What is it like to work on a Cruise ship?? Only answer if you have or are working on a ship.?
Hello my name is Ruth. I used to work on Carnival as a photographer. I will never forget the first contact I had with the office they told me do not expect to come down here and work two hours and spend the rest of the day basking in the sun. You do work long hours. with my job as a photographer I was classed as ship staff. Ship staff are allowed on the passenger decks when they are off duty so i was allowed to go to the disco or whatever lounge I wanted when I was off duty provided that you give the paying passenger first priority. The average contracts on a ship are six to eight months. Mine where all eight months. I worked for Carnival for eight years and there are times when I feel I am sorry that I left. I will give you my e-maill address which is goruth@amtelecom.net you can e-mail me with all the questions that you want and I will be glad to answer them for you because if you are going to work on a cruise ship let me tell you yes it is hard work but it is also very rewarding also you will meet people from all around the world. There are approximately 90 different nationalities that work on board ship. Hope to hear from you. Hello my name is Ruth. I used to work on Carnival as a photographer.
