Hi guys,
I have just been given my first sea appointment, which is working on a condor ferry between portsmouth, jersey & gernsey. I was expecting to be deep sea so I have come a bit unstuck. Just a few things I hope someone can clear up (I have never been to sea before and I don't know a lot)...
- Are ferries normally UMS or watchkeeping?
- What are the crew facilities like? I can't imagine there being much to do on a ferry as oppose to a bigger vessel? Is there a gym etc. ?
- How often will you leave the ferry? (I was hoping to be deep sea to save a bit of money!)
- What are the cabins like? will I most likely be sharing with another cadet?
I would be really grateful if someone could clear these things up for me !
Cheers!
