Carnival Cruise Line crew member Cassandra Stefanie Hawrylkiewicz uses her facebook page to show what life is like on cruise ships.
Hawrylkiewicz doesn't actually work for Carnival Cruise Line. She is an employee of Park West, the company that runs the art galleries and auctions on the ships of Carnival and almost every other major cruise line.

Working as a gallery director, Cass Stefanie, as she abbreviates her name on social media, has held multiple contracts at both Carnival and Princess. She is part of the team that holds art auctions on board, but although she is not a Carnival employee, she is considered a crew member.
As an art gallery worker, she has free time during the day on port days. Along with her Park West team, Cass Stefanie is able to get off the ship more often than most crew members. But as a crew member, he lives in a crew cabin.
That means you can eat in the crew cafeteria/dining room. This is essentially a buffet that is part of the crew-only area, where three meals are served to the crew, as well as some evening options for workers who work until dinner.
She showed off the team's mess in a recent video along with some of her favorite dining options there.
What Carnival Cruise Line Crew Members Eat
Transcription:
Have you ever wondered where and what the crew eats on cruise ships? Come have breakfast with me. Always a designated area for gastronomy and a station for hygiene. I have been pleasantly surprised by the options.
There are always fruits, some delicious pastries, types of proteins, carbohydrates, cheeses and cold cuts to keep you going until lunch. They also have the best cereal options. I love Froot Loops. But my go-to in the morning is oatmeal.
The staff dining room is spacious. You can even watch sports if that's your thing. Many comfortable sofas and many tables.
The last thing is the coffee machine. I find cappuccinos quite weak, so I always double the espresso afterwards. I couldn't last six months without this bad boy.

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, so even on port days, I get up early so I don't miss it. My last ship didn't have grapefruit. It's pretty much what I start my morning with every day. So juicy, so healthy and so fresh.
For each meal, we have designated areas to store dirty dishes to make it easier for our cleaning team.
