Your profile starts with three things: your cruise line, your ship, and your current status (onboard, at home, or on vacation).
If you are onboard, you can also add your department and position. These are free text fields, not a dropdown. Cruise lines do not use the same job titles, so type yours the way you actually say it. Leaving them blank does not stop you from finishing your profile.
If your status is “at home,” you skip the ship-specific screens. You will not appear on the Ports tab, but you can still appear in the Discover deck and be seen by other users there.
Add at least one photo to finish your profile. You need at least one photo at all times: removing your last one is blocked until you add a replacement. Every photo goes through an automatic check before anyone else can see it.
