What can fans expect on Below Deck Mediterranean Season 8?
According to a press release, "From outrageous guests to after-hours antics, the boat gets rocked throughout each charter as the crew navigates complicated dynamics and unexpected rifts. In a franchise first, unprecedented staffing changes dominate the season, which tests each department as they struggle to find their sea legs through unforeseen turnover."
What's more, the new vessel "challenges" Captain Sandy's deck crew as they "attempt to navigate the busy industrial port with utmost precision."
"Before they even leave the dock, visa issues tie up two crew members while a department head mismanages important paperwork," the press release continues. "Sandy leans on temporary help for the first charter and an unexpected shake-up results in a change of hierarchy. On deck, the crew is overwhelmed by their workload on the oversized vessel as the interior deals with a clash of personalities. Chef Jack wows the guests with his impressive take on local Italian fare, but things start to sour when communication goes south."
There's also drama "when disagreements impact productivity and former friendships start to implode, Sandy is faced with a wave of difficult decisions."
