Royal Caribbean Group reviews

First off, the lifestyle can wear you out after a long contract. The crew areas are not the same as the guest areas. Extremely small quarters. Tight, bleak hallways, annoying, ever present hum of the ship's machinery. Many of the crew members are rude, unintelligent, and have no social skills. You will not have a lot of privacy. As an orchestra musician you will likely have a roommate, and there are very few areas of the ship to find solitude. Not much room for upward mobility. As a musician, you can move up to musical director, but that's about it, and they make only slightly more money than the regular orchestra musicians. The crew food is often of pretty low quality, and because of cutbacks, is getting worse all the time. The party scene may become overwhelming. Many people working on cruise ships are overgrown high school children, and will need a liver transplant by the time they are 40. ...and probably some therapy. The musicians might not be that great. It's kind of a crap shoot. Best advice I can give: If you have the choice for your first contract, go for a short contract (0-4 months) or a vacation fill.

They treat there employees like slaves. You are expected yo jump through hoops at their whim. If you are part of the "cool kids club" you can rest assure you are safe from anything. If you are like me you come in to work, do your job with integrity and do not feed into the "oh this is so and so they are exempt from security procedures" you are screwed. If you state your mind you are shot down. They have the most incompetent people working in iT. They outsourced the it dept and then they got rid of them the only folks that knew what and how to resolve issues, they now have some idiots in Mexico trying to assist users and they cannot find engine ass with both hands and a map. Worst company to work for they do not care for employees at all. Richard Fain is a tool.
