Crew
Category: maritime
All individuals employed to work on the ship, spanning deck, engineering, hospitality, and entertainment teams.
Cruise crews are diverse, international teams. They are split into "front-of-house" (guest interactions) and "back-of-house" (engines, logistics, galley). A massive support structure is required to maintain the ship and service thousands of guests.
Common Examples
- The international crew hails from over sixty different nations, ensuring a multilingual service experience for all guests onboard.
- Life for the crew involves long contracts and specialized "crew-only" living quarters located in the ship’s lower levels.
