Crew Cabin Tour On A Maersk Cargo Ship | Life At Sea
Life At Sea In The Merchant Marine Aboard A Cargo Ship
Ever wondered what crew member's cabin looks like on a cargo Ship?
Tour a crew cabin board a Maersk container ship / cargo ship. Junior officers and unlicensed crew members have similar rooms on this ship, just on different decks. Senior Officers and the Chief Steward have larger rooms with adjoining offices that create much more living space.

I lived on an aircraft carrier for 3 years a long time ago. I was curious about cargo ship accommodations, so I looked up and just watched several. I want to thank you for doing an excellent job. You went slow, paused the camera when necessary and explained what I was seeing. Amazingly there are other vids with a lot more views that did not do any of this. Also, thank you for not overdubbing your video with useless, loud, goddamn, MF music. I do not understand why people feel the need to ruin real life videos with MF music. Excellent job!! 10/10 BZ!

In all honesty, I completely agree with you about the music. 99% of the time, it’s music a cannot stand. But even if it was music I love, it would certainly be music someone else wouldn’t like. I get the need for music in certain types of videos. But for stuff like this, you’re totally right - unnecessary. We’re here to learn something. Just speak clearly and focus on why you made the video (why we’re here) and everything will turn out quality. This guy makes some really informative videos and I really appreciate it. There’s a couple other guys that I also think make some damn fine videos on the subject. They use a little music every now and then, but I don’t think it detracts from the quality. You might want to check out Joe Franta and Northwest Sailor.
This has me wanting to book a cargo ship and NOT a cruise ship. Very good video. Thank you.

Even this isn’t as good as a Matson ship, especially the new ones like the Lurline or Matsonia. When I was on there last year we had an amazing Steward department and had the most perfect Pho once a week, and the food was legitimately better than anything else I had on a ship before. Matson does everything better.

If people realize the product they get are on ships and what it takes to get to them. They may take inconsideration of what it entails. Fascinating and humbling of where these people are, how they work, and the fact it is not that easy. I watched one of your videos that went from top to bottom and all that it entails. To imagine all that work put into building that ship and everything fits together to do the job it needs to do. Thank you.

Actually quite a bit of room. You also get a pretty nice couch and an arm chair. Lot better than what a Navy Sailor usually gets.
I spent nineteen years at sea and never had a cabin so spacious and with a fridge and a comfy sofa. 😏
Would be also cool to see what kind are the senior position people's cabins like.
Good video, will be more intersting to show more places in the cargo ship. Also good that there is no music.

You will find pieces of paper or cardboard in cracks all over the ship! It’s nice to have a cabin that has been “soundproofed” over the years. The fridge is strapped down too
I imagine you all stand watches like we did in the navy probably two in ops and two in engineering? No going out on deck at night or heavy sea state. I didn't see anything to seal the fridge shut so it looks like the ship does not tilt too much?
Thank you for the cabin tour .. very nice 🙂.. btw i want to ask about the handphone. May the crews and captain use the handphone for video call to family and friends ? is the ship cargo have the wifi too ? Hope for the other tour on ship, sir

Thanks for sharing. One question is I would think there should be air conditioning and therefore having a fan should not be necessary.
@BryanBoyle
3 жыл бұрын
We do have central AC and heating. The engineers determine when the AC or heating is turned on but each cabin has an overhead damper to regulate cabin temperature. Unfortunately, as these ships are starting to get a bit older, there are issues with the damper functionality so most cabins also have fans to help keep some air flow.

Basic but so much more room than a cruise ship cabin. If your staff you can have two or three to a cabin half the size of that. I’d much rather sail on a container ship any day to a cruise ship because you have so much room in your own personal cabins.
