Default Get in contact with a worker on a cruise ship

I was on the Grand Princess 2 weeks ago and i was wondering if there was a way to re-connect with a worker on that ship. He took a lot of pride in his job and I saw him every day, working hard. I wanted to give him my email address but waited till the end and then I didn't see him...figures. I only know his first name, but I know where he's from and were he normally works. Can anyone help?.

The only way I know of is to contact the cruise line and ask the procedure for contacting an employee at sea.

Take care,
Mike

You may possibly post this in the "Crew" section here at Cruisemates, just in case he reads our boards...

You could also check, on the "meet onboard" forum, if someone sailing on the ship soon, might pass along the message for you..worth a shot...

Hi, Con2010, I really hate to "burst your bubble", but there's probably no way to contact this young man. I'm just trying to be honest with you and not get your hope's up . If he had wanted to keep in contact with you he would have given you his email.

As you cruise more, you'll find that the people who work on board ships are very nice, but are really not interested in any "hookup's". Most of the young men are married, have children and are sending their $$ home. If you do happen to re-connect, find him and enjoy a relationship, please let us know!

I must say that there was once a young lady who posted here on CM's and married a young man who was working on a cruise ship . It was the only time I ever saw this kind of connection.

Thanks Fern for your words of wisdom. You're probably right, but I really didn't give him a chance to give me his email. I was always with someone. He would always look and stare at me and he was always smiling, maybe he thought I was with someone. I was with another girl and 2 guys. I really wanted to give him my email to keep in contact as a friend. I thought he was really nice and sweet. I'm a big fan of the saying "too have no regret's". At least I know I've tried, so now I dont have to look back and say....I wish I had.

Thanks Fern,

Con

The only other possible way is to send snail mail to the cruise line, with his name, position (i.e. waiter), and ship at the bottom left of the envelope.
Good luck, but not likely, as the others have said.

So i just came from a cruise and i really connected with a worker their that even on the debarkation day he waved bye. The worked on the photo section i has really sad cause then i realized that i could of gave him something to contact me by
I didnt get his name. And i kinda assumed he was probably marriend cause he look like he was in his early 30's im so sad that im most likely never going to see or talk to hin again

Just in case this worker visits the boards here at Cruisemates, you may want to post this in the crewmembers forum:

Crewmembers

Best of luck.
