Hi Lee

I was talking to a previous crew member called charlotte who disembarked at Liverpool and she said these ships sail 24 hours a day and split into 3 watches of around 15 people in each watch but I never got to ask her how long do you have to stay on a watch and how much time do you get for sleep ?
Anyway have a good time and look out for any dolphins seeing as you are on watch so please keep in touch with the likes of me who are to old to be a member of the crew,bye for now.
