Basically you'll have a pretty sweet life, plenty time off and you'll get to enjoy going to ports and getting off the ship a lot. You'll be sharing a room with someone, you will have little privacy, but you will meet a lot of new and exciting people. As for applying, if you do a google search for whatever company name plus employment you'll usually find something on there you can apply direct through. Oh and whoever was talking about how it's fun if you aren't a cook or housekeeper, if you aren't indonesian or filipino that won't be an issue (they only hire those guys from there)

Yeah, appearance is pretty much everything because there's small minded fuckwits on board who have been given a tiny amount of power and will do all they can to make your life hell if you don't meet their standards. You're going to love it.

I could probably write a book about the social dynamics on board a cruise ship. Anyone who's worked on one knows there is a second rank structure behind the 'official' one based entirely on respect, and if you piss the wrong person off, your life becomes really, really loving difficult.

FV, you don't know what you're on about. Just make sure the ratings all know that you're senior to them and they'll be happy to help you with anything you need.
