How many hours do crew work

I love NCL eph!!! We sailed the "Dreamward" (before they cut her open and added 50ft to the mid-section and renamed her the NCL "Dream") to Bermuda in 1995 and had an absolute BLAST!!! Hope your daughter is doing OK today :)

We were lucky enough to sail on the Dream in 2008 to Bermuda from Boston - one of her last sailings before NCL sold her. What a classy little ship she was, too! :smile:

It's definitely a young persons job d/t the long hrs. It's similar to the resident MDs at my hospital. They have to hump so youth/stamina is a must.

So Paul, as someone who’s familiar with all the shore excursions, what was your personal favorite?

Thanks for your response to my question, Eph. Wow, 18 months of working 7 days is unbelievable. 17 miles per day on the pedometer is amazing. I guess that makes it possible for the crew to really enjoy the great food. I hope all is well with your daughter now.

WeCruiseToo My favorite tours were any flight seeing tour or a tour that I could watch whales. I love seeing wildlife and I love having views from the air. The one advantage of selling tours is you get paid to take all the tours LOL. You need to really know what they are and how they work.

Thanks Paul! We’ve done whale watching in Hawaii (Big Island) and Alaska (Juneau). We’ve taken helicopters in Skagway (to hike on a glacier) and Kaua’i and a small plane in Ketchikan (to go bear watching). All were fantastic excursions! :biggrin:
