Welcome to the CruiseVoices Crew Corner! Whether you're currently working on a cruise ship, you've finished contracts, or you're about to start your first voyage as crew — this space is for YOU.
To keep our crew forums authentic and trustworthy, we offer a Verified Crew badge that shows the community you're the real deal.
Who Can Get Verified?
- Current crew members — actively working on any cruise line
- Former crew members — completed at least one contract on any cruise ship
- Incoming crew — have a signed contract and confirmed embarkation date
How to Get Verified
It's simple — just send a Direct Message (DM) to @CVAdmin with the following:- Your cruise line(s) — which company you work/worked for
- Your department and position — e.g. "F&B - Head Waiter" or "Entertainment - Cruise Staff"
- Dates of service — approximate is fine (e.g. "March 2023 - November 2024")
- Proof of employment— ONE of the following:
- Photo of your crew ID card
- Photo of your seaman's book
- Screenshot of your contract or offer letter
- Photo of you in crew uniform on the ship
For incoming crew who haven't boarded yet: send your offer letter or contract confirmation with your embarkation date.
