One cruise ship worker has shed light on the terminology used on board by the staff – and the one word you don't want to encounter.
One cruise ship worker has shared a playful insight into the lingo used on board While guests might enjoy a week or so long holiday on a cruise ship, for the crew that work on board, it becomes their home. And living and working together in such close quarters, often for months on end, means that the crew can get pretty close — and even develop their own lingo.
’ Banana means ‘trouble’ – but no one knows where it came from Elsewhere, they translated ‘amo’ as a ‘flattering way of addressing someone’ like your boss, supervisor, or senior, while ‘taka taka’ means ‘nonsense talk, gossiping or rambling.’ ‘If a crew forgets to hand you an item or an order and they come back to bring it to you and you wanna tease them you can say “I know why you forgot my extra towels. Because you do TOO MUCH TAKA TAKA with other attendants in the storeroom”,’ they added.
