Anyone ever worked on a cruise ship?

It's probably the hardest job you will ever have, but at the same time, it will probably be the most fun you will have. And it's not hard, like physically hard. But, mentally. And it takes time to adjust to a 7pday a week schedule and not having any days off. At least it did for me. I was offered two positions, one was Assistant Purser and the other was on the Production Team. I accepted the Production Team one. So primarily I worked with the entertainers and singers and dancer, and the entertainment department in general. I think if I went back, I would try and get a purser position. I have more experience in that area, and I think I would be more in my comfort level. I had experience in theater too, but it wasn't as recent. Overall, I liked it. There were days when I just wanted to walk off the ship (as long as it was in port). But, now that I am back home, there are some days that I really miss it. Despite all the little stupid things that are part of living and working on a ship. It is certainly not a job for everyone, nor should it be. You have to have a certain amount of commitment and pride in what you do. And it helps if you're a happy, upbeat, optimistic person. Now, in my position we were allowed in guest areas when we weren't working. We had to be in uniform, but we were allowed to use guest facilities (except for casino and dining rooms) But we could eat in the specialty restaurants aboard ship, as long as they weren't full. And we could use the guest pools and long as there were less than 5 people in them. But ship privileges vary from ship to ship and department to department

it is good, travelling different destinations for free, but bouring job after a while you will need a change.

i know somebody who worked on one and has just recently gone back to work on one again. she does beauty stuff. she must have liked it if she has gone back.
