MY RESEARCH BEFORE APPLYING.

Image
This story started even before I joined my first ship.   In the exact moment I  followed  my sister's advice I decided to do some research, Yes! Because even if I chose only one company to apply, I did extensive research about EVERYTHING.   Of course I used our bestie… Youtube, one of my favs is this video in which Huong talks about small aspects of working on board that were really important for me.   In this video she mentioned couple of aspects of working on board cruise ships like: You work 7 days a week. “Is something very important to   understand because not everybody can pull that, not everybody is made for every kind of job… so from the beginning of your contract until the end you work every single day,   there's no such thing like a weekend or a holiday,   we even   completely lose track of what day of the week it is."   You always have to keep the time in mind. “Obviously, the ship is not going to sta...

They said you could work on board cruise ships, but one professor said it was the worst job ever you could do. Of course, that was just his personal opinion.

I watched a bunch of videos online, found out about the most popular cruise companies and the application process, asked some peo...
