Connecting with Filipino Crew on the Wonder of the Seas

I know this wasn’t the purpose of your post but I just have to share this story…

I am 100% Filipino, born in NYC, raised in Jersey. And while I’ve only been on one cruise, I absolutely love cruising!!

The worst part of cruising for me - the amount of times I got asked a question by people who thought I was a crew member.

“What time does [insert place here] open?” “Where is the nearest restroom?” “How do I get to [insert place here]?” And my personal favorite “Wow, you have to stand in line with the rest of us?” 
 

I must have said “I’m sorry I don’t work here” a dozen or more times! Anyway, I chuckle at it now and if that was the worst of my vacation, so be it haha.

I hear ya! Not only am I 100% Filipino myself, born and raised there, I also love wearing spoofs of the the T-shirts crew members wear.  So you can just imagine how many times I have been mistaken for a crew member.
