1
- I work on a cruise ship, and probably the top perk of this job is getting to save a lot of the money that you make.
2
We have very limited expenses when we're here on board, so if you wanted to spend zero dollars, you could.
3
I don't do that though, so in this video, we're gonna see how much I spend on average in a week.
4
It is so windy out here.
5
But first, we need to talk about what I do and don't pay for here on board.
6
Thank you.
7
So the first thing that I don't pay for on board is my cabin.
8
And no, it does not get taken out of my paycheck.
9
Along with our cabin, we don't pay for things like water or electricity.
10
So we basically have no bills while we're on board.
11
Really, the only bills that you might have are the ones that you have back home.
12
- Because there's, 104 pods in here so 104 divided by like 30 is something and then
13
times we probably use like two to three pods per load
14
like once a week that's like actually I have no idea
15
maybe like 50 -ish cents a pod I don't know
16
but to be honest half of the machines are broken
17
so the laundry room is covered in water one of the
18
machines is missing it's actively overflowing yeah okay this is ship
19
life my biggest spending category I think is probably going to be food it's most definitely going to be food Yes,
20
the food on the ship is free in the crew mess and I do eat there most meals, but the rotation does get a little bit boring.
21
So about once a week, Robert and I will go to the specialty restaurants here on board.
22
We have a few options from Italian at Giovanni's, steak at chops, and sushi at Izumi.
23
which are all a little bit pricier, but then we have Playmaker, Sports Bar, and Johnny Rockets, which are a little bit cheaper.
24
So we thankfully do get a 20 % discount and sometimes even more if they're running a special, which I feel like they do pretty frequently.
25
I'd say I tend to spend about $50 a week.
26
At specialty restaurants, give or take.
27
That's an average.
28
When it comes to like snacks and drinks on board, we do have a crew bar and a slot chest.
29
You can get soda, alcohol, coffee, smoothies, snacks, and toiletries.
30
All of the things
31
that you might need to hold you over until you can get to like a bigger grocery store if needed.
32
I'm honestly not like a big snacker
33
so I'm never really coming to the slop chest
34
but I will occasionally come and get like a red bull
35
or a coke And I always buy water at the water sale once a week for $3.
36
And today I'm having a Red Bull because we have a show.
37
The tropical version.
38
is the best.
39
Oh, and really quick, an expense that I do save a lot of money on is alcohol.
40
I will not be drinking this before the show tonight.
41
I usually just get a bottle of rum from Crew Bar for about $10 and maybe a Coke, and I'll have a drink every once in a while.
42
If you do the math, a drink, if I make the drink myself, it comes up to like $1 .50.
43
But the drinks in Crew Bar are very cheap.
44
You can get like a margarita for $4, where on land it would be at least $10, depending where you are.
45
We also have a lot of crew parties here on board, where HR will provide free drinks and food.
46
Not always, but oftentimes they'll at least have beer and soda.
47
These parties usually have a really fun theme.
48
It just makes for a great night out, when you don't have to Uber, pay a cover fee, buy overpriced drinks, and then find a way home.
49
you and for cheap.
50
one big expense i save on while on board is a gym membership
51
they're actually required to do five gym hours per week to keep up our stamina and physique for the shows.
52
When I'm back home, I'll usually spend anywhere between 10 and $50 a month for a gym membership.
53
So it is really nice to have such a beautiful gym to use for free.
54
Okay, let's talk about what I'm pretty sure is most crew members' biggest expense on board.
55
Wi -Fi.
56
Wi -Fi on the ship costs $3 .99 per hour.
57
You can also purchase bigger packages and the more minutes that you buy, the less it becomes.
58
The crew also does get two free hours per week, but for many people that's just not enough and so it can really add up.
59
Except for for Robert.
60
Somehow he only uses those two free hours a week.
61
I don't know how he does it, but he does.
62
For me though, I use much more, but I actually don't pay for it.
63
I have a side job at the Wi -Fi desk.
64
So for one hour, I I will get 300 free minutes of wifi.
65
So I'll usually help with wifi one to two hours per week and get between three and 600 minutes of free internet.
66
So I am very thankful for my job at the wifi desk.
67
Now let's talk about what I spend off of the ship.
68
I am a little bit nervous.
69
so we are currently on two different seven -day itineraries in the caribbean
70
that alternate each week we visit places like saint thomas san juan the bahamas jamaica
71
and grand cayman most days of the week are spent grabbing lunch off of the ship
72
or visiting like a nearby beach which you wouldn't think would cost a lot
73
but the caribbean isn't as inexpensive as one might think
74
turnaround day in Fort Lauderdale and it's basically an errand day for us.
75
We usually take the $4 cruise shuttle to Publix to get things like almond milk for our coffees
76
and just whatever else we might need that week.
77
We'll also usually go to a coffee shop and get some food
78
and Wi -Fi to do things that the ship Wi -Fi might not be strong enough for.
79
and especially to download things for the upcoming week, like new music, podcasts, and Netflix.
80
Day two, we are always in Coco Cay, which is free for the crew.
81
You don't have to pay for any transportation on the island.
82
food or a beach chair.
83
There are some additional things that you can do, like there's the water park, snorkeling gear, and jet skis, but we never really do that, so we actually never spend any money here.
84
There have been many days on this contract where we also just don't get off the ship at all
85
and just have a day on board, but occasionally there's also an activity that we really want to do somewhere that's going to cost a little bit more.
86
So we'll get a bunch of the cast together to save on taxis and just have a fun day out.
87
Every once in a while, it's worth it to spend a little bit more to have a fun day out with the cast.
88
How do we think he's gonna do, guys?
89
Um, I think he might fall the first time.
90
Um, 20 seconds.
91
Oh!
92
Alright, good guess, good guess.
93
I am...
94
I am gonna do amazing at it.
95
Okay.
96
I'm actually really scared now.
97
Alright, what's your thoughts on Kyle?
98
Oh, not even two seconds.
99
- What the hell is it?
100
I went through some bank statements
101
and my onboard statement to see kind of the average of what I spend in a week
102
because it really is so different depending on the week.
103
It's never the same.
104
This week I have spent five dollars so far and we're on day six of the cruise.
105
So that's why I wanted to do an average
106
and not just like one simple week in my life because this week would have been very boring.
107
We were in Europe last year
108
and I actually did a video on what I spent in a week last year
109
and I'm not gonna lie the total between now and then I really thought it was going to be different.
110
For some reason I thought
111
that I would be spending way more in Europe than I was in the Caribbean because I got off
112
every single day in Europe.
113
I was eating, I was having a good time, I was going to all of these amazing historical places, doing tours, everything.
114
So I thought that I would be spending a lot more there.
115
And then after thinking about it, when you're in Europe, a lot of the things are really close to the port.
116
So you don't have to pay for a taxi to get a lot of places.
117
And if you do, there is public transportation that is very inexpensive.
118
And then when you get somewhere, it's relatively inexpensive.
119
I could get an Aperol Spritz for like $3 in Italy.
120
If I tried to get an Aperol Spritz here in the Caribbean somewhere, it would be $15, at least in most places, not everywhere.
121
A lot of the places
122
very touristy and so they are
123
just more expensive and so I really did not expect that
124
but I think I said this in the last video
125
that I made not having any expenses really back home and getting to save on like rent and housing.
126
and a lot of other things, I always am willing to spend a little bit more on experiences.
127
Anyway, I did want to say that in my last video that I did last year, My average while we were in Europe was $224 a week.
128
and - I really thought it was gonna be different here on this itinerary including onboard and off my average has been
129
about $200 really not that different from Europe when I feel like I was doing way more stuff
130
It's so interesting to see that but again, it is just an average it is definitely a Less than what we would spend if we were on land.
131
I don't know for some reason it's making me feel bad I'm, like oh, it's two hundred dollars too much.
132
I don't know.
133
Don't tell me don't tell me in the comments Don't make me feel bad about it Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this little glimpse into what I spend in a week.
134
Um, it's Such an interesting lifestyle to not have a lot of
135
regular expenses that many people do who don't work on cruise ships
136
and every once in a while I get a little nervous for the day
137
that I'm gonna have to start paying rent again
138
and live in a house and deal with all of those adulty things
139
that I haven't really had to pay for and deal with.
140
in a lot of my 20s.
141
It's such a weird...
142
concept.
143
I don't know.
144
I hope you guys enjoyed this video.
145
Please give it a thumbs up and subscribe if you haven't yet.
146

147

148

這段影片的口語練習目標
這段關於遊輪工作一週開銷的影片非常適合練習英語影子跟讀和日常口語流暢度。它的對話節奏自然，包含大量生活場景詞彙，能幫助你突破“描述日常開銷”這一實用口語 milestone。無論是準備雅思口語練習還是提升英語口語練習的真實感，都能通過模仿影片中的語氣、停頓和連讀，讓你的表達更像 native speaker。
實用短語庫
- top perk（最大的福利）
- limited expenses（有限的開支）
- give or take（大約）
- hold you over（撐到...時候）
- do the math（算一算）
這些短語在日常對話中高頻出現，比如描述工作福利、計算開銷時都能用到。試著用“shadow speech”法跟讀，注意“give or take”的輕讀和“do the math”的連讀，能讓你的口語更地道。
攻克發音與節奏難點
影片中很多句子包含弱讀和連讀，比如“it does not get taken out”中的“does not”弱讀為“doesn't”，“a bottle of rum”中的“of”弱讀為“əv”。這正是英語口語練習中容易忽略的細節。通過影子跟讀，你能逐漸掌握自然的語流節奏，避免每個單詞都重讀的生硬感。另外，“tropical version”的“tropical”發音（/ˈtrɒpɪkl/）需要注意重音在第一音節，多聽幾遍模仿，能有效提升發音準確性。
趕緊開啟影片，跟著“shadowspeaks”法練習吧！從短句開始，逐漸跟上整段對話，你會發現自己的口語流暢度和自然度都在悄悄提升。
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | have been · have spent · has been |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | are broken · is covered · are spent |
| 定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物 | Rockets, which are · Cay, which is |
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
