Has anyone worked for a cruise?

Bonus if you were an entertainer and had to do dancing renditions to Cats or something like that.

I love how you basically talked yourself out of the cool factor of a semester at sea in the other post and then moved on to working on a cruise ship.

At one point I was considering a position on a Disney cruise line as a character performer, but then I discovered large boats make me extremely seasick.

Once again, my H did this. After his tall ship sank he thought it would be a good idea to work on a cruise ship. Luckily, this one didn't sink. He was a youth security officer. Basically made sure the teenagers on board behaved themselves. He worked for Princess and did the San Francisco to Alaska route and he loved it!

Lived on one for a few months, but didn't work. Again, flipping AWESOME! It was on Holland America's Rotterdam.
I now have over 400 days at sea....LOVE CRUISING!

ETA: I also get crazy seasick. One Bonine a day and I'm fine.

My younger sister did for 2 years. No idea how she lasted that long. the crew quarters are super small and the showers are a joke. She is 6 ft tall and had to wash 1/2 her body at a time.

My husband worked for RC for about 6 years, in the kids' program. He had is own cabin, saved a TON of money, went all over the world, and met a lot of really cool people who he still keeps in touch with. Some of them were dancers/entertainers. If you have any specific questions I could ask him :-)

I did for 4 years. Meet my now husband onboard, he was also a crew member.

A few great stories and the best decision I made for myself. Started when I was 19 and tired of small town Minnesota.

It can get really boring really quickly but you just have to make the most of it. 16 to 18 hours of work on your feet can make it go by quickly.
