No cannot

They are quite strict with swab timing . Or you can try to plead with them

is it... what if you stuck due to work etc.. i think they wont be that strict :s22: .. Or maybe late is ok and not that early i suppose.. But no harm trying if early abit i guess.

There are employ to work and not to enjoy like a guest :s13:

The older SDA like to chat with crew and guests. The younger 1s like to group.

what standard are this lol....

I have no issue about SDA is just that they are not pro at all. Nearly 90% of all guests are family in the same cabin. Can know how irritating if they come and split you and your wife or kids etc.

I think they need to work 8 hours per day, rest of the time can enjoy facilities like a normal guest.

After work is up to them they can do what they want.

Is you wear the SDA Polo and you must work correctly. Eyes are watching them also in how they perform their job.

I dont think they can enjoy the facilities? Cos need booking even for pool and DC can know. They wont go spa too or gym lol so what can they enjoy? Casino? they earn 100 per day also cannot cover like that.. Maybe they can play the chess or basketball lol

Some of these SDA could be air steward/stewardess before. Probably they were trying to mingle with the ship crew to exchange info on how to improve customer service standard and experience. It's like those who took on to become Hospital patient care to learn about medical care stuffs. Who know maybe one day they may join up as ship crew to serve permanently onboard. :D

What they need is extra training to better differentiate between family and non-family group.

The famous quote 'Do it but don't get caught'. :D

As long as they don't don the SDA uniform but on their own. With face mask on for sure is easy to enjoy other facilities.

Yes they have to do better and objectively.

Not a nice feedback on ST forum page and many guests got the same feeling..

Lol, when my wife play ETF, I come to her machine and play with her, SDA told me cannot. It is not that I play with her for 5minutes or more, just for a short 1min also cannot.

I have not encountered a rude SDA on board. They are well-trained and courteous, and I don’t see any problems at all.
The first cruise on 6 Nov was indeed chaotic, but my second cruise on 20 Nov was well arranged. I arrived at MBCSS at 1 PM, and by 2:30 PM, I was already in the cabin. The swab test is no longer a big deal because I can hardly feel it, I even wonder whether the medical staff inserted the cotton stick into my nose? :s13: or perhaps my nose became deeper after the first digging? :s8:
My disappointment on 20 Nov cruise was unable to dine at Hot Pot and Uni Uma restaurants, which were fully booked on Fri and Sat, it was quite unbelievable when the butler told me they were full. My only choice was the western restaurant that I have never tried, and it turned out that the seafood platter was great! ==:p

Can ah.

A bro here posted the recruitment ad here before.

I'm pretty sure they have clear instructions to change out of uniform if they are not on duty and want to enjoy the facilities like a paying guest.

Yes they can enjoy what the cruise has to offer if is after duty and permitted..

Things that need money is not exactly cheap onboard .. the only cheaper things on board is cigs and beer(promo) and some duty free stuffs compare to land.. 1 plate of CKT at blue lagoon is SGD15 and on top there is 18% for all items

Hope they dont earn and give back to DC hahahaa..
