I'am an ex crew member of Royal Caribbean,,let me tell you, life is touhg on cruise ships,working 16 hours every day seven days with an afternoon off from eleven am to 4 pm.but it's a great experience overall.
humberto montoya hats off to you , good workers r hard to find and in life being good will only bring good things! Be patient, be kind, and youll find!
It's great to discipline yourself working long hours. It will pay off someday. Worked in a beach hotel during high season for long hours for a period 3 months in a stretch.👌👍
Not sure Royal Caribbean would have approved, but I'm glad you recorded it. I've really wanted to know what it was like "downstairs" and this video gave me some good insight!
That is what I mean. For example, you can do behind the scenes tours of crew areas on a lot of ships, but they don't let you bring cameras of any type for security reasons. They'll screen you with security to ensure compliance.
+Tim Alcoser This video was recorded a few years ago when I used to work for RCCL. I am not sure if they would approve or not, but now I don't think it is important anymore.
+Jonas Brum great video man, i cruise a lot with royal caribbean. the staff have always been awesome and they work very hard for all of the guests. people should tip generously.
Thank you for an excellent video! That ship is huge! The passageway right at the beginning goes on and on and on. Probably over 1000 crew members, and some don't see outside for days, I'll bet.
I was crew during that time (conductor of CHICAGO the musical) and seeing this brings back great memories of the crew areas - and the people I recognize from that time! Thanks for posting!
At least I know the crew are allowed downtime to enjoy themselves. I was expecting a hundred people chained to oars rowing to the beat of a drummer. Looks like an awesome work environment.
eu sou estudante de hotelaria pela UFMA e um dos meus sonhos é trabalhar em cruzeiro. Logo que entrei no curso que é um curso vasto e com inúmeras areas de atuação, a hotelaria em cruzeiros foi a que mais me chamou a atenção, desde então eu tenho pesquisado sobre agências e como tudo funciona para aplicação em uma vaga e quanto mais eu procuro sobre a vida de um tripulante mais eu quero ingressar nessa carreira, eu sei que nada é fácil, mas eu sinto que finalmente me encontrei e espero muito poder um dia trabalhar com o que eu amo.
Always curious about the crew areas, thanks. I hope the crew have some gym and/or pool areas too; I know they are there to work, but keeping crew happy and healthy is important, too. Hope you didn't get in trouble with this ending up on CZcams!
Oi Jonas Brum, a área destinada a tripulação é linda neste navio, da pra perceber que na construção do navio eles não só se preocuparam com os futuros passageiros como também com os futuros tripulantes. No navio que eu trabalhai o costa Fascinosa tem um refeitório horrível para os crew e até para os staff, tudo bem que o Fascinosa é bem menor que o Allure, mas mesmo assim eles podiam ter feito um cantinho melhor para a tripulação.
+Graziela Almeida O navio e' lindo... mas se voce nao tem a sorte de estar em uma posicao que te de single cabin, a vida nao eh tao facil assim. As outras cabines sao ainda menores.
I was there in 2016-17 and the canteen is different now, they've added training rooms in place of tables and chairs! So strange seeing it like this in 2013!
Thanks for the video Jonas. I have sailed with Voyager and loved the experience. I have been on 6 cruises and always had good things to say about the staff on all of them. This video, amongst others i've see, confirms that there are a lot of good people working on the ships and I can only extend my gratitude as a passenger for all the hard work they do.
Ótimo vídeo, deu pra ter uma ideia da área dos tripulantes. Vou iniciar na Celebrity X no ano que vem, imagino que seja no mesmo padrão por ser da RCCL.
Oh this was very interesting to see. Thank you for sharing. Hope your friend that didn't want to be on the internet won't get mad at you. I will be going on Allure for Halloween.
Allure has actually managed to respect their crew with these accommodations. If these quarters had been available in the 80's I would have been a Chef or Sous Chef on board in a heartbeat.Instead, I became a "land" chef where the living was much finer
many modern ships no longer have crew areas apart from bunks, when not on duty the crew are allowed free access to all guest areas providing they are in disguise as tourists :-(
Helo.mr.jonas.im shabbir from india.i was just reviewing some videos on youtube and i found urs and saw it. Thank you for showing some of the inside cruiseship.
Ah Yes, Seabourn sailing is actually a class above Royal Caribbean. In that Seabourn clients are more exclusive. I would like to sail someday on one of the ships of the Cunard fleet, and possibly work on the "The World" Cruise Line. Bon Voyage my friend.Take Care of yourself...Hope to meet you some day.
so on a typical cruise, there is floor 1, then floor 0 has infirmary, then how many floors are there below zero? I guess it does vary from ship to ship.
is the entire area in the open - near the helipad meant for crews? Are crew members allowed to be in the open area 24/7? It feels very clauster phobic looking at the room/underground areas
I really enjoyed the video. The crew messdecks are great along with the rec rooms. Very nice. I have a question though, I am a US Navy veteran. When we were at sea we through all our garbage overboard, do the cruise ships do the same thing or do you hold the garbage on station till you hit port......Just curious.
Gostei de saber como é o navio para a tripulação. Este verão vou no Allure, mal posso esperar para estar dentro de um navio mais uma vez e ir ao Johnny Rockets ☺❤
Always everybody told me it is not alow to film the crew area either the guess area and I already worked for 2 different cuises lines. Siempre me dijeron que no era permitido filmar el area de crew ni de pasajeros y ya trabaje para dos navieras distintas. Como podes filmar
OH HI JONAS BRUM THANKS FOR A NICE VIDEO. I ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW CREWS AREA , YOU ARE CAPITAN ? TERE'S MANY BRAZILIAN WITH YOU IN THE SAME SHIP ? I VISITED ARGENTINA , URUGUAY , CHILE AND FRANCE I'AM LOOKING FOR A POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY AS CREW . BEST REGARD WALTER INACIO .FROM BARRETOS SP BRAZIL .
11thWarrior I did 4 contacts on one of the big 3 cruise lines. One day I sat down with a friend of mine who worked on an aircraft carrier and we compared notes. The cruise ship is better in some ways, while the aircraft carrier is better in others. The one common thing is that everyone is working hard, usually 12 on, 12 off.
Nice single room, I was expecting the crew had to shair rooms no window but still very nice single room. They do sell no window rooms to passengers so the crew are getting the same thing but not as fancy but still nice place to sleep. I hear crew work very long hours and have 6 day work weeks so you work very hard for your money and room. I heard most crew send all their money home to their family in most cases.
Margaret Cabral If you work on the bridge you never get a day off, and usually its 4 hours work, 8 hours rest, 4 hours work and 8 hours rest again. Then there often comes overtime. The longest shift ive had was 32 hours in a row on a general cargo vessel, mooring, sorting lashing equipment, cleaning the cargo hold, repairing a broken bulkhead, unmooring and keeping lookout. Back then I was but an apprentice so I didnt even get to collect that sweet ovetime and stevedore bonus, or any wage at all for that matter :p
regent said leave wallet behind, yes I will leave behind and just come with myself and needs for a free trip to stay on ship until I die on the ship. They said leave the wallet behind so I will come alone in my wheelchair and let them take care of me for free leaving my wallet behind. What do you think they will say, when I say they told me to leave my wallet hehind in their ad so I am here .
+hjpop All cabins on allure have that second bed in there in order to make the cabins easier to convert into double. I was an 2 strip officer on that time and yes, I had a single cabin.

@humberto what job did you work?
Hey man maybe we were colleagues then what was your job on board?I agree with you it's a great experience if you survive 😉

Jonas Brum I have to say that the elevators on cruise ships really sucks 😒
Tim Alcoser w
He has a lot of brothers
freeman1352 thats how he maintains good attitude and self conscious to himself which will reflect upon everyone else, great vibes!
Love how you tell that guy this isn't going on the internet, and here we are 140,000 views later. LOL.
Thanks for this. I worked on Allure as Conductor of Chicago the Musical for most of three years and this was a lovely nostalgic trip!
Jim Maneri I
Tell you one thing the camera guy is very popular amongst his coworkers lol
yeah, you get to be popular when u're an officer :))
Dan Suhanea You can be an officer and still be hated onboard!
Jonas Brum True, i know. I worked on cruiseships myself. It goes both ways
M1 is how we call the main alley of the crew area at Princess. Apparently its called I-95 in Royal Caribbean ships.
Thank you for an excellent video! That ship is huge! The passageway right at the beginning goes on and on and on. Probably over 1000 crew members, and some don't see outside for days, I'll bet.
crew area looks pretty nice. i mean, it's no luxury accommodation, but for a crew space, nothing to be ashamed of.
You're really lucky.. a solo room!! A sneak peek behind the scenes.. so cool!
Most probably he was asst manager, manager or officer. They have solo cabin.
I'll be starting there myself in April...looking forward to it!
Great to know some of it before, so thanks for posting this.
It's what some ships call the crew deck (deck 4 usually). It runs from one end of the ship to the other sort of like a highway hence the M1.
He must be special. Most crew cabins are shared among 4 people, not just one person.
I was crew during that time (conductor of CHICAGO the musical) and seeing this brings back great memories of the crew areas - and the people I recognize from that time! Thanks for posting!
At least I know the crew are allowed downtime to enjoy themselves. I was expecting a hundred people chained to oars rowing to the beat of a drummer. Looks like an awesome work environment.
There is no time to enjoy it
I worked there as a musician for a few months. it was hell.
Immagine what it was like to work as a waiter.

It's really hard to have any free time cos you literally work like a slave on that ship
06:25 ... thats ok, your not going to internet, only my father will see this ? .......154,312 people have now seen it lol
And everyone now know that he smokes...
liar :(
LIAR
how do the oil workers get pay by there bosses??

One thing for sure,you can't take a "sick" day and not get busted your boss😂😂😂
You can't take a sick day anyway unless you stop breathing 🤒
(UVI) st-Thomas my fav port. and it looks beautiful at night ...love from carnival magic.🚢🚢🛳
I have started a new channel with more Crew videos, please check it out in czcams.com/channels/HQC7wedIvxBI4VLwVm2DKw.html
Thanks for the video Jonas. I have sailed with Voyager and loved the experience. I have been on 6 cruises and always had good things to say about the staff on all of them.

the crew has multiple bars that's awsome

Thanks interesting video appreciated what you guys do for us cruisers
Oh this was very interesting to see. Thank you for sharing. Hope your friend that didn't want to be on the internet won't get mad at you. I will be going on Allure for Halloween.
+Thagirion9 I am sure he isn't upset...
+Jonas Brum Wow this was a long time ago. I will be on the Allure again this Aug 2016. Perhaps I will see you.
+Thagirion9 I am working for another cruise line now...
Jonas Brum
Ah well good luck then.
I was on it the same time you were. Had a great time Halloween.
I did many cruise but never see the other side of ships. Thx alot.
Just my father is going to see this. LOL!
Memories of a time gone by.
Loved sailing on Allure of the Seas. It was cool to see crew that I recognized in your video.
after being in so many companies Royal Caribbean is the best for crew life
Thanks jonas....and have a nice trip on this big ship...greetings from holland
WHOA....I've only worked for Princess....the cafeteria here looks AMAZING lol! And I can't believe how long the "M1" is...wow..what a beast!
Allure has actually managed to respect their crew with these accommodations. If these quarters had been available in the 80's I would have been a Chef or Sous Chef on board in a heartbeat.Instead, I became a "land" chef where the living was much finer
+atiboyful Sous Chef has to live in a cabin half of this size and share a bathroom.
I was an Executive Chef in Manhattan at the time in the 80's so I guess I would have demanded my own quarters!
you wouldn't have "demanded" anything.
11thWarrior - And, that is why I decided to remain in NYC as an Executive Chef! Life has its landlocked comforts after all!
Amei, Jonas, vou trabalhar lá em 1 mês e meio ahahahaha
many modern ships no longer have crew areas apart from bunks, when not on duty the crew are allowed free access to all guest areas providing they are in disguise as tourists :-(
SENSATIONAL - I'm sailing in Ovation of the Seas in November 2018
Thanks a lots for your tourist guiding
Great video. I didn't see my son though. He is guitar player in the orchestra.
Luxury cabin. 👍🏼
Before I would ever go on a Cruise, it"s important to me that the crew eat well too!
You should make more of these
It is said that crew members take 12 minutes getting from there work stations to the crew area for a break.
At 7:40 that drydocked sailing yacht looks like a Perini Navi.
Especially for the number of crew bar that generate great revenue for the company
Really interesting. Such long corridors.
@ 4:27 “The Boombaclot Club”.....
Helo.mr.jonas.im shabbir from india.i was just reviewing some videos on youtube and i found urs and saw it.

You have a lot of brothers.

You should have showed more ...I think on deck 5 there is a library, crew internet and games zone.
Jonas, gostei do vídeo!
Faltou mostrar a academia da tripulação. haha
Nice job on your video.
This might seem stupid but is the crew section of the ship underwater? I know they don’t have windows, I think?
Good job on your video
so on a typical cruise, there is floor 1, then floor 0 has infirmary, then how many floors are there below zero? I guess it does vary from ship to ship.
Hope to meet you James one day a board the Allure of the Seas...if you are still sailing on her.
Hm... this looks like the port of a certain city in the Carribean... St. Thomas! Now i remember :P
is the entire area in the open - near the helipad meant for crews? Are crew members allowed to be in the open area 24/7? It feels very clauster phobic looking at the room/underground areas
01:40 My Goan Borthers talking Konkani!!
Yes, great to see what they

When we were at sea we through all our garbage overboard, do the cruise ships do the same thing or do you hold the garbage on station till you hit port......Just curious.
shane gilbert garbage is incinerated if possible or compressed for recycling. nothing is released overboard
wow great video friend. you are in the marine crew? what is your position?
wow so cool ships ty for that video so cool Dow stairs :)
Its good to see your video... thanks.. and say hi to Indonesian there... 😁
Gostei de saber como é o navio para a tripulação. Este verão vou no Allure, mal posso esperar para estar dentro de um navio mais uma vez e ir ao Johnny Rockets ☺❤
Quais escolas de formação você fez para estar a bordo? Este também é meu sonho. :)
Always everybody told me it is not alow to film the crew area either the guess area and I already worked for 2 different cuises lines. Siempre me dijeron que no era permitido filmar el area de crew ni de pasajeros y ya trabaje para dos navieras distintas. Como podes filmar
I didn't know Allure had a helipad. Has it ever been used? Is it usually for extremely late VIPs who just don't want to wait in line at the dock?
+largol33t1 They all do.
OH HI JONAS BRUM THANKS FOR A NICE VIDEO. I ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW CREWS AREA , YOU ARE CAPITAN ? TERE'S MANY BRAZILIAN WITH YOU IN THE SAME SHIP ? I VISITED ARGENTINA , URUGUAY , CHILE AND FRANCE I'AM LOOKING FOR A POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY AS CREW . BEST REGARD WALTER INACIO .FROM BARRETOS SP BRAZIL .
Great job Young Man
Fala cara, tranquilo?
Sera que vc poderia listar todos "itens" da area de crew? Como academia, bares etc. Tudo que tem no Allure, obrigadooo
very big cabin!)
Hello from time travel
are you allowed to take a spin in those country while you don't work?
I would love to know on which department you work for
way better than some of the other videos on your tube
Show me all of your brother's man lol
Does any of the crew cabins have portholes?
make a wish this video time is 11:11 :)
The corridors are looooong...
The cabin is too small.The ship is beautiful!
That's luxurious compared to what you get if you join the Navy.
11thWarrior I did 4 contacts on one of the big 3 cruise lines. One day I sat down with a friend of mine who worked on an aircraft carrier and we compared notes. The cruise ship is better in some ways, while the aircraft carrier is better in others. The one common thing is that everyone is working hard, usually 12 on, 12 off.
06:47 Watch it! A pack of phone zombies!!
Is that outside area just for crew members?
Upload more of these
9:17 the first window,emm,theres a room D:? (sorry for my bad english)
Nice
6;25 I didn't realize I had an illegitimte son. Sonny bot, how are you?
im eager to work on-board...
Enjoyed
Nice single room, I was expecting the crew had to shair rooms
no window but still very nice single room.

I noticed that your room has only 1 bed, you were a 2 strip officer I presume?
Other videos of the Allure or the Oasis, always show 2 bunk beds.
+supertamal2000 There is a second bed in there. The area on the wall is actually the bottom of the second bed that is folded in the "up" position.
+hjpop All cabins on allure have that second bed in there in order to make the cabins easier to convert into double. I was an 2 strip officer on that time and yes, I had a single cabin.
+Jonas Brum thanks for the info Jonas!.. You know I always wondered, are there any crew with disabilities like deafness?
+Jonas Brum Yeah, I know that. I was just responding to supertamal. Thanks for sharing!
Como trabalhar na RCI?
05:58 A photographer.
CARACOLES!
Private room, not bad.
