Some of the 39 current and former cruise ship employees who spoke with Business Insider said they didn't have much room to move in their cabins.
Managers and those responsible for steering the ship, known as officers, get their own rooms, but they aren't necessarily luxurious.One of the perks of living on a cruise ship is not having to find housing or pay rent, but for some, it comes with a price: small, spare living quarters.
That's particularly true for lower-paid workers like waiters, bar servers, and those in customer-service roles, who are known as crew or staff members. "I was sharing a cabin with another hostess, so obviously we'd have to get ready at the same time, and it was not possible," a former hostess for Costa Cruises said."We'd have to take turns.
Crew and staff members often have one roommate, though they sometimes have three. Their rooms are furnished simply, giving occupants some combination of a bed, desk, closet, a few shelves, and a small bathroom. Workers may also share a bathroom with the room next to theirs or use a communal bathroom with the rest of their floor-mates.Anonymous contractor who has worked for Norwegian Cruise Line
Managers and those responsible for steering the ship, known as officers, get their own rooms, though they aren't necessarily luxurious. In addition to extra space, they may have a few additional accessories, like a television or a refrigerator. "Compared to some of the crew cabins, you had a nice cabin," said a former inventory manager for Royal Caribbean Cruises."The solo cabin was actually humongous," said Chad Stone, a former production manager for Seabourn Cruise Line who moved from a shared room to an individual one after receiving a promotion."I couldn't believe how big it was."
