Looking 4 a job on a Cruiseline!

[rayveness]

Hey RayVeness here. I'm looking for anyone with information on how to get a job on a cruiseline. I have a friend that would like to talk to someone who is working or has already worked for a cruiseline in the past. Yes I know we can just Google it but please dig a little deeper and let's help my friend out!
There could be a nice blowjob in it for you! Seriously.
:nanner:

Blow job or not, I wouldn't do it...seriously

My niece looked into this and they wanted her to go to Cali for an interview and then be away for six months ata a time.
The crew has their own deck and they can't associate with the paid passengers except during their work.
The food is provided for them on their own deck.
You share a room with another worker - hope you get along with them.

My friends in the casino biz report that ..... it's a job. Accommodations rate as adequate. If your friend is expecting gratuities (tips), she might want to look elsewhere. Cruise passengers generally feel that spending money ends when they buy their ticket. One thing that came up, according to the people I've spoken to is that you might be put to work outside your career or job description (cleaning, bussing, moving furniture).

No one comes right out and says it sucks. But they make a clear point that it's nothing to write home about. I hope this helps.

I have a friend who's done this for 2 years now. He gets incredible tips and makes pretty decent money and banks it all, considering he can't spend it on the ship. He said something about working 2-3 weeks straight, being off for a week and then starting over. He's also told me some pretty crazy party stories between the crew during their off time. He made it sound pretty cool and he obviously loves it. This cruise ship job pretty much paid for his house.

I've known a few people that have worked on the entertainment side of a cruise. For performers it's as good as it gets. They get something like $3500 a month for playing 2 hour-long sets during the day. The rest of the time they're free to do as they please on the ship. Also, I've known a few people who were techs for the onboard entertainment, and they also said it's a cushy gig. You do one show a night, everything's already set up, and you're basically there to babysit things. Rigging-wise it doesn't get any easier; everything's really light, hung on fixed pipes, and there's not moving rigging, so the extent of rigging is putting up banners and taking them down. I wouldn't mind a job on a cruise ship.
