Lucie Jarvis, who is from the UK, has worked as a performer onboard a cruise ship, and regularly shares insight into life on board.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After revealing the four easiest jobs you can get on a liner on her Cruising as Crew account, she shared the things to avoid at all costs to avoid getting fired\u2026<\/p>\n
1. Having sex with passengers<\/h2>\n
First up was having intimate relations with passengers, and Lucy explained: \u201cSleeping with passengers, this is an absolute no no.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the first thing you learn when you come on board for your contract, it\u2019s \u2018do not have sex with any passenger.\u2019<\/p>\n

I live on a cruise ship & always get asked the same things – yes my room’s free<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n
I tried new MSC cruise ship, it has huge aquapark onboard but it’s a bargain<\/h3>\n
\u201cDoes this happen? Of course it happens.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo people get fired for it? Yes if people find out that it\u2019s happened?\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucy said that it\u2019s often more exciting for the crew member or passenger as it\u2019s forbidden, but she added that CCTV is everywhere so someone is always watching you.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s worth your job.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n
Lucy said the only exception is if you bring someone on board outside of the industry, but you need approval from security if you wish to enter their cabin.<\/p>\n
2. Prostitution<\/h2>\n
Lucy said that it may be surprising, but some people offer up sexual services to make some extra cash on board.<\/p>\n
However, this is obviously not tolerated and will result in an immediate firing.<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cIf you are found out to be exchanging money<\/span> for sex, you will be fired.<\/p>\n3. Drinking too much<\/h2>\n
Lucy said when you are on board a cruise ship there is a drinking limit you have to abide by.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cWhen you are working you can have zero per cent alcohol<\/span> in your system.<\/p>\n\u201cWhen you are not at work you can have 0.05 per cent alcohol in your system, depending on your weight and height, this is about one beer.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added that if they do a random test and you are over, you can be fired.<\/p>\n
She said the reason for the strict rule is in case there is an emergency, as everyone has assigned duties.<\/p>\n
However, she said: \u201cIf you go to the crew bar or out in port and get drunk and you aren\u2019t too loud or causing trouble, no one will really pull you up.\u201d<\/p>\n
If you are having 2am cabin parties, you could be breathalysed.<\/p>\n
4. Missing the ship at port<\/h2>\n
Lucy said that if you miss your ship at the port and it sets off without you, it could be the end of your contract.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cIf you get back to the cruise ship terminal and you are watching your cruise ship sail away, you are fired.\u201d<\/p>\n
5. Drugs<\/h2>\n
Understandably, drugs<\/span> are a \u201cno no\u201d and they do random testing.<\/p>\nLucy said: \u201cIf at any point you are found to have drugs in your system or in your cabin, you will obviously be fired.<\/p>\n
\u201cDepending on the severity of it, you\u2019ll be handed over to the police<\/span> in the docks of the port.<\/p>\n\u201cI do know of some cruise members who have ended up in jail.\u201d<\/p>\n
6. Fighting<\/h2>\n
Lucy said any kind of fighting is prohibited on board.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cIf you throw a punch you are gone. Any kind of physical violence, it doesn\u2019t matter who it is towards, will result in your termination.\u201d<\/p>\n
7. Throwing things overboard<\/h2>\n
The cruise ship worker said that \u201cabsolutely nothing\u201d goes overboard into the ocean.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cWhether that is a cigarette butt or litter, unless it is a life ring to save someone\u2019s life because they\u2019ve fallen in the water, absolutely nothing goes overboard.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a cruise member, if you are seen to be throwing anything overboard and it\u2019s not an accident, and accidents happen, you will be fired.\u201d<\/p>\n
8. Smoking in cabins<\/h2>\n
Although cruise members still try to smoke in their cabins or vape, this is not allowed.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cCrew members do try and smoke their vapes or cigarettes in cabins, some people like to detach their smoke detectors but this is a huge safety violation.<\/p>\n
\u201cTampering with your smoke detector is immediate termination.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you are found to be smoking<\/span> in your cabin, it\u2019s immediate termination.<\/p>\n\u201cYou can kill people if you fall asleep and drop your cigarette on the floor, you\u2019ve detached your smoke detector, people die.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, she pointed out there are designated areas to smoke on board if you need.<\/p>\n
9. Stealing<\/h2>\n
Lucy said that if you are found to be stealing anything on board, it will result in disciplinary action.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cDepending on the severity of what you have stolen will depend on the action taken.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou might be given a warning, you might be fired, you may be handed over to the police.\u201d<\/p>\n
10. Sexual harassment<\/h2>\n
Finally, Lucy said that unsurprisingly sexual harassment will result in your contract being terminated.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cWhether that be someone superior, lower position to you, anyone, you will be fired.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really important to report it to security so they have a log of it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you are reported to have sexually harassed someone you will be fired and depending on the severity of it, you may be handed over to the police as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
