My job profile

Lic. Lucy Vallejo

EFL Teacher
Mario Contadini

I’m a chef on a cruise ship. A cruise ship is a very big boat. People go on vacation on the
ship. The ship goes to different countries, so I travel a lot with my job – I’m not at home
very often! I go to places like Italy, Canada, and Mexico every year.

My job’s not easy. We usually have about 6,000 people on the ship – 4,000 people on
vacation and 2,000 workers. We make a lot of food every day! We make breakfast, lunch,
afternoon tea, and dinner for the people on the ship. In the morning, I usually get up early,
at six o’clock. I take a shower and get dressed, and then I go to the restaurant. I make
some coffee and eat breakfast. Then I start work!

We have 300 chefs on the ship. Some chefs make bread and cakes, some chefs prepare
fruit, vegetables, and salads; and some chefs just make food from one country, for
example, Japanese food. All the chefs are good at their job, and they’re friendly, too!
When you work on a cruise ship, you know people from a lot of different countries. The
job’s not boring because all the workers are nice.

The ship goes to a lot of interesting towns and cities. When you start this job, you want to
leave the ship and see these places. The young chefs always want to eat some food from
the towns and cities, too! I don’t do that – I don’t leave the ship. After work, I go to my
room and read a book, or I go to bed. I’m a father and sometimes I’m sad because I don’t
see my family when I’m on the ship. But I think I have a good job!
