    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are the contractual obligations for these positions?

    For those wishing to take crew positions, there will need to be some form of formality to the application, which may include:

    • Minimum contract length
    • Set hours (to fit with your schedule)

    Do I need to do any training to work as a crew member?

    There may be some requirements for training, depending on the role/duty, the contractual agreement and the class/flag rules. An example of this may include basic training to work at sea - a Safety Of Lives At Sea (SOLAS) requirement.

    Are there any excluded positions?

    Some positions will not be offered (such as housekeeping) for security and privacy reasons.

    Are there age limits?

    While we don’t set any age limits, there are regulations. We encourage younger residents to earn money and we have interest from some parents asking about such opportunities. This is an important part in any growing child's future to learn.

    What are the fees Storylines charges for conducting business?

    This will depend on the requirement of the request. For example a doctor needing to use space, reception services, lab work, etc may be charged higher amounts than a business consultant using a desk or ad hoc table in a dining room somewhere. Fees cover things such as liability, space, listing in the directory, etc.

    Can I work from the ship or run my business if it doesn’t involve other residents?

    Yes, private works and businesses that do not involve the ship or its passengers have no requirement to inform Storylines, so long as the business is legal.

    What if my role is both a crew and commercial position?

    We call this a Crossover position. Some positions may have a crossover in both areas. These will be taken case-by-case and attributed based on resident load for the service. Some examples of these types of positions may include a beautician or a personal trainer. The crew will have a personal trainer to cover some of the demand and included services, while a resident professional may cover other things not included (such as private one-on-one sessions and specialty programs delivered only by that resident). 

    *Any employment or contractor opportunities may be subject to approval by the International Labour Organization and the Bahamian authorities. Maritime employment regulation requirements for being a crew member of a ship may apply.
