Pros

Amazing way to save money! See the world! Make lasting friendships! Amazing production values in shows that far surpase any other line!

Cons

Hard to be away from friends and family. The contracts are very long, but this is both good and bad. Good because you are employed for a long time at a good salary, but bad because you are away.
