Think some of you will come across jobs on cruises eg One degree 15 55-100 ft vessels. Just some tips :
1) Eat anti-seasick medication 1hr before sailing off. You might be doing tea-ceremony on board, and its gonna be ROUGH. I always take ferry to Indonesia and fly....all ok no issue no need medication at all. But it is rough even with medication, esp when you are concentrating on the job (eyes and brain on anti-shake turbo mode, but your cochlea stabilisers telling WTF man?!)
2) Bring windbreaker. Its gonna be real cold. Just now 22 deg C, plus windchill and drizzle, my North Face stuff I still felt a bit cold. In Taipei in 15 deg C environment I felt warm actually! :sweat: Prob also due to the fact you are out there for quite a while. (usually cruises vessels are booked for 4 hours as standard)
3) Bring Panadol, you will be having a heavy mind.
4) Do not undercharge. Trust me, bo hua one....
5) As advised, do not take it if you are susceptible to seasickness.
