What is a cruise ship crew member?
Every employee working onboard a cruise ship is a crew member. Within the crew are three distinct groups: Officers, Staff and finally Crew. Each group provides you with specific guide lines. The position of Cruise Staff is a “Staff” position onboard and not “Crew”. “Crew” are normally not allowed in guest area’s when off duty (crew make up nearly 80% of the onboard workforce). As a staff member you normally have better accommodations and also a higher standard of living with regards to food and beverage options and other benefits. As a staff member you are allowed in guest area’s when off duty (a dress code is usually strictly enforced in guest areas) “Staff” positions provide many benefits onboard.
