Pozdrav moreplovci! (Izvinjavam se ako je pitanje već postavljeno jer nisam našao konkretan post.)
Posle pauze od 4-5 godina razmišljam da se vraćam na more.
Interesuje me pored ostalih peripetija oko medikala, šta je još potrebno od medicinske dokumentacije što se tiče COVID-a? Da li mora vakcinacija, revakcinacija i busteri?

Evo da javim iz prve ruke, nadam se da će ovo biti dobra vest za mnoge.

Juče mi je stigao kolega Srbin. Prijavio se preko EP i dobio posao kao Broadcast Technician.

Po onome što sam čuo lično od lika iz ofisa u Majamiju koji je bio na brodu prošle nedelje, otvoreno je za Srbe za "specifične pozicije" tj. tehničare i pozicije koje se ređe traže, očigledno za sada isključujući restoran i bar.

Pozdrav!  :)

Pozdrav, ljudi!
Nije me bilo odavno. Setim se po koji put da napisem iskustva sa sada vec 3 prethodna ugovora, ali nikako da nadjem dovoljno vremena, jer zelim da vam opisem sve sto je detaljnije moguce, kao sto sam to radio i u drugim svojim postovima.

Celokupno iskustvo kao Stage Staff mogu podeliti po sledecim stavkama:

ŠTA JE STAGE STAFF!?!?

Prvo i najbitnije - PLATA : 1450$, dva puta mesečno po 725$ i dobija se + 92$ mesecno (tj. 2x 46$ na svake dve nedelje) Vacation Pay koji se akumulira i isplaćuje na kraju ugovora pred odlazak kući.
Brojnost Stage Staff tima zavisi od veličie broda.
Na Briliance Of The Seas nas je bilo 4 (head Stage i 3 stage staffa) - Radiance, inače klasa manjih brodova, je prva klasa od koje se Stage Staff tretira kao "Technical Stage Staff" i dobija fazoznih 1150$ + 300$
Na Exploreru i Independenceu nas je bilo ukupno po 7 (Voyager i Freedom klasa) iako je drugi veci u pitanju je ista konstrukcija broda samo je Freedom Klasi dodat središnji deo dužine oko 20m.


Stage staff je tehnicka pozicija radnika/tehnicara u teatru koji se bave postavkama na pozornici u teatru kao i po drugim delovima broda i nalayi se u sklopu Cruise Divizije.
Cruise divizija je tim od 100+ ljudi (zavisno od velicine broda) na čelu sa Cruise Direktorom (CD).
Cruise Direktorova desna ruka je Activities Manager.
Supervizor za Stage Staff je Production Manager (PM) a direktni (immediate) supervizor je Head Stage Staff (privremena pozicija, obicno je dobijaju iskusniji stafferi)


- Po dolasku na brod - Sta se desava prvih par dana/ nedelja
Na ulazu u brod, popularnom "Gangway-u" te ceka PM , Head Stage Staff  ili neko ko je odredjen iz Cruise Divizije.
Razgledate brod, pokaze ti gde je kantina (mes) training room za predstojece treninge, kabina, HR ofis gde pokupljas ID karticu, kljuc od sobe, emergency card (kartica sa uputstvima i tvojim licnim bojem po kome se vodis u slucaju neke nezgode/uzbune/drila) itd...

- Dnevne obaveze:
Head stage staff svakog dana pravi raspored (schedule) za sutrašni dan u skladu sa Cruise Compasom (letak/raspored aktivnosti za goste u toku dana), primljenih mailova i PM-ovim instrukcijama.
U proseku se radi 4-6 sati dnevno, jedino što taj rad nije od jednom nego po više puta u toku dana. Tako se može desiti da odmor od 3-4 sata popodne morate da prekinete samo da biste odradili 5-15 minuta posla, možda odneti neki sto ili strajkovati (skloniti) bend pored bazena na pool decku.
Dakle, ne postoji fiksno radno vreme, kad ima posla, tada se radi. Kada nema, svima još bolje.
Dešavalo mi se da ponekad radim i više od 12 i 14 sati dnevno mada veoma retko, na drugoj strani mnogo češće se dešavalo da radim manje od 2 pa i od sat dnevno. Sve zavisi od Cruise Direktora i njegove organizacije posla, ali i od sposobnosti Head Stage Staffa da uklopi dobar raspored.

- Duznost
Na nekim brodovima deck phone ili kako bi ga preveli palubski telefon imaju svi tehničari i stage staff(Brilliance u mom slučaju), na nekima samo stage staff na dužnosti nosi dek fon (Explorer i Independence).
Dužina dužnosti takođe variraju, od 4 dana na BR i 7 dana na EX i ID, i u tom periodu osoba na dužnosti ne može na izlazi sa broda u lukama jer je "on call" osim ako ne nađe nekoga da je zameni.

U sledećoj epizodi gledaćete:  :D

- Cast Install
- Teatar
- Studio B
- Aqua Teatar
- Parade
- Tematske zurke za goste

Pozdrav!  :zen:

Ljudi, imam pitanje.

Zdravstvena knjizica mi nije overena i ne mogu da je overim naredna 3 meseca jer jos toliko nemam pravo da se prijavim na zavod.
Propustio sam da se prijavim na zavod pre 3 meseca i sad moram da cekam sa prijavom tako da se napravi pauza pola godine.

Dakle, sta da radim? Jel mora da bude overena knjizica ili ne jer se inace placaju testovi?
