<\/p>\nA cruise ship worker has opened up about the secret areas onboard ships that guests aren't allowed to visit.<\/p>\n
Ezra Freeman works as an entertainer onboard cruises, appeared on TV show The Real Love Boat, and has amassed a huge following on both Instagram and Tiktok.<\/p>\n
The New York resident loves her job and making connections with the passengers, but finds there's times when she can't carry out their requests – for example when they want to sneak into the 'staff only' bar. <\/p>\n
"A lot of times guests want to see crew cabins or go to the crew bar… I can understand why they'd want to see it — the crew bar is amazing!" Ezra told The Daily Star. "All drinks are under $2 [approximately \u00a31.65]! But we earned that privilege!"<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Happily the cheap and plentiful drinks onboard the ships don't tend to end in anything more serious than a hangover.<\/p>\n
Ezra continued: "Knock on wood, I have never been onboard during a man overboard! Cruise ships are generally quite safe, honestly.<\/p>\n
"I always feel safer on ships than I do at home in New York City. I think the most dangerous part of the ship is the fact that drinks are so cheap at the crew bar."<\/p>\n
Ezra is also protective of the other areas designated for staff only, and making sure the "number one" staff rule is not broken.<\/p>\n
"As crew, we of course have our own little getaways," she continued.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
"We have a crew recreation room with ping pong and pool, we have a crew gym, we have a crew bar, we have crew dining areas, and of course our infamous crew cabins.<\/p>\n
"By the way, crew cabins are not as bad as people tend to think! We actually all love our little cozy shoebox cabins! But yes, number one rule on board – no fraternising with guests, so guests, so sorry, you will never see our crew cabins."<\/p>\n
When it comes to guests who have had a bit too much to drink, Ezra says there is a clear process in place.<\/p>\n
She explained: "If guests get too rowdy with the crew or with each other, they will be warned about their behaviour, and ultimately if they are a threat to the ship's safety or the crew or guests' wellbeing, yes they will be asked to leave." <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
However, she added that this "is extremely rare", explaining" "I have never personally seen it happen. But I really do appreciate that we have systems in place on board to protect everyone and that safety is taken so seriously.<\/p>\n
"Now, I was also on the TV show 'The Real Love Boat' filmed on a Princess cruise ship, and basically like many dating shows, if you didn't find love, you were thrown off the ship.<\/p>\n
"How harsh… No love, no cruise, and no buffet."<\/p>\n
