Cruise ships are literally floating hotels and passengers boarding on a cruise ship expect to live a dream.  Crew members are required to meet and exceed the expectations of their guests.  The Housekeeping department is always behind the scenes but makes the entire ship worth living or staying on. The housekeepers are very busy keeping the ship "ship shape." They have a big responsibility in ensuring that passengers live that dream by providing a high level of service, making sure that they have a clean and sparkling cabin and clean linen and towels throughout their stay. They also handle the laundry, which is an ongoing chore, and includes the washing of the crew uniforms.

Cruise ships are literally floating hotels and passengers boarding on a cruise ship expect to live a dream.  Crew members are required to meet and exceed the expectations of their guests.  Today every major cruise line outfits its ships with wondrous spa facilities that include salon and barber services, spa treatments (for women, men and, sometimes, even teens), thalassotherapy pools and thermal relaxation areas. Spas are so popular that prime-time appointments for treatments often fill up on embarkation day. Spa enthusiasts in the know frequently hit the reservation desk even before visiting the buffet or unpacking.
