It is melting pot feeling which evokes mixed feeling of being blessed and cursed at the same time.

Business Outlook

Pros

Travel around the world, see cities and events all around, cheap tickets, 5-star resorts/hotels, best possible beginner, junior mng package.

Cons

The routines on-board become a factory-like work, the contact with passengers suffers due to heavy service demands from the company. You travel all around, but you don't really feel the placeas you go to, majority is a 24hour stay. There is minimal aspect of self-development, motivation to shoot for something higher. Once your stuck in it, thats it.
