways circumstances I have you and protect you paying tax for other countries It’s a scam and despite all the crap yeah when you register any country you live in then your government to pay their tax loss but you accept the terms and conditwhich is the police fire ambulance and healthcare the value of the boat
As a passenger, I too prefer Disney, even though I don't have kids. I've been on all the major cruise lines and for me Disney is the best service.
After working in any store like jewellery store or fine watch store for few years at cruise. Is it possible to work on land in same brand in same country ?
The new mic is GREAT!!! I always had to turn my volume up all the way to hear you, but not anymore! I noticed the improved audio right away!
Hi I am from India, I am 3rd Engineering officer in Merchant Cargo ship my shipping company also manages Cruise ships of different owner, expedition cruises, Marella cruises, hapag lloyd cruises and many more, these are some of them. should I shift into Cruise as 3rd engineer? I wanted to know do Engineer officers get separate cabin in cruise ship? because i am an introvert.
Sound is good
Hi Lucy, thank you for another great video. The sound is fine. All the best from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks for the microphone upgrade!
See you in KT.
Sending lots of love back to you ❤
Is it possible ask you for a suggestion here?,, wanna know only which are the differences between princess and royal?
Sound is great, and someone who never worked on cruise ship but worked for all my life, I can count on one hand the personal free time I have not just in a week but a month.
With contracts being months-long I've gotta believe it can get lonely, especially for people in newer relationships. Speaking in general, how much unfaithfulness have you personally seen? Would be curious to know if "what happens at sea stays at sea" is a common thing? Btw- Sounds great👍
Loved it, mic quality is great! ❤️😘

Miss you…….would you tell us more about your future plans?
Thank you very muchLucy for this informative video. All the details are just exactly what the new joiner is looking to find out. Especially very helpful to hear comparisons to other cruise lines, as myself I am also with long ships experience from many other cruise lines and my interest goes exactly to things you mentioned. I will be accomodated in a single cabin in a midmanagement level role with 2.5 stripes perks. Do you have any clue are those single cabins with the portholes or just inside cabins? I assume it might depend on the ship class... Regarding the 4K video, it's a good resolution quality no doubt, but your camera focus was set to automatic mode so it keeps moving the focus from you to all those magnets on the wall behind you. I have a large magnet collection myself, no more space on my fridge 😅 Thanks again, have safe sailings and lots of fun ⚓
Mic is top notch.. The truth is you experienced what wealthy people have.. You didn't clean your clothes, you didn't clean your room, you didn't cook or did the dishes... It was allocated to someone else so ''freeing up'' more time for you for leisure! The difference now is that you have to do it Vs someone is payed to do it for you. Hence the when I was on a ship, It felt like I had more time.
Wow, you are so right. I didn't even think of it like that! No wonder I enjoyed it ha ha. Thanks for watching and for the feedback on the mic! X
@@CruisingAsCrew with pleasure...
Don’t worry Lucy, mike sound is 👍🏼.
Thank you x
Listening in an iPad and you sound clear and volume is good. As far as time, even though a work day on land is only 9 to 10 hours, there’s also typically a commute which can add an hour or two to the total.
Thanks for the feedback on the mic. You are right about the commute! Even more reason a crew member feels that they have more tome onboard than on land! Thanks for watching x
I miss watching/hearing from you. Time to get back on board and working on a ship again :)
Sound is great
MIC sounds great.. Thanks!
Thank you x
Sound is good Lucy!
Thank you so much x
Very interesting video Lucy. I would never be in a position to choose, but it would have to be a tough decision.😕 stay well.
Thank you xx
Having your friends in close proximity on a ship sounds good, but it must lead to some awkward moments if you have a falling-out with one of them.
Ahh it does ha ha. It can be very awkward 😬
Such an interesting video 😊
Glad you think so!xxx
I loved working on a cruise ship. Nothing else to worry about on my time off. I was fed, given a bed, saw gorgeous places and even enjoyed doing laundry, didn’t need to spend much. For me it was very much a working holiday and I never felt tired as I did on land as a teacher. I’m older and my kids stayed with my ex so I loved it. 2 hours off at lunch, I’d just get changed and sunbathe on crew deck. Port days I’d get up early and explore before starting work at 2. Bliss!
Ohhh Bex, your making me miss it too ha ha. Yes, sunbathing on my lunchbrak was a firm favourite. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Lunch breaks is definitely for the outside deck😅
Hey Lucy… sound is great! Same levels now as RUclips’s commercials!
Ahh that's great to hear. Thank you x
Mmmm i love me some Lucy! So delicious ❤❤
Maybe it’s more of a question of amount of free time vs quality of free time.
Exactly 😘
Agree on this point. 3 hour break but it would be a rush in the port or your so exhausted you don’t go out
The sound is good. Enjoyed your blog.
Thank you so much 💓
sound was fine for me! 😊
Sound good for me
Thanks for watching
this is interesting Lucy. Such a GOOD topic. ...naps....for me...IMO i do BETTER quality work in the afternoon w an hour nap😊 around noon
Thank you so much! Ohh a good nap is so great. I wish I could nap at home ha ha.
So in conclusion best thing in life is win lottery and live on a cruise ship so I have to do nothing in life😂.
Ha ha when you win, take me with you 😂
Lucy, the sound is loud (turned down my laptop level to 10%) and your voice is clear (but you should work on room acoustics). Love that you find "more crap" to do onshore, Ha ha! That's life on-shore for most people these days. 😀Perhaps you'll think about working on-board (for 1/2 the year), next year? (advantageous to your youtube channel as well?) Fair winds sweetie! P.S. Remember even as an adult, you CAN still live a fun adventurous life (without too much "crap")...I do and my late Mom did for almost 103 years!! 😀
I'm sorry about your mom. She enjoyed Lucy's content.
Hi John, Thank you for the feed back on the sound. Oh your mom did so well. As are you. Thanks for watching John, your support means the world!
@@CruisingAsCrew You're very welcome! 😀BTW, check ur email, I sent you some cool info/ideas. Fair winds! (and be sure to enjoy the few days of warm weather you've got!)
@@frederikalinden2128 Thanks. Yeah, she loved looking/reminiscing about places she'd been over the years...even when her body was failing, her mind and spirit was still there 'til the end...almost 103 years, she taught me a LOT about life! Thanks again.
Hi, Lucy. Another great video. Very interesting perspective about personal time. By the way, the new microphone is great. I can hear you much better than before.
Hi Ken, thank you so much for watching, I'm glad the sound was better! Take care!
What job are you doing now on land?
I'm just doing youtube at the moment. X
@@CruisingAsCrewPump out more content girl then. We miss it haha
Hi Lucy, the Mic sounds good. I can see having more time on a ship. Congrats, almost 70K.
Hi, thank you so much. I know, 70k is crazy 🤪 Thank you for your feedback on the mic! And for watching! X
Sound is good!!
Pros and cons of both…
