When your employment contract ends, you should visit the purser's office to sign the employment contract once more, that is, to "sign off." You will then receive your own copy of the employment contract. If you have signed a longer employment contract that also includes days off, you should not sign off before the employment contract ends. If you are leaving early in the morning, for example, you can sign off the evening before (depending on how the purser's office is staffed).
Before leaving the cabin for cleaning, you should take dirty bed linens and towels to the designated location (often in the cabin corridor). Dirty work clothes are placed in a bag along with a completed laundry slip and placed in the designated location (often in the cabin corridor). You clean up trash and garbage from the cabin yourself. Before leaving the cabin, you report that the cabin is ready for cleaning. Instructions regarding this are available in the cabin.
All crew members leaving the ship must remember to register out by swiping their crew card through a card reader. It is essential that you remember this, as failure to do so will result in your continued listing as a crew member on the alarm list. You are then expected to participate in safety drills organised on board and act according to your assigned safety number in the event of a potential emergency. Once you have registered out of the crew list, the crew card no longer functions as an access card. Therefore, register out just before going ashore.
The cabin key is returned according to the directives on the specific ship.
Your crew card is returned to the information desk before you leave the ship.
