I'm a cruise worker – we get unbelievable perks & even free presents from guests | The Sun

A CRUISE entertainer has revealed the great perks given to staff, while giving a tour of her cabin and the rest of the ship.

Karissa, who is known as Karissaeats on TikTok, is a singer who spends her days playing games with guests, performing evening shows and eating local food when the ship is docked.


In a series of videos, Karissa explained what her life is like onboard, including a tour of her officer's cabin and backstage areas.

She said: "So I currently live and work on a 6-star luxury cruise ship – we literally have two Picassos on board.

"I also get to live in an officer's cabin, which is honestly pretty roomy.

"I've got a decent sized TV,a chair, an Ottoman, and of course I have a life jacket in case of an emergency."

In her room, Karissa also has a large closet, a small ensuite bathroom, a mini fridge, a floor length mirror, plenty of hooks, and a clothes line.

As well as being able to dry her clothes in her bathroom, Karissa is able to have her laundry valeted.

This is because she wears a lot of "nice dresses" for her evening performances.

In addition to the free laundry service, cruise ship workers are eligible for other free perks too, including free meals in the mess hall.

Thecruise ship singer also revealed how she spent an evening with the penthouse guests after being invited to a private party.

She said: "So we went up their suite, it's the one with the big Picasso paintings out the front, and it's gorgeous."

She revealed how penthouse guests have their own bar and butlers.

The penthouse guests then escorted Karissa and her colleagues to their private restaurant called the Study – where penthouse guests can order from any menu on the ship.
