QUESTION 3 OF 30

In this role, you will be traveling for three months on, and two weeks off. How will you manage this with your personal life?

As a cruise ship member, your schedule could be a few weeks at sea, up to a few months at a time. Before Norwegian Cruise Line hires you, they need to be sure that you can handle the schedule without it affecting your personal or family life. Briefly touch on the ways that you have prepared your family and friends for the potential change. Let the interviewer know that you are ready to set sail!

"I have already prepared my family for the fact that I may be away for a few months at a time. They are very excited for me and think this will be an unforgettable experience. I am not new to travel so being away from home will not be an issue for me, regarding homesickness, for instance."

"I have already lined up care for my dog, and a temporary housemate to help me with the cost of rent, and home maintenance while I am away. This opportunity is a great one for me and those who matter the most, fully understand how important it is that I succeed and feel supported. Everyone is doing their part to make it work."

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Stephanie's Feedback

From this response, it definitely sounds like you are well-prepared for this type of schedule, and you've given thought to how you would navigate your personal life alongside the requirements of the job. My only suggestion is perhaps adding a sentence to close out the response. For example: "I am well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities that this unique schedule would provide."
