Hello, everyone.
2
Welcome and welcome back to the channel.
3
This is Jun -Ray and you are watching
4
Crew Ship PH.
5
For this video, as you can see from the title, we are going to talk about a crew miss attendant.
6
I'm sorry.
7
So you're going to know what is it or what is crew miss attendant?
8
What are the duties of a crew miss attendant?
9
The operation itself within the crew miss area
10
and the hours of duty as a crew miss attendant
11
and your career path or where are you going as you get promoted from being a crew miss attendant.
12
And as well as in the last part, we are going to talk about the salary.
13
Okay.
14
So if you are ready, let's begin.
15
Okay.
16
So now we are going to talk about what is a crew mess attendant.
17
Okay.
18
So what exactly does a crew mess attendant do?
19
So simply put, this person is in charge of the crew mess or the crew mess area.
20
And crew mess is the dining area for all the crew members on a cruise ship.
21
They make sure that the foods or the meals are served on time, the crew mess area is clean and organized,
22
and everything is well -taught.
23
You're basically keeping all the crew on board energized and ready for the shifts.
24
So that is all about crew mess attendant.
25
Now, let's go to the daily responsibilities.
26
Okay, so a typical day for a crew mess attendant includes, one, setting up stations for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
27
And sometimes, some ships, they actually have snack time, and also, or we call it tea time,
28
and as well as late dinner.
29
For that, we're going to talk about that later on.
30
Okay, for now, we are going to continue with the responsibilities.
31
Okay, so number one is you are going to clean tables, trays, and utensils after meals.
32
Okay, so these are the responsibilities of a crew mess attendant.
33
Now, there are different roles or tasks that would be assigned to you as a crew mess attendant.
34
First is you are going to be a lineman or a buffet lineman or the person who is behind the food line.
35
So what you're going to do is you are going to set up during the opening or before the opening,
36
you are going to set up the buffet line.
37
So you're going to take the food from the galley or the kitchen of the crew mess to the buffet line.
38
So usually it's either the chef already prepared the food in the container or in the pot.
39
So you are just going to take it and bring it directly in the line.
40
And sometimes if the chef is really busy, you are going to put the food in the pan itself.
41
So you're going to do that.
42
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.
43
And then you just have to pick it up and bring it to the buffet line.
44
And then after you set up the buffet line, you have to make sure,
45
by the way, that the buffet line or the food line is ready by the,
46
let's say, five or ten minutes before they will open the buffet line.
47
Sometimes the crew members are already there waiting in a dining area or lining up near the buffet line before you open.
48
So working as a crew mess attendant, especially when you work behind the line, you really have to be fast.
49
Okay, so that is one.
50
And then your second role as a crew mess attendant, okay, some people are assigned as a dining man.
51
So what you're going to do as a dining man is you are going to take care of the whole dining area.
52
Now, you do not bust out or you do not remove plates.
53
You do not bring plates to the dishwashing area.
54
No, you don't do that.
55
So it's the crew who is responsible for their own plates.
56
They're going to bring it to the dishwasher area if they are already finished with their food.
57
So what you're going to just do is you're just going
58
to wipe the tables every time the crew members leave the table.
59
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.
60
That's it.
61
And then you're also going to organize or arrange the chairs accordingly.
62
So that is one.
63
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.
64
You have to mop.
65
And at the same time after or when it's already closing time, you're going to do the same.
66
You're going to sanitize the tables.
67
You're going to sweep the floor and also mop the floor.
68
Okay.
69
So that is your responsibility as a dining man.
70
Okay.
71
Now, the second, no, not responsibility, but second task.
72
So each of this person within your shift, that is what you're going to do.
73
And then the next, the third person is you could be a beverage man or a beverage station.
74
attendant.
75
So what you're going to do here is you're going to keep the beverage station clean and organized and well -taught.
76
So here you're going to refill the coffee if it's already running out.
77
You're going to refill the juices dispenser if it's already running out.
78
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.
79
So you are in charge of the whole beverage station.
80
So during opening, you have to stock it all up.
81
You have to make sure that your station, beverage station, is well stocked and ready for the operation.
82
And during closing time, you also have to remove whatever that is needed to be removed, especially when you talk about milk,
83
cold milk, and hot milk.
84
So because the holding time for cold milk and hot milk is only four hours.
85
So if it's already four hours, you have to throw away or discard the milk.
86
In some ships, they are very strict.
87
You have to monitor the temperature of the milk
88
and the cold milk and you have to lug it
89
so it depends on the ship so
90
that is your responsibility as a beverage man okay
91
or beverage station man and then the fourth person
92
or yeah your other your possible responsibility as a crewman's attendant during your shift
93
you could also be a cutlery's cutlery no polishing polishing team you are in the polishing team
94
so here what you're going to do is you're going to
95
stay inside the dishwasher area where you are going to polish the cutlery is okay the spoon the forks
96
and knives so that is your main responsibility after the galley attendant um clean
97
or washed the cutleries then you have to wipe it make it you have to polish it
98
and then you have to polish it and then so
99
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,
242
please feel free to give a comment or leave a comment.
243
I'm sorry if I had to speak for all my Filipinos, the followers.
244

245
because a lot of the supporters here
246
or our friends here are requesting to speak in English so that they can also understand.
247
Like friends from India, from Indonesia and some Asian countries and also Spanish -speaking countries.
248

249
And, yes, thank you very much for watching and I hope,
250

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
