What are living conditions like onboard commercial sailing vessels?
I’m curious to know what living conditions are like onboard the average commercial sailing vessel. I’m considering attending a Maritime academy and becoming licensed as a sailor/deck officer.
How are the living/sleeping quarters? What about showers and bathrooms?
Let's talk more about this... can you do me a quick 30-second favor and leave a comment below? And I'll send you a free gift.

Well if you go to an Academy you will graduate with a license and become an officer on board. You will have your own state room with double bed, your own head with shower, desk, maybe lazy boy or couch, and maybe TV (you can always bring one on board). Someone will make your bed and clean your head everyday. You get three meals a day and if you have a good steward and cook the meals will be great. Most ships have a large selection of movies, DVD, and books. Most ships have email to write home. Some of the coast wise ships I have been on have had direct TV in the rooms, which is pretty cool. All in all most companies make life on board ship very comfortable. I was even on one ship that had turned a long passageway into a bowling alley. By the way not sure where you are thinking of going, but California Maritime is an excellent Academy.
