Do Cruise Ship Workers Hook Up?

By Alice Nichols

It’s a question that has been asked by many and the answer is not as simple as it may seem.

For years, rumors have been circulating that suggest that cruise ship workers do in fact hook up. But is there any truth to these rumors

To find out, we spoke to several former cruise ship workers who anonymously shared their experiences with us. Their stories were quite varied, but all of them agreed that there did seem to be some truth to the rumors about cruise ship workers hooking up.

One former worker described how the “party atmosphere” on board the ships made it easy for romance to blossom between crew members. They explained how after long days at work, crew members would often socialize and drink together in the evenings. This could lead to flirting and eventually more intimate relationships between coworkers.

Another former employee spoke of how “hook ups” were not only common among crew members but also between crew members and passengers. They said that due to long working hours, some crew members would take advantage of their free time and flirt with passengers they found attractive. Although they noted that this was not encouraged by their employers and could potentially lead to disciplinary action if caught by a supervisor.

Finally, another former worker revealed how they had seen many instances of couples meeting on board a ship, forming relationships during their time at sea, and then going their separate ways once docked back in port. This was especially true for foreign-based crews who would stay on board for multiple months at a time before returning home for vacation or extended leave periods.

From these accounts, it seems clear that cruise ship workers do indeed hook up with each other as well as with passengers from time to time. However, it should also be noted that this type of behavior is generally frowned upon by employers and can lead to disciplinary action if caught in the act.

Conclusion:
It appears from anecdotal accounts that cruise ship workers do indeed hook up with each other as well as with passengers from time to time, although this type of behavior is generally discouraged by employers and can lead to disciplinary action if caught in the act.
