CHRIS WONG

Looking forward to it. I'm slightly nervous for the first cruise, but I have lots of time to prepare.

Yes, my contract is scheduled to finish in March. Thank you for watching my vlogs!

My contract is just under 7 months. I'll see you in January!

Yes, I will be onboard. Look forward to meeting you!

Hey guys! So I have some exciting news! I found out last night that I'm going to be transferred to Oasis Of The Seas in 3 weeks time. This is a big step up for me, and a lot more responsibility is going to be put on me - but I'm excited for this challenge. I'll be flying out to Spain to join the ship, and then crossing back to America for the beginning of the Caribbean season. Let me know if any of you will be on Oasis! I look forward to meeting you!

New vlog has just gone live! I reveal how much money I make working onboard!

Haha! I look forward to meeting you! Just look for the Asian kid behind the desk!

I look forward to meeting you Nick. Unfortunately, there isn't anything I can do at this point as our head office always has the final say in what promotions I'm allowed to allocate. I have a lot of guests that come to me with this same problem.

I look forward to seeing you!

I'm from Liverpool! It's actually very common to have a relationship with another crew member onboard. It's easier for me because I don't have a girlfriend/wife at home. I'm lucky that I can go back to my parents house in between my contracts. The rest of my belongings are there. Being away from family/friends is the hardest part of the job, and is something you have to adjust to. Lots of Skype calls! Yes, I never have to worry about job security. As long as I complete my contract, I'm always offered another. And with Royal bringing out new ships every year, job opportunities are always there. If I wanted to, I could do this for the rest of my life.

Yes, I have lots more videos to post. It's just hard to find time to edit with my current schedule onboard the ship. I currently have a 'how much I earn' video nearly finished.

Guys, I'm 5 subscribers away from 400! If you haven't already, smash the subscribe button, and keep up to date with all my work on a cruise ship vlogs! www.youtube.com/ChristopherWongVLOGS Thank you again for all the love so far! We're just about to leave Port Canaveral, ready for yet another busy cruise. I spent today in Publix buying lots of essentials. This is how I typically spend my turnaround day.

I wear my own suits for work, so yes, my uniform is in the suitcase.

Haha! Well our crew cabins are quite small, so we learn to pack light. I think it's a lot harder for the girls.

I would love to do this! Amazing idea!

I will be here till March! I'm sure we'll see each other soon!

My first position onboard was working in the shops, and the retail company that I worked for assigned me Independence Of The Seas. We don't get to choose. It could have been any ship, any cruise line. I feel very lucky to have been offered a Royal Caribbean ship. Working for Royal has changed my life!

Hi everyone, For 6 months, I was working in the shops onboard Independence Of The Seas. I actually got the opportunity to meet some of you guys, and I just wanted say thank you for saying hello! I actually made some YouTube vlogs of my experience during this contract, and wanted to share it with you guys. I'm trying to show what being a Royal Caribbean crew member is like, and I think a lot of you guys will find this very interesting! In this first vlog, I show you the sign-on process. Me, walking on to the ship as a new crew member - followed by a ship tour. https://youtu.be/TwY2wMDjpBk I'm have begun my next contract onboard Mariner Of The Seas for 7 months, starting my new role as a Casino Host. I hope to meet more of you soon, and ask me any questions you may have about being a crew member! Please SUBSCRIBE to my channel as well. One day, I hope to vlog for Royal Caribbean full time! www.youtube.com/ChristopherWongVLOGS Chris

Thanks Ang, you're awesome! I look forward to meeting you in the new year!

Unfortunately, I will be missing this cruise. I'll have to ask my fellow colleagues about it when I join the ship. Sounds interesting to say the least!

Not long to go! I look forward to meeting you!

Our crew cabins are on Deck 1. As shop staff, I share a cabin with one of my fellow shoppees! Yes, the higher rank you are, the better cabin you will have. The captain has a very nice cabin, in which his wife will occasionally stay in as well. We can be working up to 14 hours on a sea-day and up to 6-8 hours on a port day, and yes we work everyday. I plan on posting a lot of content of the crew areas on my Facebook page, so make sure to 'like' me. Search for: ChrisWongVlogs

Hi cruisers! For those of you who don't know me - I'm Chris from Liverpool, and I work in the duty free shops onboard Independence Of The Seas! I'll be joining the ship on December 1st to start my new contract, and I'll be on the ship for at least 6 months! That means 5 months in the Caribbean, and 1 month in Europe! Let me know if any of you guys will be cruising on the ship, and do say hello if you see me in the shops. We should get a photo together! I plan to post content everyday on my social medias throughout this contract - so make sure to follow my ship life and see everything I get up to, both on and off the ship! I want to give you guys a true insight into what living/working on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship is really like. My Instagram is 'ChrisWongVlogs' and my Facebook page is also 'ChrisWongVlogs' Also, ask me any cruise related questions, and I will do my best to find the answers for you when I am onboard. I can't wait to meet some of you guys!

Lots of new content on my Royal Caribbean blog guys! Let me know what you think! https://www.chriswongvlogs.com/work-on-a-cruise-ship-uk
