Worst ship type and company to do cadet ship with?

[mikcle60]

I think you could be on the best ship in the world but if you have a crap crew then the type of ship doesn't really matter. I've sailed on 2 standby vessels first one chief eng was great as well as the the third, learned loads of them, the second vessel the chief wasn't interested so it was a waste of time. from a cadets point of view I would definitely say its down to the crew and not the vessel.

Sorry Alistair but I think you can see why I wanted my post to be anonymous.

I agree with you it does come down to the crew. But the quality of the crew is dependant on the company hiring them. The better companies will get the better crew and the worst ones will get whoever is left over. Also some companies obviously turn a blind eye to what their crews get up to, which is clearly not ok.
