Rare rafinmd Posted October 11, 2019 #277 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Loved the video. Was this while you were still in the shops? Is there also a crew party or are all the crew too busy or exhausted to have one? I typically book long January to March cruises and can't afford to be away at New Years as well, so I've only been on one New Years cruise and that was on Holland America. I'm an early bird and dozed off for the festivities but woke up just in time to see the celebration left overs before the big cleanup started.

I do have footage of the crew party, but didn't include it, in case it got me into trouble with the company. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up the great PR as the "Royal Caribbean Dude" Hi to Rachel and Natalea These cruises are so quick, I guess we just never crossed paths. 3 and 4 day cruises keep my very busy all the time. Thank you. One day I hope to make vlogs for Royal Caribbean full time, so hopefully my YouTube channel will get me there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROYAL CARIBBEAN DUDE Posted October 14, 2019 Author #285 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Just made a little thank you video! Thank you to all of you who have watched and showed support to my vlogs, and I have loved getting to meet some of you who have come onboard my ship. I have also just finished filming a 'how much I earn' video as well, so look out for that. Any guesses out there as to how much my salary is? 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROYAL CARIBBEAN DUDE Posted October 15, 2019 Author #286 Share Posted October 15, 2019 So today is a sea day. I'm sure for everyone here, sea days are relaxing and a lot of fun. For us crew members, it is actually one of the busiest and longest days of the cruise. We be can working up to 14 hours. (including our breaks) My schedule on sea days as an Assistant Casino Host is 11am-4pm and then 7pm-1am Working in the shops my schedule was 9am-11pm (45 minutes for much, 2 hours for dinner) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tree_skier Posted October 18, 2019 #293 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Enjoying this thread and your vlogs as well. Just one question. On my rare trips to Vegas the only table game I played is baccarat. Every time I go to the casino the it seems the baccarat table is closed. Do you ever open it?

Here on Mariner, we don't even have baccarat. I would assume it's more common on the ships in Asia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
