Text Box: What to Take? Life at sea is diverse, and what you take should allow you to meet the diversity of the activities you will be participating in. Employees are required to appeal professional at all times. You will also have the opportunity to be a part of formal ship events. Finally, you will need to be prepared for the particular position you will be fulfilling. Therefore, include any specific equipment unique to your position that is not included in the following suggestions. Cabins are large enough to accommodate an uncluttered lifestyle. You won’t need many casual clothes, as you will be required to wear a uniform. Therefore, consider the following items when you are packing, and pack light! Formal evening dress (women) Formal (dark) suit(s) (men) Travel alarm clock Swimwear & beach towel Travel first aid kit Toiletries (minimum one month supply) A few casual clothes (e.g. jeans and a few t-shirts), which are permitted in the crew area only Visas and Travel Documents: If you are offered a position with a Cruise Liner, you will need to obtain the necessary US C1/D Seaman’s Visa. All employment offers are subject to applicants obtaining this visa as you can not enter the United States without it. This visa entitles you to enter the U. S. for the purposes of joining a Cruise Ship. Most recruitment services reimburse you for the cost of the visa. All necessary documentation will be sent to you after you have received a letter confirming your position from Crews International. Once your employment status is confirmed, the visa normally takes three to four weeks to process. Medical and Travel Insurance: The Cruise Line Companies do not provide employees with travel insurance. Travel insurance remains the responsibility of the applicant. However, once you are on board and working on the Cruise Liner, you will automatically be covered for medical insurance.
