Working on a Cruise Ship

[Will Wood]

Anyone ever done this? I've always thought it would be fun and a good experience to do something like this, and at lunch today I was talking to a guy who did it last summer.

Anyone been on a Cruise and can maybe point out the better cruise lines that I might want to pick out? I'm completely clueless as to were I even want to begin with this.

You had better speak portugese or spanish as that is the most common of the languages spoken by the staff... Unless you get one of the better high end staff positions, you are sardined into a bunkroom with 5 other people, have no privacy, and you work like a dog. I don't think that it is glamorous at all, but then again, I have never seen the attraction to be on a big expensive floating hotel in the first place.

No living expensive, crapload of hours, semi decent pay.
I'm gonna try to land a job on one as a bartender. That would be nice if I could do that so I wouldn't have to be a deckboy or something.

Actually most of the staff on my cruise ship were from like Finland, Denmark, Germany. There english was pretty good, I wouldnt like it though you work your butt off on a cruise ship.
