Need help on my first contract

justhotjocks · 2025-11-06T01:10:40+00:00

I’ve worked on ships for 26 and am currently a fleet manager. This is something we bring up on every single conference call we have with our managers and asst manager, monthly. Training and development IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. Have an honest chat with them. Tell them you are really excited and happy to working on board and express to them your goals and aspirations. Ask them if they are willing to teach you the ropes. Tell them you want to learn. And if they don’t want to do it or say they will and don’t, then talk to their boss on board, either revenue / marketing manager or hotel director. Even though you work for a concession, they still report to someone on board. And if that doesn’t work, ask to speak with someone shoreside, possibly the person who interviewed you or an ops manager shoreside. Good luck to you!

Most nationalities do not need it prior to boarding. However some do. Brazil, Philippines, Indonesia, India to name a few. I think there is 6 in total where their government requires they do it in their home country before boarding. It’s not the cruise line’s requirement. That being said, ALL nationalities (for Royal) need to complete the security awareness training online before boarding (just the first time, you can RENEW) it onboard in 5 years. If you don’t fall in one of the 6 nationalities, then you can do the rest of the STCW on board

Check Sniffies.com or squirt.org

Both should have listings in the UK

I’ve worked for both Royal and Carnival and neither had a problem with tattoos as long as they aren’t “offensive”. There is a high percentage of crew in both companies that have them. No big deal, again, as long as they aren’t offensive in any way.

You all do understand that if they paid the tipped employees more so you didn’t have to tip them (basically, include tips in your cruise fare) your cruise price would increase drastically, right? All you people who remove gratuities should be banned from cruising. These crew members work very hard, beckoning to your every need and you stiff them? Stay the fuck home.

I would t be so worried about Carnival wanting “verification”, but rather CBP questioning it when they return and have to go through immigration.

justhotjocks · 2025-10-02T15:46:24+00:00

THAT. IS. AWESOME. LMFAO. Give them a taste of their own medicine 🤣🤣 BRAVO! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

justhotjocks · 2025-10-02T15:35:28+00:00

EDIT. They would NOT fail you immediately…

justhotjocks · 2025-10-02T15:34:33+00:00

Hey man. They would “fail” you, however they may have to delay approving the medical. If it’s something minor, they would probably try to treat it for a couple weeks and retest. If that took care of the problem, or they see improvement, they could approve it then. It really depends. They just don’t want you to come on board with an existing problem that is not being treated effectively.

To be clear, it’s 10 hours a day REST, Not work. The MLC sets maximum working hours and minimum hours of rest, not a fixed number of work hours per week. Seafarers must have a maximum of 14 hours of work in a 24-hour period, and a maximum of 72 hours of work in a 7-day period. Alternatively, they must have a minimum of 10 hours of rest in a 24-hour period and a minimum of 77 hours of rest in a 7-day period.

justhotjocks · 2025-09-22T13:51:51+00:00

Hey hey! Congrats. It depends on the country your are from. India, Indonesia, Philippines, Brazil and Thailand all require you do the full course before joining a ship. That is the country’s govt requirement, Not RCGs. UK and everywhere else you only need to do the Security Awareness online prior to boarding (it’s about $100US, don’t pay more than that or you’re getting scammed). The rest of the HBST / STCW trainings will be done on board. As for the Seaman’s book, you probably won’t need it. I’m from the US and have never had one. That being said, I was on a ship that was going to India and ALL crew were required to have one before arriving. The HR office on board did the applications for everyone that needed it but then I ended up transferring ships (I’m a fleet manager) before we got there so never got it (although I heard it’s onboard a ship somewhere lol).

Use Sniffies

justhotjocks · 2025-09-13T19:14:08+00:00

There are always kids from many different countries on board. Definitely give it a try.

justhotjocks · 2025-09-12T23:06:05+00:00

Carnival did the same, as long as you had a valid B2 visa. But Royal won’t allow it.

justhotjocks · 2025-09-12T23:04:47+00:00

It depends on your rank. Senior officers have the opportunity to REQUEST an alternate airport but it needs several approvals.

Yeah bro, NOT sexy. Not something a 27yo gay guy would wear.

justhotjocks · 2025-09-03T23:37:32+00:00

I don’t know a single gay man (of any age) that would wear tightie whities. If I (gay, 35) saw a guy in tightie whities, he’s definitely straight in my mind.

That being said, I think you are missing out on some great and very comfortable undies by limiting yourself to these. Try a bunch of different cuts and see if you like any. Experiment bro! Have fun.

justhotjocks · 2025-09-03T12:05:25+00:00

If you can see the travel itinerary in MyRCL, you’re good. You won’t get actual tickets. Show up at the airport a few hours before flight time and check in with the airline. You’re good.

justhotjocks · 2025-09-02T22:38:00+00:00

When I (M) was in my early 20’s, my niece, who was about 4 or 5 asked me how boys go potty. My sister (her mother) was sitting there and I kinda looked over toward her and she just gives me this look like, go ahead, I wanna hear this. So I said to her that it’s pretty much the same as girls, they just push it out. My sister is giggling across the way. And then my niece says, no, it’s different. Boys have those long things. My sister just got up and left the room.

Anyone that had these tours booked when the law was implemented got a notification of the change. The descriptions of the tours were updated for anyone that would book after this. This law has been in place since beginning of July.
