RE: Cruising down the Bristol Channel in Waverley - the worlds last seagoing paddle steamer,

in Worldmappin2 years ago

I worked on a few different ones actually. From small cargo to larger cargo(ro/ro) and then finally on a cruise ship. It's definitely fun if you have a good group to work with since you'll be spending a lot of time together. It's not for everyone though and if you are like me and get seasick easily then it def won't work out long term. I tried and can confirm. It does not get better haha.

Sort:  

Not a good career if you get seasick, I'm surprised you lasted a few years!

My niece did a contract on a cruise ship a few years managing one of the shops. She met a colleague and have been together. Worked out well for them!!

That actually seems to happen a lot in that industry. A lot of working couples on the cruise ship I was on too. Only way I survived that long is because the first few ships didn't go to any rough seas. After my first trip through the North Sea is when I learned my lesson haha.
