Curious to know places I can expect to travel and see, and if I’d have chance to explore where ever I may travel. And what can I expect to do as a chef, such as downtime, hours worked and personal training?
My principle interest was to travel the world as a Stoker. I wasn't disappointed on that respect & whilst others were perceived as being paid more for doing less, I found the way to increase income was to excel at my job.If Keeboo's principal interest is seeing the world as a Chef, then he should consider Cruise Ships. They really do travel the world and the pay is excellent.
There is one proviso however. Keeboo will need to be an exceptional chef.
More Lobster Thermidor than Herrings-In or Yellow Peril.
Also not forgetting the £5000 bonus for finishing the training that they get paid to do....Anyone that wants to be a professional chef from scratch, paid a wage whilst learning and seeks world travel will probably find the Royal Navy offers more than most.

I couldn't agree more.Being a Chef in the Royal Navy is hard work, but I'd never suggest a chef would get paid more for doing less in the merchant navy.

2nd has only just joined her ship, she posted some pics on face ache last week, not too sure exactly where she was, but it was one of the Scandinavian countries, and as I am away from my pc for a few weeks and am having problems logging into face ache on my tablet, I cannot double check.
Moral is, you could end up visiting just about anywhere with a port.
btw both are on Type 23s

Been out far too long for me use my experiences on where you will get to go, but, a few years ago I got press ganged into joining my local SCC, two ex cadets have recently been to sea on their 1st ships, one has just returned from a gulf deployment, stops off in various med ports on way there and back, visits to a number of the gulf states and a couple of weeks in Mombasa. 2nd has only just joined her ship, she posted some pics on face ache last week, not too sure exactly where she was, but it was one of the Scandinavian countries, and as I am away from my pc for a few weeks and am having problems logging into face ache on my tablet, I cannot double check.
