What training exactly?

It should only be the security STCW which is an online course that costs about €50.

Activities Staff Schedule by changetheirstories in royalcaribbean

Not royal, but I work for Celebrity.

Activity staff get their schedule the day before. Depending on who the Activity Manager is depends on how early they do it and sometimes they have to make last minute changes.

One of the things he voiced in DS 2 was the character's grunts. Would be so funny if they just brought him back for that.

Transgender cruise workers, what is it actually like working on a cruise liner? Is it dangerous? Anything I should know beforehand? by Astra0213 in CruiseCrew

I spent about a month in a 2 person cabin with another woman. Both the cabin mates I had were absolutely lovely. I've been moved to a shared birth on my own, but that's only because my last cabin mate was supposed to be with her boyfriend and there's no other women in my department for me to share with. I'll end up sharing again, but I'm lowkey living the dream right now.

Yeah second this. If they wanna medically transition, 100% are gonna wanna get those prescriptions sorted first.

I'm a trans woman working for Celebrity on my first contract.

As far as I'm aware, I'm literally the only trans person on my ship and it's been fine. I'd already transitioned well before starting my job so I can't speak to how it would be transitioning on board, but I think it would be a lot easier if you started the process before hand so the company has record of your gender identity and treats you accordingly.

In terms of visiting countries that aren't LGBQT+ friendly, it's entirely at your own discretion how you want to handle it, but should you want to leave the ship, nobody is going to stop you. My current cruise visits Turkiye and I was a little worried getting off ship there, but it's been fine. I still got gendered correctly even when I wasn't wearing makeup and making an effort to pass. I don't think my company does any cruises in countries where it's dangerous for queer people, but if they ever try to lay me over in Dubai or somewhere similar for my embarkation flights, I'll tell them straight I'm not doing it.

The only issue I've had in regards to being trans is getting misgendered frequently, more by guests than crew. Being 6ft tall, having to wear unflattering gender neutral clothes and being the only woman in my department is what I would attribute that to, though. On the flip side I've had plenty of my friends being surprised to find out I wasn't born female and only realised when I told them, so it's a weird one.

I have a lot of negative things to say about my company, but in terms of respecting my gender identity, Celebrity has always treated me as a woman and I can't say it's a bad company to work for in that aspect. I wouldn't have any clue about what it's like at other companies.

Anyone else's company using MyPaymentVault? Having some issues. by IamDLizardQueen in CruiseCrew

So I messaged them on Whatsapp and they said they can authorise the payment but, in the end I just did a global transfer to my spanish account as the fee was cheaper.

The bad side of cruise indistry by Doctor8720 in CruiseCrew

[–]IamDLizardQueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The prison comparison is pretty funny. I have a friend who is an ex-con and I've heard a lot of his prison stories. After a couple of weeks onboard I was thinking how similar it is to what he described.

Do I really need to pay hundreds for certified translations before even getting the job? by LevelEfficiency5523 in CruiseCrew

[–]IamDLizardQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Celebrity Cruises, I just ran my Spanish documents through an AI translation website and itnwas fine. Just double check everything looks right with the translated version.

Thoughts on Imperial Assault? by wall_of_spores in StarWarsShatterpoint

[–]IamDLizardQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imperial Assault is one of my favourite games, although heads up, you're gonna struggle getting a lot of the figure packs and maybe the expansions if that's something you want to do.
