Working on a cruise ship

hey guys, completely random topic here but get over it

have any of you, or even some1 you know, worked on a cruise ship before?
I'm considering doing it next year for 8 months or so but would like to get some feedback from some people first.
I think it'll be really great, I mean get paid to see the world and you'll be banking a huge amount of you're income.
and also, any idea on where to apply?

what type of job u gona do on the ship, there are a lots, and some dont get paid that much?

I was thinking of working as a fitness instructor as that's what I'm doing part time at the moment hey
it's more just to get away from everything you know?
experience the world and make some cash same time

A friend of mine works on a ship as a Photographer,apparently its quite pricey to 1 of those jobs.You have to do it through an agent who employs for cruise ships.Check around for 1 in your area.

I know a girl who makes fat cash on a ship.
She massages and does facials, and even gets paid to teach women about make-up!? :blink:
Check the Rhapsody/Melody ship's websites. Or Starlight cruises.
Maybe there is info on there.
Good luck!

I know two personal trainers who did it. They worked through Steiner. www.onespaworld.com/

If you're application is successful you have to go to London first where you will receive a month's training and so forth then they send you on which ever ship they feel like. They work as an agency on behalf of all of the cruise liners.

The first time you go you have to sign a contract for 9 months. After that you can sign up again for as long as you want. The one did it for three years, she made decent cash and set up her own business.

O yeah the cabins are small as fuck.

thanx for all the feedback guys
applied at a few places now just waiting for feedback.

i have a friend who worked his way up on the ships, he told me once that he has so much money now he doesn't know what to do with it, i think its around 8 years he has done this..

not the type of job for me, as he says u work 7 days a week, and work multiple shifts doing different things, doubt u just going to do fitness... but if you want some phat cash, do it...

But on the flip side i know of a few guys who went and they were screwed big time ... no payment. The one dude even got standed in some port when they told him he has to find his own way back. Just make dubly sure the people you are dealing with has a sound reputation before bowing to the bright lights and promises of piles of cash.

My friends bother worked on a ship for like 10 years.

He told me your work like a dog , but get paid well.

I think its one of those jobs "its either for you or not"
