Cruise ship worker reveals biggest pet peeves including piss drunk passengers

He spilled some deep seacrets.A cruise ship crewmember has pulled back the curtain on what it’s like to work on a pleasure vessel, revealing the worst customer antics, best-paid employees and other insider secrets.The high seas employee spilled the beans in an “Ask Me Anything” forum making waves on Reddit.“I work in guest services — ask me anything,” declared the worker, who didn’t disclose their position or company to keep their gig safe.When it came to biggest pet peeves on the high seas, the professional voyager said he was tired of passengers “demanding to see my supervisor/manager.” “{Most of these people I would be happy not to have to deal with, however what they fail to realize is that I might get in trouble if I immediately call a superior without trying to resolve the issue by myself first,” the Redditor declared.

Perhaps the “craziest guest incident” entailed a “piss drunk” passenger who “took off his underwear in the atrium full of people” and had to be “removed by security.”“I don’t he was aware what he was doing, but I think he paid a hefty fine,” recalled the Reddit poster, who said that no “sane person” would work in guest services for an extended period.This comes as crime rates aboard cruise ships leaving the US have reached a two-year high with 48 crimes reported aboard vessels from Jan.1 to Mar 30 this year.
