You will report to the Youth Director.

Youth staff will be accommodated in a double-occupancy cabin which includes bunk beds, closet, desk, TV and bathroom (shower, sink, cabinet, toilet). The cabins also have plugs for charging electronics and reading lights over the beds. The cabin is cleaned once a week by a member of the housekeeping team.

Your uniform (day time and elegant) will be provided to you onboard. It is your responsibility to keep it in presentable condition and to take it with you for future contracts. Youth Staff are required to bring their own shoes (blue for Camp Ocean staff and red for Circle C & Club O2).

Extra duties aside from your standard role can include greeting the families, embarkation events, debarkation duties and various safety trainings and drills.

No, but you will receive time off each day to relax and often extended time on port days to explore the ports of call.
