Some positions have “guests’ privileges,” and some may not. If you don’t, you are not permitted to be in passenger areas when you are off duty. Positions usually have deck privileges, such as cruise staff, youth staff, merchandise, pursers, GSAs, Shorex, Entertainers, Casino, and more; you can socialize with passengers in the lounges until your set curfew, which will be given to you when you get onboard. Some ships do not allow staff to drink alcohol in passenger areas.
If you are drunk while on duty or too drunk to perform emergency procedures, this will result in automatic dismissal.
