Dear Crew Center Team,

I am writing to you as a concerned crew member working aboard the Grand Princess cruise ship. I wish to bring to your attention an issue affecting the well-being and rest of night shift workers like myself. I kindly request anonymity regarding this matter.

As night workers, we often finish our shifts between 4:00 and 5:00 a.m. On some occasions, our schedules are further impacted by time changes, such as an hour forward adjustment. This leaves us with very limited rest time usually about six hours before we need to prepare and step out of our cabins for crew rounds or inspections.

The disruption caused by these inspections is significantly affecting our ability to get adequate rest, which in turn impacts our health and performance. I have spoken to colleagues from other ships, and they mentioned being exempt from such inspections during their rest hours. Unfortunately, this is not the case on the Grand Princess. When I raised this concern with my manager, I was informed that there was nothing they could do to address it.

I strongly believe that crew inspections for night workers could be rescheduled to later in the afternoon or evening, with coordination from our managers, to ensure we are not disturbed during our critical rest hours. This small adjustment would demonstrate that the ship’s management values and prioritizes the well-being of its crew.

I hope this issue can be brought to the attention of the relevant authorities and that appropriate steps will be taken to address it. Thank you for your time and for considering this matter.

Sincerely,
Grand Princess Crew
