On cruise ships the crew is multi-national. There are people from all areas of the globe. Countries from all 6 continents are represented. One of the most surprising statistics among nationalities is the lack of Americans as crew. I’m one of less than a dozen Americans in the ship’s company. With a crew of over 1,000, that means that Americans make up less than 1% of the crew.
There are American guest entertainers onboard, and they really boost our numbers, but they’re not members of the ship’s company.
Americans make up about 75% of the passengers.
It's pretty amazing to live amongst a multi-national community, with so many cultures aboard.
