Not sure which ship this is yet, but you can clearly see the Carnival Cruise Line logo on the screen panel, and it looks like Deck 8 near the stairway. The video was posted on X, but no info on when this actually happened

Crew members aboard MSC Euribia, currently docked in Dubai, say uncertainty and frustration are growing after a town hall meeting with senior ship officers regarding the ongoing situation in the region. A crew member who asked to remain anonymous said the ship has been effectively stranded in Dubai since cruise operations in the Persian Gulf were cancelled on February 28, 2026, following escalating military tensions in the region. War Risk Compensation Concerns One of the main concerns...

Carnival’s John Heald was replying to a guest celebrating an anniversary onboard Carnival Panorama—all warm and professional… until his message suddenly turned into pure dog chaos 🐕💩 Turns out, he forgot to switch off voice dictation while his very naughty German Shepherd went full drama mode in the background 😅 To his credit, John owned it and apologized—but honestly, this is why people love him. Because sometimes… the real entertainment isn’t onboard. It’s at home 🐾😂

Just got this message from Princess about the new tattoo policy that kicked in April 2, 2026, and honestly, it’s going to affect a lot of us onboard. Looks like anything visible over 5x5 cm now has to be fully covered while on duty or in guest areas—even sleeves. Sharing the full message below… curious how everyone else feels about this change 👇 PRINCESS Cruises A message to OUR TEAM All Shipboard Teammates Dear Teammates, We'd like to share a friendly reminder that the updated Tattoo...

I know this will go to an empty box, but as I mentioned above if you and your partner works for NCL don't come to Norwegian Luna. I've been working for NCL for over 10 years, no warnings, no problems, not even a single complaint until now. I've been married for five years and I love my partner more than anything in this life. All the ships where we have been working had been so nice to give us a cabin for just the two of us, we don't even need to ask for it. Thats our little home far from...

Good day! Just to highlight somethings NCLH is doing to Stateroom Attendant! Norwegian Cruise Line doesn't pay Stateroom Attendant any of the gratuity the guests pays, NCLH pay Room Steward a flat salary of $1600 per month without gratuity, they say tell the guest that the gratuity goes in a pool and pay some Crew which is a lie, because Room Steward doesn't get that gratuity. Room Steward have 20,22,22,23,24 or 25 Room that's what we have to deal with thanks to the help of this a Fleet...

We are 1500 crew onboard the startup cruise line called Aroya Cruises from Saudi Arabia, operated by Columbia Cruise Services. Since the inauguration on December 16th, the situation and living conditions for the crew are getting harder and more uncomfortable. Prices in the crew bar are getting higher a can of soda costs $2.50, even a bottle of water costs $1, and $12 for a pack. No promotion, no discount, and you can only get it between 6 PM and 1 AM. Five refilling stations have been under...

Several months ago, an email was sent to Mr. Gus Antorcha respectfully requesting a review of this situation. The concern raised was that the Administration Officer role is currently classified and compensated the same as the Night Manager and Guest Services Supervisor roles, with a salary of $2,400. However, the workload, level of responsibility, and operational impact of the Administration Officer position are significantly greater. The request made was to consider reviewing this...

Open Letter from RCCL Serenade CREW. I've been working for RCCL for almost 11 years and the experience in this kind of itinerary really put all the crew members down, "down" meaning we lost a lot of money, I believed that restaurant department are not the only one who's affected but also the BAR DEPT and the HOUSEKEEPING DEPT. Our salary depends on the gratuities that the guests are paying unfortunately the guests have the rights to opt out their gratuities. Week by week there's more and...
