Hi Chihab,

I'm not sure what type of F&B questions you'll be asked but there will probably be quite a few questions about you as a person and the type of working enviornment you like. When you're living with people so close and personal they need to make sure you're pretty relaxed, not likely to get homesick and able to deal with stress. There will probably be questions about how you handled complaints and conflict, what do you do in certain situations, how you intend to handle being away from family, are you able to work long hours, share a cabin etc, be okay with not getting outside very much etc.

Good luck! Working on a ship is an amazing experience!
