Gentlemen, has anyone here ever worked a season on the high seas? What's life on the cruise ship like? Do you have any tips on how to land a good job? What company did you work for? What are some jobs you definitely wouldn't recommend?
To me it seems like an adventure of a lifetime and a great opportunity to make some money and see the world, albeit it's not all fun and games because they aren't giving out all that money and accomodation for free, you have to work your ass off. The guy I talked to worked as a waiter on some ship that went from Alaska to South America. On an average day, he worked 12 or more hours a day and slept in a shitty bed bunk with a Filipino roommate who snored. There is practically no idle time onboard. I'm personally no stranger to hard work and I could easily endure 6 months of hard work for a hefty salary, especially because I'm looking for a way to escape my tedious 9-5 and experience something new, which motivates me even further.
I'd love to hear your experiences
