Within our society we are always surrounded by ethics, there are then more specific ethical rules we have to follow with in our profession and in our job role.
Within my job as a Dancer on a Cruise ship we have specifies ethical guidelines:
Punctuality
We have to make sure we are 15 mins early to and activity we are required to do. We should be warm and ready to do rehearsals and shows well in advanced.
Professionalism
We follow our dance captain/cruise directors instructions with out question, even if we do not agree with what we are being asked to do. We respect our fellow cast members and keep cast morale up.
Appearance
We must be in the correct uniform for any duties we have to do with neat hair and make up. We are also required to present ourselves well and sick to the guidelines of the ‘Carnival Look Book’. This means we have to wear trousers a collard shirt and closed toe shoes when in guest areas during the day and in the evening we must be in formal wear with dresses of and appropriate length. Name tag must be worn at all times.
Behavior
There is no swearing in guest areas or PDA (personal displays of affection). We need to use the guests names as much as possible and smile and interact with them when in guest areas, even when off duty.
Alcohol
When at work we our alcohol blood levels should be at 0.0 and in our free time they must not exceed 0.08 incase an emergency should arise.
Health and Safety
Know how to organise the guests and keep them calm and safe should an emergency situation arrive. Know where the firefighting equipment is placed in each room. Keep watch for any hazards around the entire ship. If there is an issue either sort it out if possible or call someone to come and sort it out.
A lot of these are specific to ship life, especially the health and safety aspect. However, a lot of them can be cross referenced with other dance jobs on land as well as regular jobs.
