cruise ship work

Former Member

I thinking of working on a cruise ship, has any one had any experiences?
I have qualifcations in fitness instructing and a HND in media so I was thinking of applying to be a cruise ship photographer or failing that try my luck as a fitness instructor

My friend worked on a cruise ship - she enjoyed it but only for so long - about 6 months as its fun but very full on and you have to share a tiny cabin with 4 - 6 other people so you dont' get much space to yourself.

She was a dancer/entertainer and they had loads of restrictions on things like having to maintain a pretty low weight and being constantly waxed and in general looking pretty glamarous all the time.

But it meant she got some time off to visit the places she visited and saved up money to go traveling after she left. She also met her fiance there and he was a photographer on board but i think he had done quite a lot of that type of work beforehand.

I hope that helps
