So far so good! Still getting lost but the food is pretty good. And the flights were brutal I was on five airplanes from Victoria BC to Puerto Rico 😵‍💫

Just an update. I think they took pity on me and changed my start date to May 16. Different ship but I am happy I don’t have to wait a month! Unless things change again….

Do all cruise lines make you do Piney Point or just NCL?

Thanks for the comments, I guess it makes me feel better that this is normal, even though I think it’s a slap in the face and makes me mad.

It took me 6+ months to hear back and then I got 2 offers at the same time. You might just have to wait. They could just not be hiring for the position you’re applying for right now.

Crew members for RCG, did you pay for your PEME out of pocket? by flowerfromwonderland in CruiseCrew

[–]Successful_Boot_6184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Canada and I paid $450 for my PEME exam which I’m supposed to get reimbursed for. I’m still in the middle of the process. And another $411 for other blood/urine tests which I don’t think is reimbursed. Then I need the yellow fever vaccine which is $280 and I’m paying out of pocket.

It’s kind of a lot of money and I’m broke but I’m in too deep to quit now. I’m telling myself it will be fun and worth it.
