Cabin Accommodations Follow

Space is limited onboard cruise ships. The cabins are small and shared with another employee. Overnight visitors to cabins are prohibited.

It is important to keep the cabin clean and organized at all times. Regular cabin inspections are held by onboard ship management to ensure that crew cabins are well-kept and maintained, and do not contain illegal substances. Employees are required to give due consideration to their cabin mates. Please be considerate of different cultural backgrounds and be respectful at all times.

The Shipboard Management, or the ship’s HR Center, will assign employee cabins. Any cabin changes must be authorized by Shipboard Management before taking place.
