Hello, everyone.

Welcome and welcome back to the channel.

This is Jun -Ray and you are watching

Crew Ship PH.

For this video, as you can see from the title, we are going to talk about a crew miss attendant.

I'm sorry.

So you're going to know what is it or what is crew miss attendant?

What are the duties of a crew miss attendant?

The operation itself within the crew miss area

and the hours of duty as a crew miss attendant

and your career path or where are you going as you get promoted from being a crew miss attendant.

And as well as in the last part, we are going to talk about the salary.

Okay.

So if you are ready, let's begin.

Okay.

So now we are going to talk about what is a crew mess attendant.

Okay.

So what exactly does a crew mess attendant do?

So simply put, this person is in charge of the crew mess or the crew mess area.

And crew mess is the dining area for all the crew members on a cruise ship.

They make sure that the foods or the meals are served on time, the crew mess area is clean and organized,

and everything is well -taught.

You're basically keeping all the crew on board energized and ready for the shifts.

So that is all about crew mess attendant.

Now, let's go to the daily responsibilities.

Okay, so a typical day for a crew mess attendant includes, one, setting up stations for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

And sometimes, some ships, they actually have snack time, and also, or we call it tea time,

and as well as late dinner.

For that, we're going to talk about that later on.

Okay, for now, we are going to continue with the responsibilities.

Okay, so number one is you are going to clean tables, trays, and utensils after meals.

Okay, so these are the responsibilities of a crew mess attendant.

Now, there are different roles or tasks that would be assigned to you as a crew mess attendant.

First is you are going to be a lineman or a buffet lineman or the person who is behind the food line.

So what you're going to do is you are going to set up during the opening or before the opening,

you are going to set up the buffet line.

So you're going to take the food from the galley or the kitchen of the crew mess to the buffet line.

So usually it's either the chef already prepared the food in the container or in the pot.

So you are just going to take it and bring it directly in the line.

And sometimes if the chef is really busy, you are going to put the food in the pan itself.

So you're going to do that.

But usually if it's the opening or before you open the crew mess, it's always the chef who puts the food in the pan.

And then you just have to pick it up and bring it to the buffet line.

And then after you set up the buffet line, you have to make sure,

by the way, that the buffet line or the food line is ready by the,

let's say, five or ten minutes before they will open the buffet line.

Sometimes the crew members are already there waiting in a dining area or lining up near the buffet line before you open.

So working as a crew mess attendant, especially when you work behind the line, you really have to be fast.

Okay, so that is one.

And then your second role as a crew mess attendant, okay, some people are assigned as a dining man.

So what you're going to do as a dining man is you are going to take care of the whole dining area.

Now, you do not bust out or you do not remove plates.

You do not bring plates to the dishwashing area.

No, you don't do that.

So it's the crew who is responsible for their own plates.

They're going to bring it to the dishwasher area if they are already finished with their food.

So what you're going to just do is you're just going

to wipe the tables every time the crew members leave the table.

Or if there's an empty table and if you see there are crumbs on the tabletops, then you're going to wipe it and sanitize it.

That's it.

And then you're also going to organize or arrange the chairs accordingly.

So that is one.

And aside from that, before opening time, if you are assigned in a dining area, then you have to make sure that the floor is clean.

You have to mop.

And at the same time after or when it's already closing time, you're going to do the same.

You're going to sanitize the tables.

You're going to sweep the floor and also mop the floor.

Okay.

So that is your responsibility as a dining man.

Okay.

Now, the second, no, not responsibility, but second task.

So each of this person within your shift, that is what you're going to do.

And then the next, the third person is you could be a beverage man or a beverage station.

attendant.

So what you're going to do here is you're going to keep the beverage station clean and organized and well -taught.

So here you're going to refill the coffee if it's already running out.

You're going to refill the juices dispenser if it's already running out.

You're going to refill the tea bags, the coffee, the coffee sachets, the sugar, all the things that's needed for coffee, for juices.

So you are in charge of the whole beverage station.

So during opening, you have to stock it all up.

You have to make sure that your station, beverage station, is well stocked and ready for the operation.

And during closing time, you also have to remove whatever that is needed to be removed, especially when you talk about milk,

cold milk, and hot milk.

So because the holding time for cold milk and hot milk is only four hours.

So if it's already four hours, you have to throw away or discard the milk.

In some ships, they are very strict.

You have to monitor the temperature of the milk

and the cold milk and you have to lug it

so it depends on the ship so

that is your responsibility as a beverage man okay

or beverage station man and then the fourth person

or yeah your other your possible responsibility as a crewman's attendant during your shift

you could also be a cutlery's cutlery no polishing polishing team you are in the polishing team

so here what you're going to do is you're going to

stay inside the dishwasher area where you are going to polish the cutlery is okay the spoon the forks

and knives so that is your main responsibility after the galley attendant um clean

or washed the cutleries then you have to wipe it make it you have to polish it

and then you have to polish it and then so

that the buffet line or either you

100

or the man behind the buffet uh buffet line

101

or the food line will bring it to the um buffet food or food line, sorry, food line whenever the cutleries are already running out.

102

So that is your sole responsibility.

103

Now, next, so you could also be assigned as a plate runner.

104

So what does a plate runner do?

105

So a plate runner is responsible in stacking up or making sure

106

that the plates in the buffet line or in the food line is well stocked.

107

OK, so, you know, a typical situation when it's really when it's really busy time or peak hour, peak hours, plates runs out really fast.

108

So you have to make sure

109

that the plates are there are enough plates for the crew members to use during that eating time or the meal time.

110

So that is your responsibility.

111

You're going to use trolley for that.

112

Okay, not only, though not only plates, also bowls, yeah, bowls, small plates for desserts,

113

and also sometimes glasses or cups.

114

So that is one of your assignments as a crew mess attendant.

115

Okay, and then the last one is the food runner.

116

Okay, so the food runner, they basically are in charge of picking up the food from the main kitchen

117

or from the main galley to the crew mess galley.

118

Okay, so this is because not all food can be prepared inside the crew mess

119

because crew mess kitchen or galley is not that really big.

120

So sometimes the preparation also, preparations also are done in the main galley in the restaurant.

121

So if you are a food runner, you have to go up to the main galley,

122

either it's in deck five or fifth floor or sixth floor.

123

So you have to pick up the food there.

124

You have to coordinate with the chef.

125

You have to ask the chef which one is for the crew mess

126

because there are also food runners that is assigned in the buffet.

127

So you have to make sure that you have to ask the chef

128

if this food is for the crew mess or not, okay?

129

So that is your responsibility as a food runner.

130

So those are one, two,

131

three, four, five, six, six possible assignments for you to do during your shift as a crew mess attendant.

132

Now, it doesn't mean that for all of your contract, you're going to be a dining man for the entire duration of your contract.

133

So it changes from shift to shift.

134

And it depends on your supervisor what will be your assignment for that particular shift.

135

So it could be during breakfast, you will be in the dining.

136

And it could be for lunch, you will be in the cutleries or in the polishing team.

137

So it's not fixed.

138

So yeah, it's not fixed.

139

And then now, so that's it for the duties as a crew mess.

140

So now let's go to the next part.

141

Let's talk about mess operation.

142

Okay, so sometimes, this actually depends on the ship, sometimes a crew mess comes in three or four different restaurants.

143

Okay, so in the previous ship that I was on, we have Asian cuisine, we have

144

Western or American cuisine, and we have Mediterranean cuisine.

145

So it's all inside the crew mess area, but there.. are different dining tables and buffet lines for that

146

so this buffet line or food line is for american food

147

and then on the other side this food line is for mediterranean food

148

and the other line is for mexican food and all

149

so you can eat wherever you want you can take food wherever

150

cuisine you would like to or or anyone young film now in

151

that particular um um meal time so no one can stop you

152

if you want to eat in the and you can take

153

if you want to take food from the American cuisine

154

or from the Asian cuisine so yes nobody will stop you

155

and also some ships they have um a crew mess for the crew

156

and then there is also mess for the staff

157

and officers of the ship

158

that includes the um the the the um the chief engineer you know the high level

159

or the top management crew on board the ship.

160

It could be the captain, the staff manager, staff captain, and the supervisors and managers.

161

Now it depends on the ship.

162

So there are ships that has exclusive area for the top management.

163

So yeah, it depends.

164

So you cannot go there.

165

You cannot take food there because it is exclusive for them.

166

And crew mess attendant provides service for them.

167

It's not self -service as compared to in the general crew mess area.

168

Okay, so as mentioned earlier, still part of crew mess operation, crew mess operates from breakfast, snack time or tea time in the morning,

169

and then lunch, and then late lunch, and then tea time in the afternoon, dinner, and then late dinner.

170

So as early as 5 .30 or 6, the crew mess is already open.

171

So usually if you are a crew mess attendant your shift starts either 5

172

or 5 30 for the operation usually there is one hour um allocated time before the opening to prepare everything

173

so yeah and yeah date dinner

174

so you as a crew mess attendant

175

you will be divided within those shifts okay sometimes yeah basically you're 11 hours yeah okay later for

176

that so that is the operation in the crew mess, okay, crew mess operation.

177

Okay, so now let's go to the fourth part of our vlog.

178

Okay, let's talk about hours, okay, daily hours.

179

So now your schedule as a crew mess attendant.

180

So just like everyone else, a crew mess attendant should come on duty for 11 hours a day.

181

So this is based on my, from my previous ship, okay.

182

So it depends on which ship you are going to go or what company, okay.

183

So but I'm just going to base it from my previous one.

184

So 11 hours a day.

185

So it is, It is divided into three shifts.

186

So either you will work morning or breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

187

And some people will work during snack time or tea time, morning tea time, afternoon tea time, and a late dinner.

188

So it all depends.

189

So that is the hours of duty as a crewman.

190

Sometimes if your manager or supervisor is generous enough, he or she will give you lunch off.

191

So if you work breakfast, lunch, and dinner, sometimes you can enjoy lunch off.

192

So you don't need to go for duty for that show.

193

So you can go outside the port and enjoy.

194

So that would be a rotation for everybody in the crew mess.

195

Okay, that's it for number four.

196

Now let's go to five.

197

Okay, so what is your career path?

198

Okay, so here is the exciting part.

199

Okay, so your career path as a crew mess attendant is, you know, from being a crew mess attendant,

200

you could be promoted as a buffet attendant or a snacks teward.

201

And sometimes the managers or management will promote you from crewmask attendant straight to assistant waiter.

202

So it actually depends on the management, the supervisor, and the maitre d.

203

So that is your destination.

204

From being a crewmask, it's either you will go up

205

or you will be promoted to being buffet attendant

206

or snack steward in other ship or you could also be promoted straight to being an assistant waiter.

207

Now, if you don't like to work in the dining or in the restaurant, then you could also be promoted or you can request your supervisor.

208

It depends if he is flexible or if he or she will allow.

209

You can also work in the galley or in the kitchen as a cook.

210

So from being a crewman's attendant to promoting as a cook.

211

I'm not sure which one or what is the first starting career as a cook, But yeah, it is possible to be promoted as a cook.

212

Or if you want, you can also be promoted in the housekeeping.

213

So if your manager or management is generous enough or kind enough, then you could also choose to be promoted in the housekeeping department.

214

Now, housekeeping department, I'm not sure if which

215

or what is going to be your next position from being a crewmist but most likely you will work as a...

216

guest area, how do you call them?

217

Guest area steward.

218

So these are your main role if you work in the housekeeping guest area is

219

that you will clean all public areas all over the ship within the guest area.

220

So it could be you will could clean the floor all over the bar.

221

So in all you could be assigned in all areas in the ship where a guest has access to.

222

So that could be possible promotion for you if you want to be promoted in the housekeeping department.

223

Because in the housekeeping department, there are two starting careers there.

224

So you could be a steward in the crew area or steward in the guest area.

225

So that is their first role when you are in the housekeeping department, though I'm not sure about that.

226

Okay, but these are just possibilities.

227

Okay, so that's it for your career path as a crewmist attendant, if ever you will be promoted.

228

Now we are down to our last part of our vlog.

229

Okay, this is already quite long.

230

We are now, we are going to talk about salary.

231

Okay, yay.

232

So the salary as a crewmist attendant, again, I'm going to base this from my previous ship or from my previous company.

233

Okay, so the salary as a crewmist attendant ranges from $800 to $1 ,000.

234

Okay, so it depends on the company.

235

It depends on the agency, and it depends on sometimes the nationality.

236

Okay.

237

So that is already, for Filipinos, it's already good enough salary if you're going to start a career on the ship.

238

Okay.

239

So that's it for this video.

240

I hope you learned a lot from about crew mess attendant.

241

And if you have questions for clarifications and suggestions of a topic that you want us to discuss, or to, yes, to discuss,

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
