scrb August 27, 2018 Share August 27, 2018 Interviews with a couple of real life chief stews on super yachts. https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/23/sport/superyacht-stewardess-spt-intl/index.html First of all, these chief stews clean, unlike Hannah. They even clean the makeup containers every day to make it appear like they're freshly-opened. Quote Nielsen and Hulbert, like many others, document their stewardess lives on Instagram. And while it may look glamorous as they spend the year chasing the sun from Mexico to the Caribbean and Europe, they sometimes only catch a glimpse of their surroundings through the yacht portholes as they clean guest suites with toothbrushes, toothpicks and cotton buds. "It's pretty crazy," Hulbert says. "When we go into every guest cabin on a daily basis we open every product, every piece of makeup, every item of face-wash and we check the cap. You clean it so it looks like it's just come directly from the shop. If it's foundation you wipe everything perfectly clean." Quote "When we wipe glass or mirrors we turn off all the lights and use the flashlight on our phone and then check for any smears or watermarks that we may have missed -- that's the closest possible way to making it as perfect as possible. "We've always got rags in our pocket wiping every fingerprint. If a guest touches a light on you go and wipe that light switch, if they go into their cabin and sit on their bed you make that bed so it looks like it's never been touched and the second they use a bathroom you're straight in there and giving it a clean."' The pay, especially the tips, are higher than shown on Below Deck Mediterranean: Quote Despite the long hours, it is an industry that offers attractive wages -- with stewardess salaries ranging from $2,700 to over $9,000 per month, depending on experience and yacht size -- and that doesn't include tips. It's customary to tip crew at least 10% of what the yacht costs to charter, which is then divided up among staff. So with most chartered yachts costing between $300,000 to over $1 million per week (not including fuel, water or food) -- crew can expect to get upwards of $2,000 additional in tips. There's also no expenses -- with board, meals and toiletries all covered. "Before you know it you can receive triple your month's wage after two weeks -- cash in hand," Nielsen says. "I remember the first time it happened and looking at the envelope of just cash and not even knowing what to do with it. Of course being American and seeing Euros I'm like 'this could be monopoly money for all I know. This hasn't even registered what's in my hand right now, it doesn't even look real.'" Stews are expected to have a certain look and the criteria for who gets hired seems entirely arbitrary to the whims of the owner of the yacht. Quote 33-year-old Chelsea Nielsen says stewardess' have to look the part. "You definitely have to maintain a sense of appearance. Your hair has to be tidy, your makeup has to look nice, you definitely cannot wear extravagant jewellery." Appearance is important, say both Nielsen and Hulbert, and that can be problematic. "It's very tough to get a job if you've struggled with weight," Nielsen says. "It's a physical job and if you're someone who struggles with that it may be a challenge for you." As well as that, tattoos are often off-limits -- even if they're not visible. "Some boats are all men, some boats probably don't have any employees of color, some boats won't hire a woman just because the owner doesn't like what your picture looks like on your CV," Nielsen says. As chief stewardess, Hulbert says, she's considered the "face of the entire interior." "At the end of the day we're doing whatever we can to keep the owner happy," she adds. And on board romances are not uncommon. In fact these two chief stews found their husband on board and often work together: Quote Despite the long days, both women happened to find love on board in between the cleaning and guest demands. "I saw him through the porthole of a boat next door and finally met him," Hulbert says of her now-husband who work together on the same boat. Nielsen also met her partner on board. "It's very challenging to maintain a relationship with someone who might not understand what it is you're going through -- I can only text you at certain times of the day, I probably can't call you because my service doesn't work in the middle of the ocean, I'll text you five minutes before I go to bed and then I'm going to have to go to sleep. "Having that partner on board especially if you're lucky enough to share a cabin, it's nice to go back and vent to each other, hug each other and remind each other that everything is going to be OK." 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/60420-stews-and-news-below-deck-med-in-the-media/page/2/#findComment-4624234

Psycho Suzy January 30, 2019 Share January 30, 2019 I just read on Bravo's website that Sandy, Hannah, Colin and JWow will be on the new Below Deck Med. Said Ben may be the chef, but hasn't been confirmed. The article didn't give a date, but said it will likely return in May. Very happy about Colin's return, but bummed about the rest. Can't stand any of the other three. I was hoping to see Jamie's name, she was so funny and laid-back and drama free. But that's probably why she's not returning, didn't bring the drama. I, for one, don't need or like the stupid kind of drama that the likes of Hannah and JWow bring.

In actuality, the bosun isn't equal rank to the chief stew. The First Officer is head of the deck crew. Aleks from season 1 of the mothership is the First Officer. Rapey Bryan from season 1 of BD: Med becomes the First Officer partway through the season. We also see the true importance of the First Officer come up during the fire on season 3 of the mothership and when the deck crew is grossly underqualified like in season 5. On Below Deck and BD: Med, the chief stew and purser are the same person. The other slight deviations we've seen are that CJ and Don were actually 2nd engineers who floated as deckhands.
