In this laugh-out-loud episode of Beyond the Engine Room, Rob takes us back to his SGM days aboard the Sky Princess as it sailed from the misty bays of San Francisco to the vibrant beaches of Acapulco.
With the Pacific breeze whipping across the decks, the crew faced long hours, constant repairs, and the occasional burst pipe—but that didn’t stop Rob from injecting some fun into the chaos.
He shares the tale of a cheeky $20 bet with a crewmate that saw him racing off to Senor Frog’s in Mazatlán for an extended “lunch break,” revealing his winning move in the most hilarious fashion. We’ll also hear about a particularly rowdy crew bar night, the challenge of navigating work amidst unexpected fiestas, and how the allure of tacos and tequila always seemed to pull the team ashore.
Whether you’re a cruise ship enthusiast or just love a good story of mischief on the high seas, this episode dives into the camaraderie, hijinks, and occasional chaos of life below deck. Tune in to find out how Rob and his crew kept the ship running—and themselves laughing—all the way to Acapulco.
