As some of you might guess, working onboard a cruise ship is not an easy job. However, like everything else in the world, it has pros and cons and that's exactly what we are gonna talk about today. 

I met Chanel about 5 years ago onboard a Royal Caribbean ship sailing out of Southampton, England when we both work at the reception. Her genuine personality and her caring for our Guest was remarkable, it was a joy to work with her. 

Today, Chanel will tell you a story of a typical day of a crew member.
