Cruise Ship English 2

More vocabulary for cruise ship employees — general English for on-board services and guest communication.

Vocabulary in context

Life at sea creates a very specific communication environment — one where the English used in the dining room is different from the English on the pool deck, which is different again from the English in the spa or the shore excursion desk. This exercise builds the broader cruise vocabulary that allows crew members to operate confidently across all of those contexts: the terms for onboard venues, activities, services, and the daily rhythms of a cruise ship that passengers quickly learn and start using as if they've been sailing all their lives. The more vocabulary you have, the more useful you are — not just in your primary role, but across the ship.
