Pros
Very good salary for shop assistants compared to other cruise lines. You can see different countries and meet people from other countries. The company pays your flight ticket.
Cons
- Crazy long working hours - Food is impossible to eat, old meat, you want to vomit even looking at it, no selection, just horrible meet, dangerously looking fish and rice with not even salt in it, and everything is full of oil. I gained 10 kilos in 6 months. Some people say it depends on the ship you're on. - Management, officers and basically almost everyone treats you like crap. Absolutely zero respect to employees. - On my ship they allowed to buy only two drinks a day in the crew bar. No social life for crew, crew bar looks like a prison yard. Housekeeping you don't even see in the crew bar because they are so exhausted they just sleep and work. - No cabin steward for staff (only for officers), regular surprise cabin inspections, checking if your cabin is clean and you have no time to clean it. - All the medical problems are treated with antibiotics. If you take more than two days of medical off they threaten you to fire you. - If you get fired, the money for your ticket is deducted from your salary. - very low crew morale, everyone complains all the time.
